Dear Principals, Headmasters and Teachers,

Greeting from the Goa Jesuit Province and the Friends of Goa Jesuits!

Quite often good teachers wonder how to excite and motivate students to learn effectively and efficiently. Besides, we want our students to be actively engaged in learning, acquire abilities like learning-to-learn, be critical thinkers, learn social skills and in the process, have fun learning. While this looks like a tall order, let me assure you that there is a proven method to communicate ALL this. The approach is called COOPERATIVE LEARNING!

Cooperative learning has been used to teach courses in Statistics at MIT, post-graduate courses in Physiotherapy (University of Coventry, UK), and in the top schools of the world as in Finland (high standing in PISA).

Cooperative learning is a most adaptable method of teaching using “Structures’. All learning occurs in cooperative teams thus preparing students for the future of world of work (21st Century Skills, OECD).

For the past 12 years, Dr. Denzil Martins has been teaching Cooperative learning to university faculty (UGC recognised Refresher Courses), to B.Ed. teacher-trainees, College lecturers, School Headmasters, Kendriya Vidhyalaya teachers from all over India, high school teachers and even primary and pre-primary teachers. He has demonstrated how to use it to implement CCA in schools. Workshops have also been conducted by him in Delhi, Bhopal, Kerala, Mumbai and Goa.

The sheer versatility of cooperative learning has been proven across subjects and age-groups. It is a win-win situation for both teachers and students. Encourage your educators to join in and learn the techniques required to implement a proven student-centred approach to learning effectively. Kindly Register yourselves for a fruitful webinar.
