Reflection Teaching in a time of crisis - being resilient, adaptable and

resourceful by Dr Paul Beedle and Andrew Field

Over and above the transition, where ed-tech is gradually refining the education scenario, Delhi
public school understands the need for a smart and robust educator training and assessment
program. There is a tremendous effort directed towards teacher training on exploring new and
effective teaching approaches and also online assessment tools.

The In- house training that was conducted by the Vice Principal Ms. M.F Shanti covered the
concepts of Assessment For Learning (AFL) and Meta Cognition which are at the heart of

Cambridge Teaching-Learning process.

The training helped the teachers to identify different types of cognitive learners, their learning
styles and the approaches that can be used with each of them. As AFL aims to ‘close the gap’
between a learner’s current situation and where they want to be in their learning and achievement,
teachers could plan tasks which would help the learners to do this.

“Austin’s butterfly” shared a few tips on building excellence in students work with a special focus
on critique and descriptive feedback. It was a food for thought for the teachers. Also, the teachers
as a team could come up with creative ideas on setting daily routines for the circle time.

The month of June culminated with the learners engrossing knowledge and skills which will
nurture the students holistically. The month fostered in the learners the enthusiasm and the spirit
of learning which would keep manifesting in the upcoming months!
