Key Highlights:

Our two-day residential training program was held at GD Goenka University Sohna Campus on 24th and 25th June, 2025 for our Principals, Coordinators and Teachers of all our GD Goenka La Petite schools. The session was carefully designed to empower our teachers with creative teaching practices while focusing on their professional growth.
25th June, 2025
a. From Remember to Create inspired by Bloom's Taxonomy
The session introduced preschool teachers to Bloom’s Taxonomy, a framework for organizing learning objectives by levels of thinking- from simple to advanced higher-order skills like creating and evaluating. The session focused on adapting Bloom’s Taxonomy to the early childhood context, helping teachers design age-appropriate activities that promote critical thinking and problem-solving.
b. A session at Le Cordon Bleu, School of Hospitality, at G D Goenka University
This hands-on culinary workshop conducted at Le Corden Bleu introduced our teachers to a variety of fresh, healthy, and easy-to-make ‘Jamun Shots and Green Apple Pie recipe’ ideal for school or home settings.
24th June, 2025
a. Quality Circle Time
This training focused on the importance of Quality Circle Time as a key part of preschool daily routines. Teachers learned how to create engaging, inclusive, and meaningful circle time sessions that promote language development, social skills, and active participation among young children.
b. Integrated multiple learning styles
The training session introduced Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences and stressed the value of supporting varied learning styles in early childhood education. Participants examined the eight intelligences—linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic—and reflected on how these intelligences may emerge in young learners.
We organised a session on Story Weaving / Creating Comic Strips using IT Tools by Ms.Raksha, Head of Department of Computer Science G D Goenka Public School, Vasant Kunj. Through the session our teachers learnt to create engaging stories and turn them into vibrant comic strips using IT tools. The workshop was especially designed for early childhood educators to enable them in using simple, creative digital platforms to enhance storytelling and literacy development in their classrooms.
The Team at Head Office at GD Goenka La Petite schools, takes pride in training their teachers periodically through a program called Teacher Tribe.
Thank you, team for taking the first training of the year forward at GD Goenka La Petite Dwarka Sec 17.
