Teachers' mentoring

Teachers can bring inquiry into their classrooms only once they have experienced it for themselves. So teachers' mentoring runs as a journey, in four parts. Each part can also be taken on its own.

With teachers

Experience the pedagogy

Day-long workshops where teachers experience inquiry and discovery as learners first, then discuss how to carry it into their classrooms. Subject-wise or whole staff, 4 to 12 workshops a year. The most common starting point.

What this includes: Dialogue on Learning CPD workshops · Topics agreed with your coordinators · Hands-on materials for every session · 1 to 2 days of classroom observation with written feedback · Classroom ideas teachers can use immediately

Talk to us about Dialogue on Learning

"I got an insight of how important it is to give time to students to answer the questions by provoking their curiosity. I also learnt the importance of allowing children to make mistakes. It was really helpful in sharpening our skills."

Mrs. Anithamahalakshmi, Math teacher, JGRVK School

Know where to start

A subject-by-subject picture of what your teachers know and can do, covering both halves of pedagogical content knowledge: the subject, and how children go wrong in it. Shows where each grade team is strong and where mentoring should start. Repeated at the end of the year, it also shows what changed. Schools also take the competency assessment on its own, outside Learn2Learn.

What this includes: Teachers' PCK competency assessment · Teacher pre-test, subject-wise · A school-wise readiness report for leadership · A recommended mentoring and workshop sequence built from the results · The same instrument at year end, with the change reported

Go deeper, chapter by chapter

Fortnightly subject and grade team meetings, every chapter discussed before it is taught: the concept at the teacher's own level first, then the misconceptions children bring to it, then the plan for the classroom.

What this includes: Pedagogical mentoring and conceptual depth · Fortnightly Maths and Science circles within working hours · A curriculum-aligned module for every chapter · Sessions targeted at the gaps the assessment found · Support between meetings, in person and over WhatsApp

Bring it into the classroom

Our facilitators observe classes in action and co-facilitate where it helps. Three facilitators with different subject expertise, four visits a year, five to six days a visit. Nothing is graded and nothing goes into an appraisal file. Each visit ends with a review with your leadership.

What this includes: In-Classroom Learning and Reflection · Detailed classroom observations with written suggestions · Reflection sessions with teachers after each observation · A leadership review at the end of every visit · Session logs

"My students had hands on but heads off. With this shift in approach, I have been able to run my classes in a more student-driven manner where I am truly facilitating learning rather than disseminating information."

Gowri Satya, Math Facilitator, Swapaksh Learning Center

All four parts come together as Learn2Learn, our comprehensive school partnership program.
