Chandigarh 21st November:- Teachers of Chandigarh benefited from 'Cambridge Professional Development Day', a highly interactive workshop conducted by Cambridge University Press. The workshop was lead by International Teacher Trainer Simon Lind, Professional Development Manager, Cambridge University Press, International Education.
Simon Lind, Professional Development Manager, Cambridge University Press, International Education said that by organising this series of workshops, we strive to introduce the key skill of critical thinking, which can be described as the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. Critical thinking is all about being an active learner rather than a passive recipient of information. We aim to encourage schools and teachers to adopt this new style of thinking which requires you to think critically and find answers to not just what, but how and why too.
Speaking on the initiative, Ratnesh Kumar Jha, Managing Director, Cambridge University Press, South Asia, said that Cambridge University Press has always aimed at introducing new and innovative ways to engage with teachers and students. The workshop with Simon Lind is aimed not only to empower teaching solutions, but also enhancing critical thinking.
Designed to help Schools and Teachers secure a lifetime of achievement from their pupils, the events provide quality, modern training and professional development that comes from Cambridge's tradition of excellence dating back to 1584. The teachers get a certificate from Cambridge University Press for attending the Cambridge University Press International Education Teacher Development Day, which culminates on 28th November 2015.
