Teacher Enrichment Session Organised at Innocent Hearts School under DISHA - an Initiative

Jalandhar, March 28, 2026: Innocent Hearts School organised a Teacher Enrichment Session under DISHA, an initiative of the Bowry Memorial Educational and Medical Trust, reaffirming its commitment to social development and quality education. The session was conducted by Dr. Palak Gupta Bowry, Director CSR, as part of an Orientation Drive for the Professional Development of Teachers, and was specially designed for mentors of the Foundational Stage (Balvatika to Grade II). Teachers from various branches, including Green Model Town, Loharan, Cantt.–Jandiala Road, Kapurthala Road, and Noorpur Road, actively participated in the programme.
Dr. Palak Gupta Bowry shared valuable insights on enhancing teaching practices, promoting child-centric learning, and strengthening classroom engagement. The initiative aimed to equip educators with innovative methodologies and practical strategies aligned with the evolving needs of early childhood education.
Aligned with the theme “Growing Together: Teachers Who Shape Hearts and Minds,” the session highlighted the crucial role of teachers in nurturing young learners while creating a positive and supportive classroom environment. Key discussions focused on managing personal stress, understanding the changing mindset of today’s generation, and the importance of not rushing children, as it may lead to anxiety and reduced confidence. The session also addressed how teachers may unknowingly transfer their fears to students.
She concluded with a powerful thought: “Confusion in a child is not a lack of ability, but a lack of clarity in teaching.” She emphasised that “Coming Together is a beginning.” The programme witnessed enthusiastic participation, with mentors actively engaging in discussions and interactive activities. A classroom-based scene further enriched the learning experience, encouraging teachers to adopt empathetic and reflective teaching approaches.
This initiative reflects DISHA’s ongoing commitment to enhancing educational standards and empowering teachers as key agents of change in society.
