Teachers at Open Minds

The school is a learning organization involved in a continuing process of reflection, development and improvement. Research studies have proved time and again that the ‘teacher, plays a pivotal role in the process of teaching and learning’. At Birla Open Minds, the teacher plays the role of a caring facilitator working towards interpreting the needs of the child and the requirements of the curriculum in order to provide meaningful learning experiences.

To put it simply, the teacher’s role is to love, inspire and encourage children to believe in themselves and their dreams. A teacher in our school will be a knowledge navigator, facilitator and a mentor rather than a knowledge provider. The Birla Open Minds teacher is at the center of the entire experience, she/he is nurtured with opportunities of growth and learning.
