TEACHER’S TRAINING PROGRAMME (25th Sept to 27th Sept,2024)
The Excel Consultants conducted a teacher training program from September 25th to September 27th, 2024, with Mr. Christanand Vaze leading the seminar. The primary objective was to foster an understanding among teachers regarding their responsibilities towards the students and the school.
The seminar commenced with a solemn prayer led by Mr. Christanand, setting the stage for the ensuing discussions. He articulated key areas of focus for teachers, including punctuality, adherence to uniform guidelines, self-awareness, ensuring student safety, providing encouragement, and fostering empathy.
Additionally, Mr. Christanand highlighted essential aspects for teachers to consider, such as setting a positive example, active listening, providing encouragement, demonstrating empathy, nurturing self-awareness, and exercising patience with the students. Subsequently, teachers were organized into six distinct groups, tasked with embodying and enacting the aforementioned principles.
Later, Ms. Mansi delivered a demonstration lesson to the primary teachers, who were then tasked with conducting similar demo lessons the subsequent day, tailored to their respective subjects. The secondary teachers were also required to deliver demonstration lessons.
On the final day of the seminar, teachers were prompted to devise action plans for the six focal points discussed on the initial day, with the collective goal of enhancing student well-being and the school environment. The seminar also included engaging ice-breaking activities to cultivate brotherhood and relaxation among the participants.
8TH TO 10TH JUNE 2023.
The three-day training session for Grade 1 to Grade 10 teachers, conducted by an Excel consultant, started with a prayer and was followed by meditation and a warm-up session. The purpose of these activities was to create a calm and focused atmosphere for the teachers to engage in the training effectively.
After the initial activities, the teachers were divided into groups. Each group was assigned a specific topic, and they were asked to share their experiences and insights related to that topic. This group discussion allowed the teachers to learn from one another’s experiences and perspectives, fostering a collaborative and interactive learning environment.Following the group discussions, the teachers received training on how to prepare a chapter plan for each lesson that would be included in the upcoming term exam. The chapter plan is a structured outline of the topics and subtopics that need to be covered in a particular lesson. It helps the teachers to organize their thoughts and ensure comprehensive coverage of the curriculum.
To assist the teachers in creating effective chapter plans, a format was provided. This format likely included sections such as lesson objectives, learning activities, assessment methods, and resources needed. The teachers were required to follow this format and incorporate it into their lesson plans.

Convent of Jesus and Mary International School Kharghar had organised a three day training from 16th February to 18th February 2023, for the teachers by the Excel consultants.
Day 1
No training is successful without the blessings of the almighty. A prayer to the holy Trinity was said by Sir Christanand.
We then kick started with the training which involved the annual curriculum planned for the entire year 2023-2024.
This year the annual curriculum plan will be done weekly as explained by Sir Jeremy to all the teachers to keep a track of how many lessons can be covered within a month.
Later we were divided into groups according to the subjects we teach. Each teacher was assigned a subject and was guided on how to plan the curriculum.
For the pre primary and Primary teachers the session began with an ice breaker where each one had to talk about something positive about the person sitting besides them. It was indeed a good time listening to such positive thoughts about each other. The training then continued with planning of the lessons according to the number of working days.
Day 2
The teachers together with their Co teachers gathered and prepared the key concepts and the learning outcomes along with what resources could be used for a particular lesson according to the given subjects.
Day 3
The training began with a variety of outdoor games arranged by the team at the basket ball court. Teachers were indeed happy playing games after such a long time. We were totally refreshed and energetic throughout the day. We then proceeded with the work assigned to us.
We thank the entire team of the excel consultant for guiding us and preparing us for the upcoming Academic Year 2023- 2024.
