The Assessor Programme is a Professional Learning Certification for educators who care deeply about the quality of schools. Adhyayan Assessors play an important role in our flagship programme, the AQS Collaborative School Review. We collaborate with school leaders to conduct data-driven, stakeholder-inclusive self-reviews as we believe the first step in a school improvement journey is to identify where you are & prioritise the way forward. We travel to the remotest location and the smallest school as enthusiastically as to the best international schools in the country with the belief that every child is deserving of an exciting and engaging school. With deep respect for schools and their journeys, we aim to be critical friends and enablers in creating a good school for every child.

Joining us as an Adhyayan Assessor is a professional development opportunity, equipping you with the knowledge and skills that you can apply in the context of your own school, and supports your skill development as leaders and reflective practitioners. It also enables you to be a part of a community of passionate educators, teachers and school leaders who collaborate, share best practices, and support each other. Lastly, you may get the opportunity to work with us as an assessor in other schools across the country and be a part of their school improvement journeys. 

Sheetal Murudkar, Director of Schools at The Akanksha Foundation & a Lead Assessor at Adhyayan, began her journey with us over 10 years ago as a Founder-Leader of a partner school that Adhyayan reviewed. The feedback she received was rigorous and contextualised, which supported her in her school’s transformation journey and encouraged her to join our movement and support other schools too. 

Assessors have accompanied and joined Adhyayan through a myriad of ways – some joining us after their own school review, some motivated to be assessors first and then initiating the school review at their own school. One thing remains consistent though – being an assessor is a catalysing experience of transformation – of one’s school and of oneself.
