The primary objective of the training was to sharpen the skills of Shiksha Mitras to derive innovative and creative teaching methods to improve the quality of education, so as to support academically lagging children to enhance their academic competencies. This training was targeted at Shiskha Mitras, who were already working to brush up their existing learning as well as to orient those who joined recently on the Special Learning Package.

During the training Mr. Shreepat Lal, a Headmaster of PS Tulsipura, appreciated team Prayatn for the untiring efforts for ensuring the quality of the support provided in the schools and facilitated a session on Lesson plan for the SMs on the final day.
The whole training was set in participatory mode including wide interactions, group discussions, group works, and creative activities etc. Sessions on the ABL (Activity Based Learning) methods and diverse use of Teaching Learning Materials have been the key attraction of the training.
