Chandigarh 27th August:- Duniya re Duniya..Very Good Very
Good, Duniya Wale…Very Bad Very Bad!! The famous song from the famous movie,
Trimurti of a famous and decorated theatre Artist, Padma Shri Dr. Mohan Agashe
who is here at Chitkara University to alter the DNA of prospective teachers of
Chitkara College of Education. Dr. Mohan Agashe would enrich the prospective
teachers through a session on “Bringing Theatre into Classroom” at
Exploretorium, Chitkara University, Punjab.
During
a interaction with media Dr. Mohan Agashe said that theatre is a powerful tool.
Theatre and Performing Arts not only engage with the creative side of the
brain, they also provide an ideal balance in students’ patterns of
study. It’s easy for children to become swamped in a sea of theory, which
is why subjects that offer practical learning are essential to rejuvenate and
reengage students. Hence, he is here to address the future teachers of Chitkara
College of Education who are going to undergo a powerful B.Ed. program
developed by Chitkara University which is in sync with the industry and caters
to the demands of the present generation.
Dr.
Mohan Agashes’ session has been conceptualized to welcome the prospective
teachers who are going to pursue their Bachelors of Education program with
skills which would initiate the altering of their DNA to become alpha teachers
who are fully equipped to teach the digital generation.
Dr.
Madhu Chitkara, Vice Chancellor, Chitkara University, Punjab shared the vision
behind Dr. Mohan Agashes’ session and revamping of the B.Ed. curriculum, “After
thorough investigation and research, Chitkara University identified gaps in
teacher education programs prevalent worldwide and thereby developed various
modules of teacher education program which are more practical, meaningful and
job oriented. The Innovative and revolutionary teacher education program
offered by Chitkara University ensures a future teacher who is more digital,
informed, aware, employable, global, hands-on, researcher and student-friendly
in approach. Hence, this future teacher has been given the name “alpha teacher”
who is capable enough to teach and groom the millennial and the digital natives
born after 2003 and 2010.
