Making Teaching - Learning Interesting - A workshop at Ahmedabad


CALORX TEACHERS’ UNIVERSITY
ANNOUNCES

Need of the workshop
Students show lack of interest in a subject since they do not see its relevance with life. Real learning happens when the teacher takes a back seat and becomes a guide for the student where he/she is given the freedom to explore the topic that is taught.
