Faculty

          We take our teaching seriously and believe that the most important aspect of a school is the quality of their faculty where a child is comfortable and having fun while learning, the child is able to grasp the subject much more efficiently. We make sure it is the right person for the right job at all times. Hence we employ a two-pronged approach to get best teachers for our students.

Our faculty is an Inspiration & Mentor to our learners. They encourage, engage, lead and motivate them to exercise curiosity and inquiry. They have been trained to specialize in teaching and counselling to act as a mentor and guide to provide emotional support to students when required. Our educators instil a quiet respect instead of fear among the learners, thereby developing a close bond with them. Our teacher student ratio is as low as 1:30 to ensure greater individual guidance

Professional Development for School Teachers-Teacher Training Programs

The world is changing and is more uncertain than ever before. We believe innovation is the key factor in evolving to an integrated and learner-centred teaching pedagogy.

As per NCF 2005 a teacher must become a facilitator of children’s learning in a manner that helps them to construct knowledge and meaning. At the same time, it is important for School to  provide possibilities for the teacher to participate in the construction of syllabi and teaching-learning materials. Such roles demand that teachers should be equipped with an adequate understanding of curriculum, subject-content and pedagogy.

A teacher needs to be constantly evolving, upgrading, adapting, engaging, imagining, creating and learning modern techniques. These are key resources in a knowledge-driven economy and, as educators, we realise that we must take up the mantle and educate for tomorrow.

Schools of JGI firmly believe in the continuous professional development of all its employees right from the leaders of its various schools that are spread across Pan India to their staff – whether teaching or non-teaching.

During Pandemic we had to adapt and evolve immediately in order to not hamper the —-continuous professional development that the network aims to provide to its members. The duration of the lockdown was invested in developing leaders and teachers to not only cope with the situation at hand but also to enhance their existing skills and systems through numerous virtual training programs.

Some of our Training Programmes are as follows:-

Subject Specific Training Programs

School Support Training Programs

Leadership Training for Principals

Skill Based Program conducted by CBSE

Pedagogical Training

Orientation Programme

An orientation Programme to begin with is given to teachers who have joined newly. Giving basic school information helps the new staff understand the school culture, its organisation and structure, school working, its goals and beliefs.

Teacher Training is generally based on:

Improving the general educational background of the trainee teachers;

Increasing their knowledge and understanding of the subjects;

Pedagogy and understanding of children and learning; and

The development of practical skills and competencies.

In our academic calendar, we have fixed days for training programs for teachers to upgrade their teaching skills. These include a wide range of activities including preparing evaluation & assessment frameworks, developing teaching and learning materials, growth as professional assessors and advancement of professional standards.

We have conducted a number of workshops that were facilitated by empanelled agencies of the CBSE.  These interactions act as a professional development tool for teachers to help them gain expertise, and be able to contribute proactively in imparting a higher quality education. It is conducted by a team of trained professionals and vastly experienced teacher trainers. These subject experts are well versed in child psychology and possess immense hands-on experience for subject-specific sessions, specific-evaluation techniques, and designing & assessing innovative formative assessments.

Our school has been a pioneer in facilitating these exclusive workshops for subject-specific methodology/pedagogy in Languages, Mathematics, Science and Social Sciences.
