Teacher’s Capacity-Building Session on Gender and Adolescent Concerns

The school organised an insightful session for senior school teachers (Class IX–XII) on 23 August, 2025 in collaboration with the Pratisandhi Foundation. The discussion focused on gender, identity and the influence of gender norms on classroom interactions. Teachers reflected on unconscious biases, fostering positive masculinity, and creating safe, inclusive learning environments through non-shaming approaches. The session further guided teachers on recognising typical and concerning adolescent behaviours, responding with calmness, and ensuring compliance with POCSO. The importance of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in nurturing consent, equity, mental health, and life skills was also emphasised.
