Dear Rashi,
You have not given enough details; the word "Teacher" is very general. What age group students do they teach?
If you search the web you will find some good material at treating school students with dignity ppt - Google Search
Have a nice day.

Hi Rashi,

You have given a complex and challenging requirement. I have been associated with schools for a long time and i would like to give you some suggestions.

Fundamental Issues :: Things like Attitude, Accountability, Motivation depends on the environment created by the Management and the Principal. I have seen schools where the Principal actually chokes the freedom of the teachers, while in some places the Heads create a warm beautiful environment for the teachers and students to flourish and grow.

These are issues which are ongoing and are created by the atmosphere in the School.
THE WAY PRINCIPAL TREATS THE TEACHERS IS EXACTLY THE WAY TEACHERS WILL TREAT STUDENTS.

Coming to Training material. I would like to suggest some very good books i have come across>>
1. Positive Discipline by Jane Nelsen
2. Living, Loving, Learning by Leo Buscaglia
3. Discovery of a Child by Maria Montessori
4. Teachers Inspirational Handbook by Dr Elaine Charles

The last book is by Pauline Publications >> Pauline Books Media Cassettes VCDs ACDs
They have a lot of wonderful / inspirational books for teachers.
You can get a lot of training material / ideas from their books.

You will need to design your classes for the teachers based on the need/ problems / time schedule.
If you are anywhere in the NCR i can help you out.
Do let me know in case of any other issues.

Best wishes
