Kochi Business School recently hosted a Faculty Orientation Program. The session was led by Mr. Adarsh and the principal of KBS, Dr Bindhu Ann Thomas. The program aimed to strengthen the academic culture and enhance the teaching effectiveness of the College’s outstanding faculty members. The session was very insightful and brought together all faculty members to align with the teaching pedagogy, vision, and mission of one of the top MBA colleges in Kochi.
One of the core concepts of the session was how a teacher can make provisions for a quality education and a collaborative learning environment, thus support the holistic development of the students. KBS aspires to form a strong academic standing, and activities like this have been beneficial in providing uniform and creative teaching practices across departments. Mr. Adarsh and Dr. Bindhu Ann Thomas facilitated the session as speakers. They outlined the purposes of the orientations and changed our view of teaching as a process of transformation.
The orientation also emphasized the alignment of faculty goals with the institution’s mission and vision. As a premier institution offering business education, KBS stands for academic integrity, research-based teaching, and holistic development. Faculty members were encouraged to embrace these values and reflect them in their day-to-day teaching practices.
The Faculty Orientation Program at Kochi Business School was a timely and enriching experience for all attendees. The program was an opportunity to reaffirm KBS's core teaching principles, uncover new teaching tools, and build synergies amongst the faculties. Faculty at KBS appreciated the clarity, inspiration, and direction given by the program. At Kochi Business School, this demonstration of investment in faculty development is indicative of the organization's willingness to invest time in continuous improvement and quality. The faculty is ready to make a change in their teaching towards a more student-centered learner and team teaching approach.
