Through practical exercises and reflective discussions, educators will learn how SEL can be integrated into everyday teaching practices.
A Professional Learning Community (PLC) is a structured group of educators who collaborate regularly to improve teaching practices and student learning outcomes.
Unlike traditional one-time teacher training programs, PLCs promote continuous professional learning within schools through collaboration, reflection, and shared accountability.
Participants will learn how to:

- Conduct structured dialogue on classroom practices
- Analyze student learning outcomes collectively
- Develop peer-led professional development frameworks
The session also explores how PLCs align with NEP 2020 goals for continuous professional development and institutional learning cultures.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is one of the most critical competencies for educators in today’s classrooms.
This workshop focuses on helping teachers develop:
- Self-awareness and emotional regulation
- Empathy and interpersonal communication
- Positive classroom relationships
- Conflict resolution and stress management skills
Educators will explore tools and reflective exercises that help them better understand both their own emotions and the emotional needs of students.
