Enjoyed designing and delivering a training session on presentation skills for early career researchers with backgrounds in science and engineering at GITAM Deemed University, Visakhapatnam. Wrapped off the session with a presentation contest for participants. The effective presentation of our work and the implications of our work - whether in the written or spoken form - is key to increasing awareness on a topic, building collaborations, obtaining grants, and disseminating ideas. A first step towards enhancing communication skills is to provide safe, supportive spaces for acquiring, practicing, and improving these skills. Thank you, iRISE - Inspiring India in Research, Innovation and STEM Education Programme and all the partners of the iRISE Programme, for the kind invitation to deliver a session on effective communication for the Early Career Researcher's Development Strand. Much gratitude to GITAM Deemed University, Visakhapatnam, for hosting the workshop and providing valuable support. And a big thank you to all the participants from various disciplines - pharmacy, chemistry, life sciences, environmental sciences, mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering - for participating actively, enthusiastically, and with a keen desire to learn. #presentationskills #communicationskills #earlycareerresearchers #training #STEM #workshop

Absolutely thrilled to begin facilitating UNESCO MGIEP's The Social Emotional Educator - a Primer course for a cohort of over 100 enthusiastic and curious teachers, educators, and other professionals in the education sector. As always, it is a pleasure to have Molly Ramlachan as a co-facilitator for the course. #socialemotionallearning #teachertraining #sdg4 #education #facilitation

As a trainer, educator, and designer of learning experiences, I'm always looking for science- and evidence-based ways to retain and increase learner engagement. Yesterday's webinar from the Learning Designers Community gave me new insights and validated some of my current practices in the design and delivery of educational content for the digital, hybrid and face-to-face modes. In "A Behavioural Science-Informed Blueprint to Design for Greater Learning Engagement," Sayem Mehmood and Alka Malhotra from UNICEF India introduced the topic and its relevance. Anushka Ashok from FinalMile Consulting shared key points in the blueprint and simple, relevant examples of applying these considerations to drive up learner engagement. I'm already looking forward to incorporating some of the takeaways (including ways of promoting agency and active learning) into my next project. And sharing them with collaborators. A big thank-you to the speakers! And much gratitude to The Learning Designers Community (LDC), Shraddha Rawat, and Parisha Jain for hosting the event! #LearningDesign #BehavioralScience #EdTech #LearnerEngagement #education

As a master trainer consultant with UNESCO MGIEP, I invite teachers, educators, instructional designers, and others who are interested in social emotional learning (SEL) to enroll in a facilitated cohort of the highly engaging online course, “The Social Emotional Educator - a Primer” by UNESCO MGIEP. This course will provide an introduction to social emotional learning (SEL) and its importance for educators and students, help participants acquire social and emotional competencies, and enable participants to learn about SEL practices to build better relationships with themselves, their students, and the community.
