Topic: COVID-19: Understanding the challenges and the solutions of the new world for education’s frontline workers.
Date: June 04, 2021
Time: 10 am- 1 pm
Post COVID, the challenges for teaching and learning outside the traditional classroom have risen, specaily for enviornment education and reconnecting with nature.
The need of the hour is to innovate and implement alternative educational system and assessment strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with an opportunity to pave the way for introducing digital learning. This pandemic has forced us (teachers) into a virtual world of teaching through different apps and devices.
But this virtual world has its challenges also. In this workshop we will discuss about those challenge faced day-to-day by our education’s frontline workers, our teachers and will try to find out its solutions too. We will also try to understand that how GOI and other state governments are trying to support teachers and educators (specially for enviornment education) to continue to provide quality education to overcome COVID-19 related school closures.
