Faculty reflect on effective teaching through a micro-teaching session
Teachers learn through demonstration and dialogue at Apeejay School, Saket
A microteaching session at Apeejay School, Saket, brought together members of the teaching faculty for a focused exchange on classroom practices, lesson planning, and student engagement. The session was conducted by Ms Mamta from the Computer Department and Ms Sunita from the Pre-primary Department.
The exercise was planned to help teachers observe, reflect, and discuss teaching methods that can make learning more interactive and purposeful. It also gave the faculty an opportunity to look closely at how a well-structured lesson can support both clarity and participation in the classroom.
Focus on learner-centric teaching
During the session, both educators demonstrated lessons that were engaging and learner-centric. Their approach highlighted the need to place students at the centre of the teaching process, rather than treating them as passive listeners.
The sessions brought attention to clear learning objectives, effective classroom management, and the use of age-appropriate pedagogy. These elements are important because they help teachers create a classroom environment where students understand what they are learning and why it matters.
The thoughtful use of teaching-learning materials also stood out as an important part of the demonstration. Such materials can make concepts easier to understand, especially when they are used with care and linked closely to the lesson.
Learning through participation
Another key feature of the session was the emphasis on active student participation and experiential learning. The demonstrations showed how classroom activities can encourage children to think, respond, and engage with the topic in a more meaningful way.
What made the session valuable was not only the demonstration but also the discussion that followed. The faculty engaged in constructive feedback and collaborative reflection.
The session served as a reminder that teaching improves when educators continue to learn from one another. By observing different methods and reflecting on classroom needs, teachers can strengthen their practices and make learning more effective for students.
