Asha-Kiran endeavors to equip children and teens with the tools they will need when they reach adulthood. One of these tools is conventional education, so it is only fitting that those who have a close relationship with the children in this sense -their teachers- be people who are not only well trained academically, but also know how to relate to their pupils, use discipline with tact and respect, and enjoy the work that they do.
With this aim in mind, our latest Teacher Training activity took place at Yashodhara Shelter, where the teachers attended the following sessions:
Stress management
Behavior problems and how to deal with them
(Given by Ms. Divekar, Counsellor from Pune Municipal Corporation).
How to improve memory
How to develop teaching skills
(Given by Mr. Son Kamble, retired Pune University professor).
Counselling needs
(Given by Ms. Varsha Kali, President of Indian Union for Barbala).
Our thanks to them and Ella and Madukar Sarode from the NGO Dyandaine, for networking with Asha-Kiran, coordinating the sessions and for their selfless participation.
