A combined FDP for both PUC and FGC was organized for two days, on 5th and 6th of Aug 2016, which was conducted by Dr. Shailaja Shastri, the Professor and Head of the Department, Psychology, Jain University. The two-days’ sessions were a collaboration of learning and fun-filled activities, followed by PPT presentation, puzzles, games and videos. Both FGC and PUC Principals along with the staff participated in the FDP. The FDP was indeed truly informative, didactic, invigorating, and entertaining for both FGC and PUC lecturers.
On the first day of FDP, at the outset, Dr. Shailaja Shastri detailed upon the topic of understanding Adolescent Behavioral Pattern and the drastic changes that have occurred in the new generation when compared to the older generation. She educated the lecturers about mistaken goals; namely, attention seeking, power seeking, revenge seeking and passive behavior of students and how to effectively manage them.
Followed by this, Dr. Shailaja Shastri spoke volumes about the challenges often faced by lecturers in mentoring and the different strategies to be adopted by them in dealing with similar issues. She also briefed upon the various developmental roles of a lecturer; as a coach, mentor, counselor , and teacher and the professional ethics to be maintained while playing such diverse roles. On the second day of FDP, Dr. Shailaja Shastri educated the lecturers on the various skills in mentoring and counseling; both generic skills and work-life balance skills. She listed out the forms of both active listening and non-listening skills. This was followed by suggestions on identifying non-verbal listening. She also threw more light on the topic of Empathy, the power of words, the art of giving feedback to parents, and work-life balance as the final topic for the day. The two days’ FDP concluded with Dr. Shailaja Shastri emphasizing on being aware of our mindset; thoughts, action, feelings, activating agent, beliefs and consequences and how to balance work and life in a constructive manner. Overall, the FDP had a good physical and psychological effect on all the lecturers.
