CBSE Workshop for Teachers

A two-day workshop was conducted on the 14th & 15th July 2023 by the CBSE Resource personnel- Shri Renee Joseph Mendonce- Principal PPS, Mysore & Smt. Geethika Kharola- Ex Principal JSS, Bengaluru.
Topic: Critical and Creative thinking.
Venue: A.V.Hall, Radhakrishna Block.
Participants: Teachers of Police Public School & Global School
Inaugural Function: By Shri M.V.Ramakrishna Prasad DIGP, KSRP & Sec. PPS; Shri. K.S.Raghunatha Commandant, 4th battalion KSRP & Asst. Sec. PPS.,the Resource personnel and the Principal lit the lamp, followed by an invocation song rendered by the staff teachers.
In his speech Shri. M.V.Ramakrishna Prasad DIGP, KSRP & Sec.PPS drew attention to the many challenges faced by the teaching fraternity; thus the need of the hour is to equip themselves with the needed skills in this world of cut-throat competition; and to make the children relevant for the 21st Century.
The first day of the workshop dealt with Critical thinking, while on the second day the focus was on Creative thinking... Both the thinking overlaps and are interdependent. The need is to educate students in both ways. Thinking has to be taught as a skill. We often find children with fixed mind-sets. It's important to develop growth mind-set- believing that intelligence and abilities can grow through personal efforts only.
Critical thinking is more relevant today in the context of 'Fake news', that is circulated around us, day-in and day-out. Only critical thinking will allow us to verify the authenticity of such news. There is more to reasoning than logic, so there is more thinking than reasoning. Collaborative thinking builds consensus and facilitates rich and effective critical and creative thinking. Reflection is one of the most crucial processes to activate both the thinking's. Possibility thinking is through the process of see, think and wonder. The process of design thinking is to have a prototype tested. The process of problem solving is to clearly identify the problem, brainstorming, setting the objectives, studying it privately, sharing and evaluating its outcomes.
The teachers were glad to have attended this crucial workshop. It was well appreciated. They felt encouraged to put into practice and execute the insights gained on Critical and Creative thinking. Thinking has to be taught as a skill. The training was a mix of theory and insightful practice.. -- Click here to view Photos --
