The C’s that Matter- Professional Development Workshop for Junior School Teachers

On November 1, 2025, the Junior School teachers of Modern High School for Girls attended a workshop as part of the Teachers’ Development Programme. The session, titled-The C’s that Matter was conducted by Mrs. Saba Islam, an educator by passion, a parent coach by profession and an emotional intelligence coach by practice.

Mrs. Islam emphasized the four essential C’s that play a vital role in every classroom — Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication and Collaboration. She spoke about the powerful influence teachers have in shaping the lives of their students and highlighted ways to nurture these skills effectively.

The session was lively and full of hands-on activities that brought laughter, reflection and meaningful discussions. Each activity encouraged us to think differently and helped us understand how to nurture the 4 C’s in our students every day.

The workshop served as a meaningful reminder that as educators, we are not just imparting knowledge but also inspiring young minds to think, create, connect and grow together

   

Professional Development Session- Nurturing Teachers’ Wellbeing

As part of our ongoing commitment to the Professional Development of our teachers, the Junior School organised an Interactive Session on Nurturing Teachers’ Wellbeing which was conducted by Dr. J R Ram, an eminent psychiatrist of Kolkata.

Dr. Ram addressed issues like triggers for stress, coping mechanisms, balancing workload, time management, mindfulness and other factors leading to anxiety, burnout and depression.

The interactive session, enriched with relatable examples and gentle humour was both engaging and eye-opening. It was an enriching experience that reminded us that caring of our students begins with caring for ourselves. As educators, we felt empowered with practical tools, renewed purpose and a deeper understanding of our own well-being.
