Sacred Heart Convent International School recently hosted a Cambridge University Guided Orientation Programme on 5th July 2024, for English, Maths and Science teachers of the school, right from Primary to A levels. This insightful event, led by the esteemed educator, Ms. Achama Mathews, provided our educators with invaluable guidance on syllabus requirements and innovative teaching pedagogies. The orientation programme brought together teachers from various disciplines to enhance their understanding of the curriculum and improve their teaching strategies. Ms. Achama Mathews, a renowned educational expert, conducted an interactive session that was both informative and inspiring. Her session abounded in activity-based games and quizzes that were instrumental in keeping the staff captivated and curious.
She stressed upon the Curriculum Goals that require understanding the aims and objectives that drive the curriculum for primary and lower secondary levels. A significant focus of the programme was on innovative teaching strategies designed to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Through her session, Ms Matthews successfully brought to light the need to be familiar with the key documents available to the teachers while tackling the Cambridge syllabus. She mentioned how imperative it is for teachers to be intimately familiar and thorough with ‘Scheme of Work’ and ‘Curriculum Framework’ documents.
On the whole, the session was a comprehensive and an exhaustive deep dive into the needs and requirements of a Cambridge facilitator and Ms. Mathews was a wonderful source of imparting all the relevant information in an engaging manner.
