CBSE Introduces Free Online Course To Train Teachers On Storytelling As Pedagogy

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced a free online training programme on 'Storytelling as Pedagogy'. According to the council, the programme will consist of one webinar, course material, and evaluation and will be delivered online in many languages.

The CBSE stated that in a varied country like India, where classrooms are packed with children from various cultural backgrounds, storytelling can serve in accomplishing the goal of having inclusive classrooms.

'It is important to have inclusive classrooms, to foster empathy in the classroom, and to enable children to achieve universal understanding via the unique experiences of other students and the community at large. Stories may serve this purpose because they open the mind and prepare the hearer to take in new information,' the CBSE stated.

Between June 14 and 29, 2021, the webinars will take place in five languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Bangla, and Punjabi.
