Sacred Heart Convent School, Sri Ganganagar had the privilege of hosting a two-day CBSE Capacity Building Programme (CBP) for teachers on the significant themes of Stress Management and Life Skills. The programme was designed to equip educators with practical strategies and meaningful insights to manage the demands of their professional and personal lives while nurturing essential life skills for themselves and their students.
The enriching sessions were facilitated by Ms. Shweta Gill, Principal, MRM School, Sri Ganganagar, who conducted the sessions on Stress Management, and Mr. Anil Kumar, Vice Principal, MRM School, Sri Ganganagar and Dr. Anupama Ahuja, Principal, Tiny Tots School, Sri Ganganagar who facilitated the sessions on Life Skills. The resource persons brought considerable expertise, enthusiasm and practical understanding to the programme, making the sessions highly interactive and engaging.
The two-day CBP went far beyond conventional lecture-based learning. It was thoughtfully interspersed with interactive exercises, role plays, group activities, discussions, reflections and fun-filled learning experiences. These activities encouraged teachers to look at everyday situations from different perspectives, recognise sources of stress, explore effective coping mechanisms and reflect on the importance of emotional balance, communication, empathy, resilience and positive thinking.
The sessions created an atmosphere where learning and enjoyment went hand in hand. Teachers participated with great energy, enthusiasm and wholehearted involvement, making the programme a vibrant and memorable learning experience. The activities not only enhanced understanding but also encouraged participants to introspect, collaborate and learn from one another.
The CBP proved to be both informative and insightful, offering practical takeaways that teachers can incorporate into their classrooms as well as their daily lives. The sessions reinforced the understanding that a teacher’s well-being and life skills play an important role in creating a positive, supportive and emotionally healthy learning environment for students.
The two-day programme concluded on a highly positive note, leaving the teachers enriched with new perspectives, practical strategies and renewed enthusiasm. It was indeed a valuable opportunity for professional development, reflection and joyful learning, reaffirming the importance of continuous capacity building in the teaching profession.
