SIES | Institute Of Comprehensive Education

At SIES Institute of Comprehensive Education workshops are one of the most important learning methodologies adopted. Workshops aid in active participation of the students. It leads to not only understanding concepts but also aids in introspection, problem solving and perspective taking amongst the many more take-aways.

Workshops are always curated based on contemporary and specific needs of the society. They are planned in a comprehensive and complementary manner. For example,

Our counselling expertise helps us curate specific workshops related to child abuse or domestic violence or understanding depression. A trainee teacher or a special educator benefit from this. It helps them get a different perspective.
In the same manner, sessions on understanding learning disabilities helps counsellors and early years teachers.
Counselling students get an orientation and later understanding into creative artwork as the first step leading to an understanding of the value of music and movement and using them in therapy later on.
Puppetry which is considered as an important aspect of teacher training is also taught to students pursuing counselling and special education course. It helps them to use it for rapport building and developing self-awareness too!
