Quality Circle Time Workshop in Chennai

As part of our rich and varied services for schools, heads and teachers, The Teacher Foundation vision is to make schools enabling environments for all students! We care deeply about what students feel about school and the lasting learning experiences they have at school. Indisputably, schools must be happy places for all students! But only happy, enthusiastic teachers lead to happy students. For this we all have to work concertedly at making schools more caring and sensitive towards all their stakeholders.

The highly popular Whole School Quality Circle Time model developed by Jenny Mosley, is a holistic, highly effective approach to meet the social and emotional learning needs of children and adults in schools. The Teacher Foundation (TTF) is the sole accredited training provider in India for Jenny Mosley Consultancies, UK. TTF has trained several thousand teachers across India on QCT approach.

The training on Whole School Quality Circle Time (QCT) is an approach that is inclusive, positive, caring and assertive so that students and staff experience success in school. Participants will understand the ethos of the Whole School Quality Circle Time Model – to promote positive behaviour and respectful relationships in their schools.
