cause ,result )with many examples and taught about how negative brain could
overtake the positive brain.
Mr .Yeshey lhagyel briefed about six play based learning with examples

our own way 4)sensory play - feeling the toy, smell and taste fruits. 5)dramatic

Followed by that Mr.Yeshey Nidup and Mrs. Sonam Choden presented about play school
2.O. There were three type of play school. 1)experimential learning - learning by
doing
2) progressive learning - performing task,learning by doing and child centered
3) classroom management
We were taught about the founder of progressive learning( John Dewey) who was born
in 20th October,1859. We talked about principles, key features and characteristics
of progressive learning followed by questions. Mrs.sonam Choden taught us about
class room management and five principles (foster relationship,engaged learning,
quit ones, misbehaviour and rules). There was three steps to increase level of
engaged learning and learned about how to build foster relationship with students.
We were briefed about forest school and montesorrie. Montessori was founded by
maria Montessori.

Last day we learned about MI(multiple intelligence) which means to invest something
new, problem solving and critical thinking. MI was founded by Haward Gardener in
1983. The purpose of MI was to expand, to identify, to inspire, the development of
other individuals and to embrace. There are eight types of MI.They are 1)Musical-
music smart 2)bodily kinesthetic -body smart 3) interpersonal - people smart
4)verbal linguistic - word smart 5)logical - logic smart 6) naturalistic -nature
smart 7)intrapersonal - self smart 8) visual - picture smart

From this workshop progressive learning was the first thing that I LL keep in
mind. I LL ask them many questions ,let them think rather that relying on rote
memorization. I LL respect intellectual capacity of my students and use different
MI for them. I ll implement or use thought model while teaching my children. Forest
school was such an interesting idea so ,I am surely going to implement.
