SCERT Nagaland, in collaboration with the Dream a Dream, has trained a 20-member State Resource Group to lead the rollout of Social-Emotional Learning in the state’s schools.
Kohima, November 29 (MExN): The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) Nagaland, in collaboration with the Dream a Dream, has trained a 20-member State Resource Group (SRG) to lead the rollout of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in the state’s schools.
The three-day training programme, held from November 25 to 27, brought together faculty from District Institutes of Education and Training (DIET).
According to a SCERT press release, the initiative aims to build a dedicated team of resource personnel who will subsequently train teachers and support the large-scale implementation of SEL across Nagaland.
The training focused on four key areas: developing self-awareness, creating supportive learning communities, contextualising SEL within local realities, and building a joyful, inclusive learning environment. Over the three days, participants engaged in experiential activities such as Big Ideas, Beautiful You, Theatre, River of Life, Rideshare, and Poetry Process, all aimed at deepening emotional awareness, empathy, creativity, and reflective thinking.
Resource persons from Dream a Dream facilitated the sessions, emphasising the role of SEL in improving student well-being, strengthening relationships in classrooms, and enhancing the overall learning experience. Officials from SCERT noted that the SRG training is a crucial step toward integrating SEL into teacher education and classroom practices.
The trained SRG members will play a key role in future phases of teacher training and in supporting schools during SEL rollout. The programme concluded with a session on contextualising SEL for Nagaland’s education system.
Dream a dream has been working closely with education system like Directorate of School Education, NBSE and SCERT since last three years in mainstream SEL into schools in the state.
