Saamarthya Teachers Training Academy of Research (STTAR), Ghaziabad, conducted an online session on ‘Digital Leadership and Learning’ in education by Eric Sheninger, a world-famous digital pioneer and bestselling author.
The session was held on Saturday, 29th January 2022, and was virtually attended by a large number of educators from schools and institutions from India, UAE, Qatar, and Bangladesh. During the two-hour session, Eric Sheninger explained in detail the seven pillars of digital leadership in education:
- Student engagement, learning and outcomes
- Learning environment
- Professional learning
- Communications
- Public Relations
- Branding
- Opportunity
Each pillar highlighted the potential for digital transformation in different aspects of today’s education ecosystem. Sheninger shared important actionable strategies that educators can implement right away to support and enhance current areas of professional practice through a digital lens.
Emphasising the importance of digital leadership and learning in the 21st century education, Sheninger said, “As the internet has evolved, we are in the midst of a period of time where technology is going to become more and more prevalent in the lives of students. And now we have the pandemic as well. What we are experiencing are two of the most disruptive forces that are providing us an opportunity to take a critical look at our practice and think about what we can do in our classrooms, in our schools, and in our countries to future-proof learning for our kids…When we think about digital leadership and learning, the idea is to improve learning outcomes first. We have to empower our kids to think, know, act and go. We have to digitally transform the learning environment.”
Sheninger propagated the mantra of ‘Working smarter and not harder’. He also highlighted how modern learners are using different digital tools to solve problems, develop better understanding and improve performance.
Among the key takeaways of the session was a detailed explication of the Rigour/Relevance Framework that Sheninger guided the educators to utilize for analysing instruction, pedagogy and student performance both with and without technology. Sheninger stressed on the three Rs: Rigour, Relevance and Relationship to foster better engagement and communication between all stakeholders in the education landscape.
“It all comes down to relationships. Without trust there is no relationship. Without relationships, no real learning occurs,” he said.
The digital pioneer also helped the attendees in developing an understanding of digital pedagogy and the keys to building teacher capacity. The educators also learned to identify the elements of personalized learning to improve school culture, measure effectiveness of their work with technology, develop an effective communication plan, use the power of storytelling and actively engage in personalized professional growth.
To add to these valuable insights, STTAR also shared with each attendee an exclusive access to six pre-recorded lectures on school leadership and ecosystem. Each attendee got useful resource material and a STTAR participation certificate.

As education institutes are ready to re-open as per the government guidelines, there is a higher risk of being exposed to the virus due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Mumbai. Thus, to ensure minimal threat (in case of exposure) and safer travels, the Rotaract Club and the NSS Unit of H. R. College of Commerce and Economics, decided to shoulder the responsibility of encouraging students and faculty to get vaccinated.
Witnessing the spike, Mumbai’s one of the prominent colleges under the HSNC Cluster University, observed the necessity to be fully vaccinated. For seamless operation, H. R. College conducted the vaccination in collaboration with Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in the college premises.
Commenting on this initiative Dr. Hemalata Bagla, Vice-Chancellor – HSNC University said, “This was attempted to move towards a COVID free India!” She supported this statement with Henry Ford’s quote, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”
This organized effort was undertaken on 21st January, 2022, where all the unvaccinated students, teachers and staff members were encouraged to take the shot. More than 100 people benefitted through this noble initiative!

IDP brings an opportunity for study-abroad aspirants to meet their dream institutions from the comfort of their homes.
Beyond globally-recognized education and learning, studying abroad gives an experience of a lifetime to students. It acts as a launchpad for many to help them build a global career. However, studying abroad is a big decision for students and their parents. They often require expert counseling and seek authentic information about their preferred institutions during the process.

Like last year, our focus will be to have maximum prestigious institutions participate in the fair and help students choose the right educational and career path.” “At IDP, we are committed to providing students with the best advice and top-quality assistance at every step of their international education journey”, Mr. Piyush Kumar added.
