Education leadership workshop held in Madurai

The New Saraswati House (India) Pvt. Ltd., a leading educational publishing house in India, which is well known for student-friendly and pedagogically sound textbooks, conducted a workshop, “From Content to Competencies: Leading the Transformation Towards Future-Ready Learning,” in Madurai on Friday.

The workshop brought together school leaders to explore how curriculum content can be transformed into meaningful competencies and translated into real-world skills among students.

The new Sky High Curriculum Book was launched by Hamsa Priya, Academic Director, Mahatma Group of Schools, Madurai. The workshop was conducted by Sasikala Purushothaman, author and educationist.

The Sky High Curriculum Book is based on the New Education Policy, and it primarily caters to students from kindergarten to V standard, says Ms. Sasikala.

“At the workshop I focused on how this curriculum can be a perfect platform for a teacher to identify a student’s competence and then transform this into a skill-set that can be moulded into a value-based system. This curriculum focuses on a holistic approach that would provide the teacher with a methodology to assess the students and provide them with the necessary competence,” she added.

The workshop was attended by representatives from various schools and also primary coordinators. This interaction with the stakeholders would help support students and the teaching fraternity by providing innovative content, comprehensive teacher resources, and dependable assessment tools, said participants at the workshop.

With over 1200 active titles, The New Saraswati House, is focussed on building lasting relationships with students, educators and institutions. Books published by the company have been accepted by schools in the Middle East, Africa and other South Asian countries.
