Turning Technology into Education
It is well established that teacher quality has a direct positive impact on student achievement. Teachers are increasingly expected to employ integrated technology practices in their classrooms to help students learn better. Therefore to enhance the quality of teaching and learning, trainings were given in designated units by Apple Certified Trainers.
In the process of becoming a recognised technical education centre with global perspective, the institution is committed to personal, social & intellectual growth emphasising a comprehensive educational programme leading to high academic standards. As part of ICT initiative, faculties have underwent our DPD course to improve their teaching skills in a digital environment and, in turn, boost student outcomes. They were trained to build digital lesson plans, create blended and flipped learning experience. Faculties were encouraged to try out new ideas in a supportive environment and gain fresh perspective on their own experiences of teaching and learning.
