Workshops for Teachers - Aarohi Life Education

You are here because you run a school as Director or Principal or HM or you are a school coordinator. You know the importance of continuous learning for your team of teachers and you want to value add to the team’s development – since it directly impacts children of your school.

Broadly teacher training can be divided into three scenarios

Value adding to teaching skills / methods (this would include areas like Active learning, Multiple Intelligences, Learning Organisers, Thinking Skills, Habits of minds, etc).
Helping teachers solve issues in classroom (this would include areas like Disciplining and Behaviour management, Learning Styles, Helping slow learners, etc).
Creating a child-based democratic school (this would include making the children lead own learning, learning tools, self assessment, students managed classrooms, collaborative learning, etc)

Even if you are more interested in #1 or #2 above – may we invite you to look at your approach which is more of #3 – more child-led.
You see the more the children lead their learning the less you have deal with #1 and #2 .
Which is why typically our first workshop for teachers in any school is called EMPOWERING children.
Once we catch on with this paradigm – 70% f our work is done!

Anyhow beloe we have a list of workshops that we usually do. We can also do workshop on any topic that you have a need for.
For schools in and around Hosur, Bangalore we can do in-person workshops. For schools across the world we can do online workshops – which in our experience is equally effective.

Typical workshop is of 2 hour duration.
Financial Contribution for any workshop is on a sliding scale of ₹15,000 to ₹25,000. Since aarohi is a charitable trust the amount you contribute will go for our charitable activities.
There is not limit to number of participants. We even encourage you to invite parents of your school to join your teachers (since anyways the parents play a huge teacher role @home).
