Over the last quarter, we deepened our engagement with teachers through a series of structured training workshops, which have become a central pillar of our ECCE program implementation across ICDS centres, SSK schools, and private primary schools in Patharpratima.
A key milestone was the Teacher Training Workshop on November 18, which brought together pre-primary and primary teachers from private schools. The session introduced educators to the ECCE program’s philosophy and its relevance to everyday classroom practice through live demonstrations of age-appropriate, play-based activities.
For pre-primary teachers, the focus was on building early language readiness through songs, rhymes, storytelling, and movement-based learning.
For primary teachers, discussions centred on strengthening foundational literacy within more structured classroom environments. Across both groups, the workshop opened up space for reflection on making classrooms more joyful, inclusive, and effective.
Private primary school teachers shared that they already search for activity ideas on platforms like YouTube. Receiving structured, curriculum-aligned content through NRich-ECCE program would save time, bring consistency, and strengthen classroom delivery.
Two additional workshops were conducted
in December for ICDS teachers from two panchayats.
Teachers actively participated , showing strong interest and engagement throughout the sessions. Many were especially enthusiastic about receiving content through the WApp chatbot – a practical way to support day-to-day classroom planning and activity facilitation.
