In an attempt to train Adarsh School teachers towards latest school teaching techniques, Punjab State Education Board has collaborated with Lovely Professional University to conduct Instructional Workshops. The workshops aim at preparing teachers for technology oriented teaching programmes and improving the effectiveness of teaching with an emphasis on value inculcation, for the 9 Adarsh Schools which have been opened in Punjab. Adarsh schools which have been opened with the motive of providing quality education to the rural populace shall be targeted through this workshop so as to bring about effective class room teaching for the students. Through this workshop 43 lecturers teaching students of 11th and 12th, 89 teachers teaching students from class 1 to 10th and 6 primary level teachers will be trained to restructure the teaching methodology at the school level.

“The base should be formed for the students at the School level only. It is only when the fundamentals are clear, the students can grasp whatever is being taught in the higher classes,” said Mr. Ashok Mittal, Chancellor, Lovely Professional University. “LPU has got this opportunity to contribute at the grass root level for both Primary and secondary level.” After the success of this initiative he added that he is sure that the students as well as teacher will benefit immensely.

The workshop had been organized in to 6 phases. The first phase shall lay stress on training of the lecturers in all the Adarsh Schools in Punjab, the second phase would be directed towards junior and master level teachers of Muktsar and Bathinda and the third phase would lay stress on the training of the junior and master level teachers at Moga, Amritsar and Ferozepur.

The first session of the same took place today in Chandigarh where the specialists in the field of Education, from LPU delivered lectures on various issues like synchronization of cognitive and effective domain in class room teaching etc.

“It was an eye opener for the teachers. We learnt that through these modern techniques the students grasp the lectures very easily. I will surely implement them in my school,” said Mr. Prabhjot Singh, a computer lecturer at Bhago, Muktsar. LPU is the first university which has taken an initiative in this regards.

“LPU has taken many initiatives to change the outlook and the teaching patterns at the grass root level. We are positive that through these small initiatives, a difference can be brought in,” said Mr. Mittal
