"Those who educate children well are more to be honoured than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well." -Aristotle

Great teachers create great students. Research shows that a student’s achievement is directly proportional to the inspiration and knowledge of teachers. In the absence of a well-informed teacher, however best an infrastructure the school provides, it will fail to bring the desired results.  Hence, training and supporting teachers, whether newly recruited or experienced, holds high significance.

Having recognised this significant element of teachers’ professional development, we at Good Luck, provide a range of well-designed and innovative teachers’ training programmes and workshops along with providing quality books.

Our workshops are based on extensive case studies built on classroom experiences. We share the best practices with teachers that allow them to apply their learning in a classroom.

Our training programs are packaged to create the best learning Ecosystem. Be it teachers, students, parents or management, we cater to the needs of all stakeholders. Our vast coverage of modules for the trainings include, but are not confined to

• Content Knowledge
• Balanced use of technology in education
• Creation of classroom environment that aims to develop critical thinking
• Time management  
• Behaviour management strategies
• Classroom management techniques
• Inculcating effective study skills in children
• Innovative and contemporary methods of teaching, etc.

Workshop at Pakiza School, Indore

We, at Good Luck, feel that the early childhood educators play an important role in a child’s development. They inspire young minds, expose them to the joys of learning, and give them the foundation for lifelong success.

The emotional, social and physical development of children, at an early age has a direct impact on their overall development at later ages. That is why understanding the need to invest in very young children is so important, so as to maximize their future well-being.

We ensure that during our sessions we discuss all such teaching methodologies which help teachers in providing guidance to students to reach their maximum potential.
