KEY ASPECTS OF THE CPD PROGRAM
Course Content
Our well-researched courses combine theory and practice, offering an engaging learning experience. Participants benefit from essential readings, audio-video resources, reflective questions, self-assessment tasks, assignments, quizzes, and interactive activities, ensuring a comprehensive approach to learning.
Ongoing Support through Mentors and Peers
Our courses offer mentoring support, varying from full to partial depending on the design. Mentors create a favourable learning environment, facilitate learning, assess participant performance, and provide crucial feedback and support. Some of our course alumni also serve as mentors in specific courses.
Collaborative Learning
Our CPD programs foster collaborative learning, where participants learn from each other through sharing, discussion, reflection, and questioning. We create learning groups and provide platforms and opportunities to the learners to interact and clarify their doubts. This is done through online conference calls, meetings, discussion forums, and WhatsApp/Telegram groups.
Flexible Course Options for Teachers
Sessions are delivered through a combination of online and in-person components that teachers can choose and customise to suit their needs.The programs are designed with varying duration to suit teachers-ranging from 1 year and 3 months to 1 year- 1 month, as well as shorter, bite sized courses.
CPD for Teachers
We also design a comprehensive CPD program for teachers, which includes training workshops, short blended courses, monthly peer learning meetings, mentor visits with feedback, teacher Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), and WhatsApp-based bite-sized resources.
All the courses are implemented in collaboration with the State Government (SSA, SCERT, or DIETs).
We use different platforms for hosting these courses, Moodle based Learning Management System (LMS), state DIKSHA platform, UNICEFs Unilearn platform and WhatsApp.
