Testimonials
“The collaborative initiative between TISB Training
Academy and the teachers of DLF QEC Innovative
Schools has been extremely enriching and
informative. The quality of resource persons and
trainers reflect commitment and intellectual
abilities, coupled with technological skills.
During these five sessions a variety of trainings
have been conducted ranging from Happy classrooms,
collaborative learning, tech innovations. All of
them have encapsulated an interesting mix of
teaching learning.
It is important that trainings such as these should
take place, particularly as the New Education Policy
emphasizes teacher development.
I am convinced that trainers from the TISB Training
Academy (TTA) Bangalore will change the landscape of
educators who will create a learning nation.”
Dr. Ameeta Mulla Wattal, Chairperson & Executive Director, (Education, Innovations & Training), DLF Schools & Scholarship Programmes
“Teachers are the academic pillars on which stand
institutions, with the sole aim of moulding
successful human beings. The quality of education
inherently depends upon the quality of training
provided to the teaching faculty, enabling them to
merge the best experiences of the past and
innovative pedagogies of the present to envision the
future possibilities, which result in providing a
highly structured, inquisitive, fun filled and
practical learning environment in the classroom,
creating unique experiences for every child to
thrive.
The TISB Training Academy (TTA) incorporates the
global teacher training approach and the best of
value and tech-based training methodologies, which
enhances the capability of every teacher and boosts
their confidence to think outside the box, plan the
lessons better and experience the thrill of teaching
and learning.
Having been a part of intensive teacher training
courses in the UK and worked with several schools in
the international arena and in India, it gave me
great pleasure to experience a similar program
designed by TTA, which transformed our new batch of
teachers from various schools into the distinguished
members of the NPS family, exuding renewed
confidence in teaching and extra compassion towards
students from day one of this academic year.”
Mrs. Vijayashree Samuel, Principal, NPS Kudlu, Bangalore
“Attending the TISB Teacher Training workshop on
behaviour management in the classroom was a
game-changer for me. The comprehensive insights
provided a deep understanding of the dynamics of
student behaviour and equipped me with practical
strategies.
The workshop's structure was impressive, blending
theoretical frameworks with real-world scenarios.
The instructors demonstrated exceptional expertise,
sharing personal experiences that made the content
relatable. The workshop didn't just focus on
addressing issues; it empowered me to create a
positive learning environment. The strategies shared
were not only effective but adaptable to different
age groups and teaching styles. The interactive
nature of the workshop fostered a collaborative
learning atmosphere. Engaging discussions with
fellow educators allowed me to gain additional
perspectives and practical tips.
In conclusion, this workshop exceeded my
expectations. It not only improved my ability to
manage classroom behaviour effectively but also
revitalized my passion for teaching. I
wholeheartedly recommend this training to any
educator seeking a transformative experience in
refining their classroom management skills.”

“Coming from the IT corporate sector, I had no background of teaching. Switching careers and starting afresh is a challenge in itself. With an immense drive to teach, I stepped into TTA in search of the right direction and guidance for my chosen purpose. The entire 8 months of my TTA journey has been a wonderful one-of-a-kind experience, with lots of hard work, along with fun. Experienced and seasoned mentors trained and guided us on the various modules of teaching and learning, like, 21st century pedagogy, learning theories, classroom management, pastoral care, life skills and ICT. The highlight of the course was the internships at NPS schools, which gave me experiential learning of the teaching practices. TTA was the key to the door of opportunities for me. Along with immense knowledge and experience, I also got the opportunity to connect with mentors and made amazing friends who had matching mindsets, passions, sincerity, and honesty. This bond I would love to maintain throughout my life. Thank you TTA, for everything.”
