On 17th October 2016, FDP Cell 2016 conducted a One-day FDP for teachers of the College on the theme “It’s all in your hands” with special emphasis on the theme of ‘self-motivation’. Around 40 teachers attended the said program conducted by Mr. Pravin Sabnis, an internationally certified trainer representing Unlearning Unlimited.
The program was participative, based on experiential leaning, sharing of analogies, reflective thinking and involving mind-games. The trainer discussed self-confrontational issues usually faced in teaching careers, motivational slumps that we need to work on in teaching profession, and the strategies to keep one-self continuously self-motivated.
The feedback analysis reveals that the participants have rated the program component as excellent / most effective in terms of benefits from the training, and on usefulness of the training in jobs handled by participants (avg. score of 4 on a scale of 1-5, each).
Principal Dr. (Mrs.) Prita Mallya welcomed the participants and emphasised that faculty development is critical to enhance teaching effectiveness and must be viewed as an ongoing need of educational institutions. The convener of FDP Cell Dr. Manoj Kamat introduced the trainer and proposed the vote of thanks.
