What do we carry away from workshops?

It is observed many workshops are held worldwide, and every school plans to attend or arrange for teachers workshops or principals workshops in the field of education to learn something new, to remain connected with new developments.

Every workshop has a defined topic, defined objective, it has break for networking, but have we ever observed and analyzed how effectively we utilize our time and learning from the workshops. How many a times we cascade the information to our peers. We at AVAS has brought workshops for the teachers of the school, under one roof celebrating National Maths Week, every year at I.I.T , Delhi.

 The great resource persons with vast experience in their respective fields get connected under one  roof:

Dhall and Prof S.N. Chhibber.

The group of 50 students from various schools also attended this workshop followed by a presentation showcase by each student on “Any great Indian Mathematician”. It was planned to inculcate the self study skills, presentation skills and speaking skills in children.
