Practical Understanding of Competency-Based Pedagogy: Ms. Porwal broke down the concept of competency-based pedagogy into simple, actionable strategies that teachers could implement immediately. She highlighted how shifting focus from rote memorization to skill-building ensures long-term learning outcomes.
Interactive Engagement with Teachers: The session was highly interactive, with teachers actively participating in polls, reflective questions, and small practical activities. This created a collaborative environment where teachers felt comfortable sharing their views and experiences.
Subject-Wise Applications: A major highlight was how Ms. Porwal connected the pedagogy to real classroom subjects like Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and Languages. She explained how competency-based teaching can make these subjects more engaging and student-friendly.
Focus on Student-Centric Learning: Teachers learned how to design lessons that prioritize skill development, problem-solving, and application-based learning. The emphasis was on making classrooms fun, stress-free, and outcome-oriented.
Teacher Participation and Feedback:
The 41 participating teachers appreciated the balance of theory and practice throughout the session. Many participants shared that the clarity of explanation and the real-life examples given by Ms. Porwal helped them better visualize how to apply these methods in their own classrooms. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with teachers describing the webinar as engaging, practical, and insightful. They highlighted that the strategies discussed would not only improve classroom outcomes but also foster greater student confidence and curiosity.
The Principal of University Model School also expressed deep appreciation for the session, noting how essential such workshops are in empowering teachers to embrace innovative pedagogies.
