During the workshop, participants will delve into the process of planning the lesson of the day, acquiring valuable strategies for designing various elements of teaching and implementing or aligning the same in their existing pedagogy. They will learn how to apply innovative approaches to foster a more learning-driven classroom environment. Participants will discover how simple activities and demonstrations can be a powerful tool to facilitate learning and invite children to engage with concepts and topics from the curriculum.
