Teachers Training Program at Sathya Sai Grama, 7th June 2024
Empowering Educators: Nurturing Values, Enhancing Teaching, Fostering Concentration
If education is meant for social change, then reorientation of teacher education is paramount.
In tune with this, Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust embarked on one of its noble initiatives, “A Teacher’s Training Session” at Sathya Sai Grama Muddenahalli on June 7, 2024.
Educators from over a hundred schools convened to engage in this initiative. Each of these schools was represented by a principal or a teacher.
The teachers are already a part of our morning nutrition program where “SaiSure Ragi Multi Nutrient Health Mix” is combined with the Government sponsored milk to enrich the value & long-term benefits reaching the children.
The event commenced with a warm welcome by Mr. Praveen. There was a brief video providing insights into the various projects conducted by The Annapoorna Trust in the areas of education, healthcare, and nutrition.
Transcendental Meditation Program
The opening session for the day was by esteemed trainers Dr.Rajesh Naithani, Pro Vice Chancellor of Himalayiya University, Dehradun, and Ms. Shruthi on, “Strategies of Fostering Concentration in Children” which was valuable for the educators.
They enlightened the teachers with a simple, yet effective technique called “Transcendental Meditation Program (TMP)” which is a form of silent meditation. Children often struggle with concentration for various reasons. By recognizing this, a detailed explanation was given on how TMP as a tool when implemented in the teaching environment would improve concentration, which is the gateway for effective learning in children.
