Online Sessions – Study Skills & Debating

In light of recent developments, The Teachers Collective (optimistic as we are about face-to-face classes at some point, hopefully soon) will go online next week with Study Skills and Debating workshops.

It is an abbreviated 1 hour session, keeping the new format in perspective.

Study Skills

March 30th – April 3rd, 11 am to 12 noon, Rs. 2,000 for the week

Days 1 – 2 • Study Skills

Internationally proven study skills methods along with hands-on practice

Day 3  • Visual Note Taking/Making

Taking/making notes visually to enhance learning

Day 4  • Creative Writing

Day 5 • Informational writing

Our methods are hands-on and using textbooks that students use, activities and games to keep it fun and interesting.  We believe that children do when they are explicitly taught how to and this belief has been supported by evidence in our work, both in and out of the school system in India.

 

Debating

March 30th – April 3rd, 3 pm to 4 pm, Rs. 2,000 for the week

Day 1 • Introduction to Debating and structure of a debate

Day 2 • Setting up a strong argument

Day 3 • Identifying fallacies

Day 4 • Rebuttal

Day 5 • Practice activities and final debate

Our debating program is life-skill based and aimed at helping every child progress in their communication and real-life negotiations.  Participants will learn hands-on as well as through focused activities.

We work with children confident with public speaking as well as scaffold students who then get confident debating in public.  Debating is much more than public speaking; it requires research, thinking on one’s feet and using time appropriately to make strong, evidence-back arguments as a team.

Please register here.  We will send you an email with payment details as well as online logistics.

Looking forward to working with you all!
