Successfully Conducted CBSE Capacity Building Programme on “Educating Parents About Education”
It was a privilege and enriching experience to successfully conduct a CBSE Capacity Building Programme as a Certified CBSE Resource Person on the theme “Educating Parents About Education” on 22 August 2026 at Pavna International School, Hathras.
The programme focused on an important and timely question: As education is undergoing a paradigm shift, are parents sufficiently aware of what education means today and how they can become meaningful partners in their child’s learning journey?
The major modules and themes covered during the programme included:
🔹 Paradigm Shift in Education — moving from rote learning and marks-oriented education towards competency, creativity, critical thinking, experiential learning and holistic development.
🔹 NEP 2020 & NCF-SE 2023 — understanding the changing educational vision and translating policy into meaningful classroom and home practices.
🔹 Assessment Reforms — moving beyond marks towards competency-based, formative and holistic assessment, with emphasis on feedback, application and learning progress.
🔹 Know Your Child — understanding every learner’s unique strengths, interests, needs, potential and learning journey rather than focusing only on the “black dot” of weakness.
🔹 Career Counselling & Vocational Education — helping parents appreciate diverse pathways, skills, aptitude, interests, vocational exposure and informed career choices.
🔹 Parent Engagement & Partnership — transforming the role of parents from merely monitoring marks and homework to becoming informed, supportive and collaborative partners in education.
The programme incorporated interactive ice-breakers, sticky-note reflections, paradigm-shift gallery walk, case studies, role plays, the Black Dot activity, Potato–Egg–Coffee story, discussions, videos and action-planning activities, ensuring active participation and reflection among the teachers.
The central message of the programme was:
“The goal is not to make parents teachers; the goal is to make parents partners.”
When school, teacher and parent work together, the child receives a consistent message of learning, growth, confidence and lifelong development.
Grateful to the school leadership, participating teachers and everyone who contributed to making the programme interactive, reflective and meaningful.
