Teachers' training facilitation experience by Resource persons of Azim Premji Foundation:

'Any training and facilitation should not be a one-shot engagement, even if it is spread over two weeks may not be enough to change the beliefs of all teachers. We need to present the same ideas in multiple forms to strengthen the understanding so that it translates into teachers’ practice'.

'We need to have an effective planning if the training is done online. Only voice could create boredom in the listeners on an online trainings. Participants may lose interest if there is only one facilitator, so it is better to involve two or three people to facilitate the session. And also include interaction among participants with few videos and activities.

One of the most important elements in any teacher professional development program is student learning. Teachers must be made to think and deliberate around it. For this to happen, we should consciously include classroom scenarios in the beginning and make teachers think about their own students. This will help teachers to connect theory to practice in an effective way.

Mathematics has always been considered abstract, but it is not and hence, the need for concrete activities is more particularly in early years. Below we are sharing an article published by Azim Premji Foundation Puducherry, who have facilitated a maths teacher training program. This article will give you an insight on teachers training planning and facilitation.

Seven key differences between Parenting in India and Dutch:

- A Dutch mother, Ivana, recently shared her experiences living in Mumbai for nine years, highlighting seven key differences between parenting in India. She emphasises that neither approach is "better" or "worse," but rather they involve different trade-offs. Key Differences in Parenting: According to her viral reflections on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWJv7RLDM-z/), the primary contrasts include: * Community vs. Solo Marathon: In the Netherlands, parenting often feels like a "solo marathon".

The Secret to Lifelong Genius: Understanding Fluid vs. Crystallized Intelligence:

The Science of Lifelong Intelligence: Fluid vs. Crystallized The Science of Lifelong Intelligence: Fluid vs. Crystallized Why is it that a 20-year-old can master a new app in minutes, yet a 60-year-old is often the one you turn to for a complex business strategy or a nuanced historical perspective? The answer lies in a foundational psychological theory proposed by Raymond Cattell in the 1960s (Cattell, 1963). He discovered that human intelligence isn't just one single "score"; rather, it is divided into two distinct systems: Fluid Intelligence (Gf) and Crystallized Intelligence (Gc) (Cattell, 1971). 1. Fluid Intelligence (Gf): The "Engine" Think of Fluid Intelligence as your brain's raw processing power. It is the capacity to think logically and solve problems in entirely novel situations, independent of what you’ve learned in school (Simply Psychology, 2024). The Mecha...
