Janvi Chhatbar

With three years of in-school experience across K–12 settings in Ahmedabad, I bring together two closely connected roles: teaching psychology and supporting student wellbeing. I teach CBSE Senior Secondary Psychology, design Social-Emotional Learning programmes grounded in the CASEL framework, lead wellbeing-focused training for teachers, and work closely with students and parents on safeguarding, behaviour, and self-esteem. I would welcome the opportunity to bring this integrated approach to Ahmedabad International School.
