September:- Chitkara
College of Education (CCE) welcomed the prospective teachers on the first day
of their journey to become the alpha teachers. CCE invited renowned and eminent
Indian film & theatre artist, Vikram Gokhle and Master Storyteller &
Curriculum designer, Ms. Simi Srivastava to conduct expert sessions on
Performing Arts. The prospective teachers were conditioned to use
Performing Arts as a classroom pedagogy-restructuring tool through highly
enriching and engaging sessions on “Bringing Theatre into Classroom” and "A
Sneak peek into the world of Storytelling”.
Theatre and Performing
Arts are powerful tools, which not only engage the creative side of
the brain, but 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 engage
students, iterated both the speakers while sharing the objective behind
conducting these sessions for prospective teachers. Vikram Gokhle and Ms. Srivastava also praised
Chitkara University for developing such a 'powerful &
revolutionary B.Ed. program which is in sync with the industry and caters
to the demands of the present generation’s learning style.
Addressing the new batch
of alpha teachers at the Orientation Program, Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Vice
Chancellor, Chitkara University enunciated that it is very important to keep
pace with latest educational trends and techniques when teaching the millennial
and digital natives. The students these days have very short attention span and
it becomes very
challenging for a teacher to conceive engaging lessons for these learners. For
sure, inclusion of Performing Arts in education provides learner with the
opportunity to engage their mind, body and emotions into a collaborative
expression. Our Pedagogy Maestros for the day Vikram Gokhle and Ms. Simi
Srivastava have beautifully depicted the same in their expert talk and
workshop.
