Teachers’ training in collaboration with State Resource Centre, Government of West Bengal
We regularly organise in-house Teachers’ Training Programmes for our educators in collaboration with the State Resource Centre, Government of West Bengal. These sessions are designed to strengthen teaching skills, enhance classroom practices, and introduce innovative learning approaches that benefit children from underserved communities.
The training focuses on child-friendly teaching methods, activity-based learning, effective classroom management, and understanding the needs of diverse learners. By building the capacity of our teachers, we aim to improve learning outcomes, create more engaging classrooms, and support the holistic development of every child.
This collaboration ensures our teachers remain updated, motivated, and well-equipped to guide and support each child’s educational journey.
Training and Continuing Professional Development with teachers from Derbyshire, UK
Since 2016, groups from Derbyshire – including headteachers, class teachers, classroom assistants, and retired teachers from primary schools have made regular visits to Kolkata to deliver a programme of ‘continuing professional development’.
Training delivered by the teams from Derbyshire has focused on demonstrating methods for teaching phonics and mathematics in simple, fun and effective ways. The visitors have brought suitcases full of teaching resources and held multi-day training workshops to demonstrate different teaching methods, followed up by live demonstrations at the education centres around the city.
Through these visits, strong links have developed between particular Derbyshire schools and CRS education centres. Children in the UK have learned about life and culture in India, and enthusiastically raised funds for their adopted schools in Kolkata.
