Teachers' professional development
Kiran Bhalodia, the Director of The Galaxy Education System, allowed us the opportunity to work with his spectacular teachers for five days of intensive professional development.
One example of his very forward thinking was his inclusion of a team of high school students who participated in the workshop with the teachers, and also participated in the planning of the curriculum units!
It was nothing less than a delightful experience to meet and work, and laugh and dine, and think and plan with these very lovely people!
Together we explored project-based learning, authentic and performance-based assessments, multiple literacies for the 21st century, the critical attributes of 21st century education. We spent two days focusing on Media Literacy as well.
Mr. Bhalodia is a truly gifted and visionary educator, and the work he has done with these schools is deserving of the highest level awards. Schools around the world would benefit from a closer look at what is happening in Rajkot!
We hope to have the opportunity to visit them again!
