Through various interactive and innovative activities, she deliberated on some pertinent issues related to the latest pedagogy which included Inclusive Education, Classroom Management, Positive Criticism, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), MI (Multiple Intelligence), etc.
Principal, DPS Bokaro, A S Gangwar, said, “In the present scenario it becomes imperative for the teachers to identify the needs of the students and cater them accordingly.
