Career Guidance with Dr PC Biaksiama

Our first visitor of 2018 was none other than Dr PC Biaksiama who came today to give a seminar about career guidance.

He was able to bring an engaging and beneficial message drawing from his illustrious career in the Police and Civil Service, as well as his rich academic experiences and biblical insights following the ten years he spent single-handedly translating the King James Bible into Mizo. He encouraged the students to identify their talents and seek to use their talents whole-heartedly for the benefit of the Mizo society, people and economy.

Phonics Workshop for Teachers from Goodwill English Academy, Serchhip

On 13 and 14 December 2016, we were visited by four teachers from Goodwill English Academy in Serchhip. All of them are confined teachers from KGI to Class II who are keen to improve their quality of English instruction. They came to find out about how Divine Intervention School has been newly incorporating phonics since August this year. After just three or four months we have seen vast improvements both in the teaching and the quality of spoken English among the children.

Dr. Joanna gave a two-day workshop to these teachers, introducing them to the concept of phonics and then equipping them with ideas and resources with which to teach their children in Serchhip. Highlights of the materials include Jolly Phonics songs and the Oxford Reading Circle series of books which is tailored to the Indian context. We wish our friends all the very best!
