A Mindful, Memorable and Motivated Two Days in Mumbai

Jenny has just completed an exciting two-day training at Lodha Oakwood School in Mumbai.

She had an incredibly energising and vibrant experience, bringing circle time, games, puppets, and more to life for the delegates!

Here’s some of the wonderful feedback from the sessions…

I got the opportunity to attend the Schools That Care 2025 Mini-Conference hosted at Lodha Oakwood School, Mumbai in collaboration with The Teacher Foundation (TTF) and it was such an amazing experience led by the legend Jenny Mosley on the 11th and 12th of November. This was truly the highlight of my year 2025!

I am so grateful to JBCN International School, Oshiwara, our Principal Sir SJ T., and the Coordinators Moulee Goswami Shabistan Sayyad Suzanne Patel for choosing me to attend this conference and for giving me the chance to learn so much about the importance of nurturing social, emotional, and mental well-being for both teachers and learners.

I learned that Energisers are not just fun games or actions that bring joy and break the monotony in classrooms, but also help develop essential skills such as hand–eye coordination, concentration, and the engagement of mind and body in harmony, helping both teachers and learners stay fully present.

The panel discussion on Student Voice & Agency was equally powerful, showing how schools can create spaces where learners are not just heard but truly empowered to lead and act with confidence.

This experience has left me feeling energised, inspired, and eager to bring these learnings into my classroom to nurture a culture of wellbeing, positivity, and empowerment.

I was introduced to hashtagQualityCircleTime over two decades ago — and it’s been part of every school I’ve worked with since. A simple practice that builds hashtagempathy, hashtagtrust, and genuine hashtagconnection.

Attending the hashtagSchoolsThatCare Conference by The Teacher Foundation was truly special! The ever-energetic Jenny Mosley brought Circle Time to life with her infectious enthusiasm and deep wisdom — such a joy to learn from her in person.

A big shout out to Maya Menon and the The Teacher Foundation (TTF) team for curating a wonderful event filled with meaningful panel discussions, valuable insights, and rich networking.

Every conversation was a reminder of the urgent need to embed Social and Emotional Learning (hashtagSEL) into our hashtagschoolculture — not as an add-on, but as a core part of how we teach and connect.

Have you ever sat in a seminar where your thoughts, frustrations, and reflections as a teacher were echoed by others?
That sense of “Oh, it’s not just me!” — it’s incredibly validating.
I’ve often found myself thinking — “Didn’t I teach that already?”, “Why did that student make that choice?”, “Why am I still overthinking this weeks later?”*
At the recent The Teacher Foundation (TTF) workshop conducted by the phenomenal Jenny Mosley, all those swirling thoughts finally found direction.
Every moment with her was a solution in motion — not theory, but practical, joyful strategies for real classroom challenges.
At the most needed, wanted and appropriate moments, she had us up and moving — participating, playing, learning by doing.
It reminded me of what an effective lesson plan truly feels like: responsive, engaging, and purposeful.
Jenny ensured all five key skills — thinking, speaking, listening, looking, and concentrating — were woven seamlessly throughout every session.
I walked away inspired and re-energized.
A special mention to Lodha Oakwood School for being such an exemplary host and to have provided me with this opportunity to learn and grow.
The live demonstration with a batch of primary learners from Lodha Oakwood School was an absolute highlight — seeing Jenny Mosely model the session in real time was a true “Aha!” moment.
As Benjamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn.”
This workshop embodied that spirit in every sense. If you ever get a chance to attend a The Teacher Foundation (TTF) training or a Jenny Mosley session, don’t think twice. You’ll walk away not just with ideas — but with answers.

Day 2
Kindness ,Humour and Positivity.
I’m sure a majority of the teachers have heard 2 out of the 3 words mentioned in this era in almost all of the workshops. But we haven’t considered “Humour” to be that key element which makes a lesson plan work. Jenny Mosley shared with us an excellent Maslow hierarchy version with the needs and wants peaking at Fun. Fun became transcendental. Fun became the key. Fun, she demonstrated, is the need. Once again we got 5 steps, 5 skills, 5 strategies and 5 solutions.
This session kept circling around teacher well being, and one thought I formed for myself is “Do not binge, SPICE up everyday”
SPICE is a 5 aspect personal care plan taught to us by the energetic and enthusiastic Jenny Mosley. I would definitely recommend The Teacher Foundation (TTF) workshop and Jenny Mosely to discover this aspect for themselves.
The circle time demonstration with secondary learners was beautifully conducted and after Day 1 training, I was keenly analysing the 5 step process of QCT unfolding seamlessly.
A key take away from today’s session for me personally is, “point fingers” to celebrate people and their achievements.
I would like to thank Lodha Oakwood School for their participation in hosting this event.
A personal shout out to Rehana Nulwala, rashida lokhandwala and Ms Bakhita for being a great team during these 2 days of the workshop. It does make a difference to the experience when done in collaboration. So thank you ladies for being so gracious and warm and making this an enriching event.
