Is the school as good as the teacher in the classroom?

Have you ever felt that choosing the right school for your child is a mammoth of a task? 

Parents consider different parameters:

•          Infrastructure

•          Library and reading programs

•          Curriculum

•          Discipline

•          International exposures and affiliations

•          School ethos and values

•          Resources and equipment

•          Surpassing teaching practices

•          Qualified teachers

Now imagine a school that meets all the above parameters except the last one— the teaching faculty. 

The teacher in the classroom may have access to the best facilities and resources, but all this becomes pointless if they lack the skills to use those efficiently. A teacher inspires, motivates, guides, and provides the students with the required impetus to excel in their chosen fields. Academics and co-curricular are definitely a focus, but a teacher is also instrumental in shaping them as a person.

Teachers are the backbone of the education system. However, teacher training is imperative to accomplish the set targets and help students touch soaring heights. Limiting teaching to textbooks is partial education. It becomes whole when teachers connect lessons with skills, learnings, agendas, moral and logical understandings; because a teacher’s actions and behaviour influence the students directly. 

We at NWS prioritise teacher training sessions over everything else to provide our students with world-class education packed with skills and learnings. With this notion, we have encouraged our teachers to partake in training sessions like CPDQ, Thinking Schools, and IEYC Training. These initiatives hold the highest regard and have helped our teachers acquire international certificates and future-appropriate classroom training. All the programs equipped the teachers with some of the best and most effective teaching skills, which proved beneficial in classrooms. 

Numerous factors come together into making an institute great. However, the people, the teachers, and the quality of interactions stand to be the most significant ones.
