Peer Learning Session at SRCS: A Session in General English

Peer learning among faculty is also called Collaborative CPD. It’s the central requirement of the National Education Policy- 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework- 2023, as both documents emphasize that teacher quality is the most important factor in educational reform. NEP 2020 mandates that every teacher and head of school must participate in at least 50 hours of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) per year. The policy explicitly states that these hours should be driven by teacher interests and includes "collaborative and peer-supported" learning rather than just top-down workshops.

In its commitment to academic excellence and professional development, Shri Ram Centennial School recently organized an interactive session titled "Peer Learning in General English" on the 29th April 2026. The session, led by Mr. Maneesh Trivedi, focused on refining linguistic precision, eliminating common grammatical pitfalls, and enhancing the professional vocabulary of the teaching fraternity. Recognizing that educators serve as "living dictionaries" for students, the workshop provided practical strategies to elevate the standard of English communication across all grade levels.

The Highlights were Addressing "Indianisms”, Semantic Clarity, Mastering Subject-Verb Agreement etc.

The session emphasized a tiered approach to language acquisition:

1. Primary Years (Nursery-V): Emphasis on correct preposition usage and the gradual elimination of translated structures.

2. Middle and Senior Years (VI-XII): A shift toward formal academic structures and the mastery of nuanced grammar to prepare students for competitive and professional landscapes.

The "Peer Learning in General English" session was an enriching experience that underscored the importance of continuous self-correction and linguistic growth. By aligning our faculty’s communication with global standards, SRCS ensures that our students are mentored in an environment of linguistic accuracy and professional eloquence.

"As educators, we are the living templates of the language our students will inherit."
