3Di School Success at DPS Secunderabad experienced first-hand by Kiwi Craig Hansen

Jan. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- DPS Secunderabad, part of the Delhi Public School family, is one of nearly 140 schools operating both in and outside Indian territories. Craig Hansen, the Academic Director of the growing 3Di School movement, recently met Dr. Mrs. T. Sudha the renown Principal of DPS Secunderabad while conducting a tour of the expansive grounds and facilities where the 3Di School Programme is successfully operating.

With an enrolment of over 4000 students, the DPS Secunderabad management is regularly seeking ways to innovate and provide enhanced learning outcomes for their children.
With the DPS Society’s vision of ‘fostering character building & nurturing the inquisitive spirit of children’, 3Di School provides an excellent fit with its innovative teaching practices, development of creativity and use of new technologies.

“3Di School has a focus on providing professional development to motivated teachers, encouraging the use of creative practices in classrooms and releasing inquiring minds. It is an honour to sit with Dr. Mrs. T. Sudha and discuss in person her views of schooling, innovation and professional development. She is a recognised leader in Indian education and we found much in common to discuss,” says Craig Hansen.

In India for a jam-packed three weeks, Mr Hansen toured many states, numerous schools and spoke at length with educational leaders about professional development, the 3Di School Programme and the most effective ways to prepare graduates for work in the creative industries.

From establishing schools and professional development programmes for the New Zealand ministry of Education to the vast educational landscape of India has been an exciting move for Mr Hansen as he leads the 3Di School Programme to burgeoning success,  “It certainly felt like I was on a plane every day and in a different city each night. It was wonderful to see the 3Di School Programme having so much success in highly-regarded schools and the demand from teachers and school management for professional development. I look forward to coming back and establishing the training programme we have developed to meet the needs of teaching professionals.”
