Nowadays pre-schools, play schools and preparatory schools are mushrooming all over the cities, but the question is whether they have the adequately trained teaching force. The developmental years of any child are the beginning years where the teacher needs to be aware of the psychological needs of the young learners, and thereby educate them in the manner which is filled with activity and is inspired from practical life situations.
The pre-primary & primary classes play an enormous role of laying an unaltered foundation for further learning through a series of supervised experiences for young learners. It is often seen that the teachers have the willingness to teach young children, but don’t have the adequate skills to channelize their learning towards the holistic development of the child.
In this modern world of internet dominance and technological advancement, it is imperative that the elementary teachers have to come out of their age old cumbersome methods of teaching and learn skill based teaching that involves a lot of activity based learning and thus leads to the cognitive development of the mind of young learners, from elementary learning to formal education. The educators need to be equally smart along with the children to create a positive learning environment.
Our Young Learners’ Teacher Training program therefore, aims to eradicate that problem for the schools by imparting a course that helps the teachers to aim at the holistic development of a child. This course is particularly designed to train Pre- Primary and Primary teachers who cater to the age group of 2-13 years.
Our course-curriculum is developed by such educators and academicians who have years of experience in understanding and handling child psychology, classroom dynamics, etc., and thus they have prepared a course which meets the need specific demands of the job. Children learn by ‘doing’; and keeping that in mind we have infused the Montessori methodologies with modern education system and formulated our Young Learners' Teacher Training Program. The course specifically focuses on how to teach young learners through globally applied concepts of ‘Child Psychology and Behaviour’, as well as training teachers in the essential skills of ‘Classroom Management’ and ‘Effective Material Management’ – for the refinement of sensory perception, development of literacy, mathematical understanding, self expression, development of self confidence and intellectual independence of young students.
The various levels in our specially-designed course helps the teachers to not just learn the global methodologies of teaching that includes Nursery, Montessori, Kindergarten, Project Method, Thematic method etc., but also develops the skill-based areas so as to facilitate the learning and development of children in a congenial and positive environment. After all, shaping the new minds for the future is the sole responsibility of pre and primary teachers, and we at SSEC understand the need to deliver such facilitation to the teachers of this region.
