The CBSE held a workshop om the ‘National Curriculum Framework: Foundation Stage,’ alongside Oxford University Press (OUP) on October 4, 2023, at COE Delhi (East). The main aim of the workshop was to provide educators with time-sensitive and cost-effective activity-based practices that can be easily integrated into their classrooms. The workshop was led by noted resource person, Ms Sonia Relia, who sought to empower teachers with cutting-edge tools and strategies.
The workshop was lively and engaging, highlighting the value of activity-based learning, especially in early school. It explored the idea of "Panchakosha Vikas," which highlights the five stages of a child's development, including the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual phases of growth. The programme highlighted how educational activities should be in line with these developmental phases and offered insightful information on how to foster competencies through interesting activities like problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and social interaction.
The practical aspect of this workshop was what distinguished it. Ms Akanksha Budhiraja was one of our teachers who actively participated in the practical exercises including "Paper Crush Ball," "Greetings," and "Pocket Train." These exercises not only introduced a fun factor but also provided real-world illustrations of how interactive exercises can dramatically improve learning.
The National Curriculum Framework Foundation Stage workshop was a resounding success. It urged instructors to move beyond conventional teaching approaches in favour of a dynamic, child-centred approach to education while also providing the them with necessary tools and information.
