Carmel’s greatest asset is our staff. We strive to be excellent and train the best to be better. We believe that learning never stops, and professional development enables teachers to provide relevant and personalised course instructions for today’s students, transforming them into better and more qualified educators.
Teachers are always encouraged to participate, attend workshops and conferences related to their expertise, and complete any recognised, rigorous training programs to develop their competencies. Imparting training for upskilling and upgrading teachers is the most consistent practice at Carmel
Active learning methodology where high-quality training is through experiences and learning from experts to strengthen the platform for teachers and make it more effective. Emphasising the importance of building a collaborative culture amongst teachers to diagnose gaps in the teaching-learning process and develop critical thinkers and active learners was the core of this coaching.
This pandemic has led to a significant transition in the educational process. To cater to the needs of the present situation, Carmel organised various training programs for teachers using Google tools. The method of conducting online classes efficiently, regular assessments, and evaluations were of prime importance. The school management also sponsored the Google Certified Educator training for its Educators. Experienced and novice Carmel teachers confidently walk through the online doors with all the required digital modes, optimising learning by channelling students’ EQ and IQ.
Tata Class Edge – Virtual Engagement Mastery Program
Teachers are trained to be very effective with their offline and online engagement strategies. Tata class edge works closely with our staff, aiding them to use digital tools to bring the teacher and students as close to a real, in-classroom-like experience as possible.
Our staff’s physical and mental health and socio-emotional well-being are the management’s highest priority. Carmel hosts many seminars and workshops that dive into the various topics that concern our staff’s well-being. We also encourage a self-SWOT analysis for teachers and help them develop a positive classroom environment and set a happy teacher attitude.

Professional development is not complete without exposure to multicultural experiences. Every year, our teachers are taken on a day outing where team building activities / recreational activities take place, bringing the Carmel family together.
While the school arranges International trips at special Carmel packages for those interested in our teaching and non-teaching faculty, some places visited in the past are Bangkok, Dubai, Nepal, Uzbekistan, Bali, China, Cambodia, and Egypt.
Thus, ongoing Professional Development is a critical part of the teaching-learning process at Carmel. Teachers must learn to collaborate, innovate and reflect, and that’s where professional development comes to play, and the management creates ample opportunities for its staff
