Dr. Reni Francis, Principal

  • Dr. Reni Francis has authored a book titled “Integrating Art in Learning,” which has been published by Notion Press. The integration of art into the learning process isn’t a novel concept; it has been an integral aspect of education since time immemorial. When a teacher hands a student a set of colored pencils to draw or paint, it’s not merely a way to keep them engaged, but it also serves as a valuable learning experience. Art serves multiple purposes, functioning as both a therapeutic outlet and a hobby. It breaks away from the mundane routine of rote memorization, encouraging a more imaginative and creative way of thinking. This approach is especially prominent in STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), where the integration of art has gained significance. In today’s classrooms, the emphasis is on fostering diverse and innovative thinking, and art serves as the canvas for these thoughts and creative expressions.
    The book “Integrating Art in Learning” aims to offer comprehensive lesson plans and activities that incorporate art seamlessly into the teaching and learning process.
  • Dr. Reni Francis has authored a book titled “Gender Equity and Equality Awareness,” published by Notion Press, with the ISBN 9798889599357. This handbook serves as a concept crafted to tackle the pressing societal issue of Gender Equity and Equality Awareness (GEEA). Often, discussions about gender matters are held discreetly in our society. Gender norms and stereotypes have become deeply ingrained, and the associated challenges continue to be either overlooked or suppressed. It is our collective responsibility to raise awareness about these issues within our society. The book “Gender Equity and Equality Awareness” strives to sensitize individuals to crucial and prevalent gender-related subjects.
  • On 31st October, 2022, Dr. Reni Francis authored the book titled “Being a Reflective Teacher,” which was published by Notion Press. The book can be identified by its ISBN 979888849576-6.
