Educational resource repository

An introduction to the education resource repository With governments across the country tentatively beginning to reopen schools it is very important for us to look at ways of supporting teachers and school administrators to resume teaching- learning practices. In the current context, children are coming back to school after a very abnormal disruption, and in many cases after major disruptions in their lives. While there are many aspects of this school reopening that would be like the annual reopening after vacations, there are some very crucial ways in which it would be different. Additional resources and tools are needed for responding to this requirement – for teachers, students, parents and school administrators. These resources also need to be flexible and allow for the school system to respond to the immediate requirement as well as for responding to any further school disruptions/ changes . While teachers are expected to create and use resources to respond to the situation, they have not had any special preparation to do so. The repository is intended to be a participatory, supportive space for meeting this need. [More]

We need to develop resources a sequence of lessons for the core areas of school mathematics - focusing on Classes 1-6. [Read more...]

Environmental Studies and Ecology This is an opportunity for us to re-imagine the way learning happens in schools, focusing on a more integrative approach.
