A comprehensive In-Service Training Programme for teachers was organised online by Army Public School, Chandimandir, from 24th May to 31st May 2021 where all the teachers were re-equipped with the necessary knowledge for their skill-enrichment. Many competent presentations were delivered by members from among the faculty itself on various insightful topics.

Developing Life Skills and Maintaining a Good Value System
Ms Neelam Pandey and Ms Rachna Bhardwaj delivered this session in which they highlighted the importance of good values and self-belief. By acquainting the students with the art of introspection, they are equipped with right attitudes and values required to develop a strong personality. As per the requirements of the NEP 2020, life skills too are crucial to a child’s ability to survive in this world and this new era requires new 21st century skills to be imparted to students. To cultivate these life skills, some basic elements like knowledge, self-awareness, clarity of mind, compassion, and curiosity are required to be developed among the students.

Restructuring Of APPS Curriculum
This session was conducted by Ms Manu Tomar and Ms Deepika Bhatia on the need for restructuring of the APPS (Army Pre Primary Schools) Curriculum and how to, productively, usher the change in. The aim of the restructuring of the curriculum of APPS, in accordance with the NEP, 2020 is to facilitate holistic development of the child and make a strong base in the early crucial years by promoting conceptual learning, activity based learning and inclusive education. This helps the students to make a smooth and seamless transition from UKG or pre-school 3 to Class 1.

Impact and Role of Mass Media During The Pandemic
In this session, the different ways in which mass media played different roles during the pandemic were discussed by Ms Manu Maya Limbu and Ms Rachna Kapur. Like any coin, it too, had two sides during the pandemic- both positive as well as negative. It helped in spreading awareness as well as panic. They also cautioned teachers not to spread any misinformation and to make their students aware of the same.


Emotional Well Being
The highly informative session, conducted by Ms Preeti Ahluwalia, was very helpful as it talked about the under-discussed topic of mental health. A happy student is more attentive and hence more eager to learn. As teachers, it is our duty to ensure the presence of a safe and secure classroom atmosphere favourable for physical, mental and emotional well being of the students.

To make one of the most feared subjects fun and enjoyable, should be the goal of teachers and shifting to a more practical approach can help in achieving it.

Artificial Intelligence
Ms Suman Singh (Principal) effectively explained this novel topic and urged teachers to open their minds to new technological advancements. AI, being the future, should not just be understood but also appropriately used in planning and executing our lessons. In addition to introducing AI as a new additional subject for students, its use must be normalised by integrating it with other subjects as well.

Magic of Science
This interactive and productive session, conducted by Mr Suresh Bhagat, Ms Vibha and Ms Harbani, was aimed at ways in which learning science can be turned into a joyous feat for the students.

Experiential Learning is a joyful, activity-based learning which involves integration with arts, sports etc hence making it an efficient method of education.

Preparation of IEP For Various Disabilities
Ms Ramandeep and Ms Shailja introduced this thought provoking session on Individualised Learning Programme and briefed everyone on how to cover all the learning aspects and cater to different needs of the child while making such a plan, with respect to various disabilities.
