Van Mahotsav is an annual tree-planting festival in India, celebrated in the first week of July every year. This movement was initiated in the year 1950 by India’s then Union Minister for Agriculture, Kulapati Dr. K.M. Munshi.

Van Mahotsav means ‘the festival of forest’ and this festival spreads the awareness among people and portrays the need of planting of trees, as all life directly or indirectly owes its existence to trees. This festival has gained immense national importance and every year, millions of saplings are planted all across India in observation of Van Mahotsav week.

Coming back after a long summer break was refreshing and commencing our schedules with a positive thinking workshop was more than a treat.  Such workshops, wherein everyone gets to probe within themselves and explore their mental and emotional make up are rare in today’s times.

This workshop explained the purpose of effective communication and inter-personal skills within the working of an institution. The session was initiated by the guest lecturer through an open house activity wherein all the teachers were requested to be at ease with them. She further elaborated on skills which help us to- attend to relationships, balance priorities versus demands, 'wants' and 'needs', with respect to child psychology and overall build a sense of mastery and self-respect. Understanding our minds better, managing our thoughts, relationship between the educator and the pupil were few areas which were explored and engrained in this session.  The workshop was successful in motivating each teacher to understand, empathize with and treat each student as a distinct personality with specific personality traits.

SGS organized a workshop on ‘Brain Based Learning’ in association with HT. It focused on how methods like Problem-based learning (PBL) can be used to enhance the learning experience for students. It emphasized how students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material. The PBL process does not focus on problem solving with a defined solution, but it allows for the development of other desirable skills and attributes. The process allows learners to develop skills like critical appraisal, literature retrieval and ongoing learning within a team environment. The process involves clarifying terms, defining the problem, brainstorming, structuring and hypothesis, learning objectives, independent study and synthesis. In short, it is identifying what they already know, what they need to know, and how and where to access new information that may lead to the resolution of the problem. The role of the teacher was stressed as he/she needs to facilitate learning by supporting, guiding, and monitoring the learning process. This build students' confidence when addressing problems, while also expanding their understanding.

Learning is a never ending process and we start to learn and experience even before we enter this world. And when we are in a profession which is directly related to touching upon lives of the future generations, we as teachers are in constant urge of learning and upskilling ourselves.
