Meaningful Professional Development Moments

LUMEN
By Ms Madhu Sakhrani

At SJI, our commitment to placing students at the heart of all we do drives our efforts to keep teaching relevant, responsive, and future-focused. In line with the school’ s theme of Celebrating Growth & Shaping Possibilities Together, we continue to invest in meaningful professional development for our teachers, ensuring they remain inspired, well-equipped, and connected to the latest educational thinking.

Professional Development Launch
On 16 April, the Professional Development( PD) team launched the year’ s programme with a refreshing departure from conventional formats. Embracing the spirit of Open Space Technology( OST) meetings, the session fostered a vibrant marketplace of ideas where teachers from across academies and departments could engage organically, share experiences, and explore collaborative possibilities.
The dynamic, interest-led format encouraged cross-disciplinary conversations and sparked new initiatives, all with the common goal of enhancing student learning and experience. The energy in the hall was unmistakable, as educators connected meaningfully, united by a shared purpose to better serve our students.
The examples here offer a glimpse into the vibrant learning culture among our staff and how it ultimately benefits every SJI student.
