Our work includes teacher training, curriculum assessment, and educational research. We have led initiatives such as the World Bank-funded NECTAR project in Nagaland and a collaboration with Barefoot to train assessors for AQS school reviews in low-cost private schools.
By connecting diverse expertise, TCLS drives innovation and ensures effective practices reach schools and education leaders across India and beyond.
The designated team of four Adhyayan facilitators passed the mandatory renewal test in April 2022 and March 2023 to continue being recognised as Khan Academy Certified trainers. We expanded our team with two new members, viz. Gomathi Srinivasan and Bishubha are certified too. Adhyayan facilitators conducted in-person and online training sessions for KGVB, JNV, UP, Maharashtra, and Punjab Government school teachers and mentors, as well as Kotak Education Foundation school leaders, from April 2022 to March 2023. In all of these sessions, the participants provided positive feedback and acclaimed the Adhyayan facilitators for their training delivery.
As a lead consortium member, Adhyayan Quality Education Services, along with three other organisations —YouthNet, Samarthya, and Adhyayan Quality Education Foundation —won the bid to partner with the Nagaland Government in the World Bank-supported NECTAR Project. Our partnership encompasses working governance, leadership, and structures for collaboration with the community and partnerships to achieve the vision of NECTAR and NEP 2020 for 2,000 schools. The work to be completed by 2025 will contribute to the creation of the State Education System for Nagaland.
The SEE Learning India chapter began in two locations, Mumbai and Pune, with a third location in Rajasthan. The main aim was to understand the SEEL in children in the primary years. In the Mumbai and Pune sites, training was provided to the teachers and school counsellors of Akanksha Schools. A baseline assessment was conducted by two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta and four support researchers from Adhyayan. Two case schools were identified, and in-depth studies were conducted. Class observations, interviews with both students and teachers and observations during the PLC meetings were recorded.
Under this research partnership, one of the research sites is schools with the Kshamtalay Foundation (Udaipur; Rajasthan). The research work at Kshamtalay commenced in July 2022 with a site visit to the schools. The schools at this research site are located in three blocks (Pindwara, Gogunda, and Kotra), which are tribal areas away from Udaipur city. The site visit at the beginning of the research helped me understand the site location, the challenges faced by the Kshamtalay fellows working there and how to design the research for this particular site. Training, data collection, and site visits were carried out.
Adhyayan provides the tools and processes to school leaders that helps them embed a data-driven, quality assurance system that involves all school stakeholders in the education ecosystem and improve the quality of leadership and learning in schools and other educational spaces
