Workshop on ‘Critical and Creative Thinking’ at Bhavan Vidyalaya, Panchkula

A two-day workshop on ‘Critical and Creative Thinking’ was hosted by the school under the aegis of the CBSE. A heterogeneous group of 60 teachers ranging from foundation, primary, middle and secondary wings attended the workshop. The aim of the workshop was to encourage innovation, analytical ability and creative thinking among students and teachers. SP Singh, faculty, Department of Life Science, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, and Professor Neevi A Kumar, Professor, Department of English, DAV College, Chandigarh, were the resource persons for the workshop. School Principal Gulshan Kaur extended a warm welcome to the guests and the attendees. Both the scholars conducted the workshop as resource persons nominated by the CBSE. During the workshop, the speakers highlighted that teachers are the architects of students’ lives. If a teacher’s thinking is creative and critical, he will provide the same direction to his students. Therefore, teachers should also adopt these qualities themselves so that they can lead the students towards a prosperous future. At the end of the workshop, Principal Gulshan Kaur expressed her gratitude to both speakers and teachers.
