Leadership

A facilitator addressing a hall of children and teachers

What changes in a classroom holds only when the school around it moves too. So we work with leadership as a journey of its own, in four parts. Each part can also be taken on its own.

The detailed page: Leadership: visioning, culture and impact.

With managementSet the direction

Visioning and goal setting

Two to four in-person sessions with management, principal, coordinators and heads. We align the school's vision with competency-driven pedagogy and assessment, agree what "working" looks like at six months and one year, and name the real constraints: timetable, resources, systems.

With the whole school and parentsBuild the culture

Mistake-friendly enabling culture

A classroom where a wrong answer is worth staying with needs a school that works the same way: observation and appraisal, staff meetings, timetable, what the school says about marks. Parents are part of it: one session on why their child is taught this way, and what changes on a report card.

With leadershipReview what changed

Impact tracking and review

Quarterly reviews with your leadership through the year, and a written end-of-year report: what was run, what changed in classrooms, what the baseline and endline assessment shows. Written for a management committee.

With the school officeBuild the systems

Teacher recruitment and onboarding

Competency-based tests and values-aligned interviews, so new teachers fit your pedagogy.

Admissions process redesign

Reasoning over recall, with observation-based tasks and children's work on show.

Teachers' mentoring

Illustration of two teachers in conversation

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

The detailed page: Teachers' mentoring.

With teachersExperience the pedagogy

Dialogue on Learning: CPD workshops

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.

With teachersKnow where to start

Teachers' PCK competency assessment

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.

With teachersGo deeper, chapter by chapter

Pedagogical mentoring and conceptual depth

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.

With teachersBring it into the classroom

In-Classroom Learning and Reflection

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. Each visit ends with a review with your leadership.

Curriculum aligned resources

Children working with Anubhooti books in class

Resources for classrooms where children observe, question and build the concept for themselves, K-12. Discovery-based and inquiry-driven, and at the same time curriculum-oriented.

Student experience

Children absorbed in a club activity

Children are naturally inquisitive. Clubs tap into that inquisitiveness outside the regular lesson, with themes explored from many perspectives and simple, easily available materials.

Student clubs

  • Possible themes: gardening, robotics, computational thinking and AI, maths and science tinkering, design thinking, paper explorations, kolams and rangolis, cooking, music, folktales, weather investigations, inquiry and research, creative reading and expression, and more
  • Run in your school, one afternoon at a time, hearts-on, heads-on and hands-on
  • Led by a facilitator who is not marking anything; teachers are welcome to observe

Talk to us about student clubs

Assessment strategies

A child's reasoning written out on a worksheet

Assessment that shifts the focus from evaluating knowledge to evaluating skills: what a child understands and can apply, not only what they can recall.

Four named components, taken together or separately, on one page: Competency-based assessment support.

Competency-based question bank

  • A chapter-wise bank of competency-based questions
  • Mapped to your syllabus and to the competencies each chapter is meant to build
  • Delivered through the Nurture app, so a teacher draws on it while planning

Question paper review

  • We read the question papers your teachers have already written and co-design the next set with them
  • Which questions test recall, which test application, and what the paper as a whole measures
  • Often the moment a school sees the gap for itself

Baseline and endline assessment

  • A student assessment at the start of the year and the same one at the end
  • For the grades that adopt the program, so the change is measured rather than asserted
  • Reported by competency and by grade, not as a single mark

Holistic Progress Card design

  • A progress card that reports what a child can do, in a form a parent can read
  • Fits your existing formative and summative cycle rather than running beside it

Learning spaces

Children using a floor maths game in a learning space

One way to develop the attitude of exploration is by creating an environment that encourages it. Every space we set up is curriculum-integrated and teacher-owned: design, materials, learning triggers, lesson plans, teacher training and follow-up visits come together.

Schools grow Learn2Learn over three to four years, scoped to their teacher numbers and grade bands. The full picture is on the Learn2Learn page.

"I can vouch for the immense changes that this team has brought, with their willingness to challenge traditional teaching and learning methods, and in the process have empowered both the teachers and the students. The technique of creating curiosity, questioning previously held beliefs and testing the accuracy of established truths through exciting but rigorous scientific and mathematical procedures has propelled both the teachers and students on a path of discovery."
