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.
Birla Open Minds teachers are professionally trained and possess both the knowledge and the skill to positively impact a child’s learning outcome. The teachers make use of project-based learning, brainstorming, role-playing, interactive lab experiments and self and peer evaluation, to make learning more engaging and effective.
At Birla Open Minds International School, the management ensures that the teachers are abreast with the pedagogical changes in the education field. Teachers are also given opportunities to come-up to their highest potential and to the expectations of the management. The Teachers are given required trainings from time to time for the successful execution of academics and their personal development . Teachers with experience grow in all aspects and are considered for higher roles based on their potential and passion.
Workshops/Seminars
Teachers are given curriculum related, subject enhancement, latest teaching methodologies, self development, motivational trainings and many more based on the need of the hour, by industry experts, so that they are at par with the requirements of the 21st century skills and skills required for the Industrial Revolution 4.0
