We had reported earlier that some of our faculty members were enrolled in the ‘Green Teacher‘ programme. A course facilitated by the Center for Environmental Education that focuses on orienting teachers towards Environmental Education and Education for Sustainable Development.
Having completed the course, our teachers Seema Joshi, Ravinder Kaur, and Deepa Shah have been working to integrate more environmental-centric material into classroom activities and projects, so as to instill in students a greater sense of understanding and responsibility towards their surroundings. The teachers have been working with different batches of students on various projects all revolving around the contemporary issues regarding our environment: Sustainable development, global warming and so on.
The CEE recently acknowledged and applauded the three teachers by awarding each of them a ‘Gold Certificate’ for their contributions to the cause. All of us at the school are extremely proud of the wonderful work these teachers have done, and as other faculty members enroll and continue to participate in the Green teacher programme this year, we hope they will all come out equally industrious and determined to make a difference!
