Teacher Learning and Development programme

Dr.Sundarji started the session by narrating the story of Shri. Vishnu Sharma, a popular  teacher, a  man of 80 years old who wrote the Panchatantra story. Through this story, we could learn moral values such as discipline, diligence, time management, punctuality, etc.

As teachers, we must know  about  the  "Why"  type of question answers. If we inculcate this type of attitude among the students it develops their curiosity to imbibe knowledge.

At the end of the session, Dr.Sundarji quoted Edmund Burke's beautiful quote “Example is the school of  mankind  and  he will learn at no other” .
