Empowering Educators: Two-Day Training on Experiential Learning
St. Joseph’s Convent Hr. Sec. School, Khandwa, in collaboration with the CBSE Centre of Excellence (COE), Bhopal, successfully hosted a two-day Teachers’ Training Programme on Experiential Learning on 8th and 9th November 2025. The workshop aimed at transforming classroom practices by equipping teachers with hands-on teaching strategies and student-centric methodologies aligned with the vision of NEP 2020.
Creating Classrooms That Think, Explore, and Grow
Experiential learning—rooted in the idea of learning by doing—encourages students to connect knowledge with real-life experiences. The training helped our teachers explore practical techniques that nurture curiosity, foster critical thinking, and make learning meaningful and joyful.
Both days were filled with interactive discussions, collaborative tasks, and reflective exercises that guided teachers to rethink their approach to lesson planning, assessment, and classroom engagement.
