DPS-Modern Indian School students of the senior wing attended a Workshop on Effective Communication, Leadership and Teaching organized for them in the Pearl Hall of the School recently.

Resource person Dr. Razeena Padmam, Professor and Director of School of Behavioral Sciences, MG University, Kottayam, Kerala, has received the National Award for academic excellence. She is also a member of the Indian Council for Social Science Research and has organized several workshops and seminars, including International Conferences.

The Workshop at DPS-MIS aimed at the practical aspects and various factors of communicating successfully. The communicator and the Receiver together make effective learning possible and in turn result in the making of good leaders in society. A question-answer session followed where students clarified doubts and query.

Acting Principal Ms. Asna Nafees Headmistress Shibanti Bhowmik were also present for the occasion.

Later in the afternoon, it was the turn of the school officials to attend the workshop. Dr. Padmam highlighted ‘teaching’ as an activity designed and performed for multiple objectives in terms of changes in pupil’s behavior.

A teacher has many roles to play in the life of the students and needs to focus on her potentials, her conceptual, teaching and personal skills. She must ensure confidentiality and do her utmost to reduce conflict. Be a good friend and be generous in giving ‘strokes’ and rewards to the students whenever required. One must do away with punishment. Teen-aged students must be dealt with understanding, love and unconditional regards. They should be helped to identify stress and taught ways to cope with it. Effective learning and teaching will ultimately pave the way to right decision -making skill, inspire and generate solutions for difficult problems.

The workshop concluded successfully with words of gratitude to resource person Dr. Razeena Padmam, senior Activity coordinator Ms. Mou Bera and Ms. Bindu Saleem for kind support in making the workshop a success.
