Stories from the classrooms
Inside a classroom – Teachers combine letters to perform the task of word reading
Working with teachers to help them feel equipped to meet the needs of every student in their classroom.
Smita Chaturvedi is a grade 1 teacher at Koirajpur Primary School, in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh (UP). She recognises the critical role she plays in making sure that her students meet their educational milestones in time, and what that means for their future. Throughout her 14-year career, she has had very little external support to improve and grow as a teacher.
Over the last 2 years, Smita Chaturvedi has been able to access lesson plans and teaching tools, to help her teach foundational concepts more effectively. Tactile learning aids like alphabet cards and illustrated story posters combined with engaging activities help her students engage with lessons. She is also a part of a network of local teachers where she can share challenges and learnings. As a result, she is now able to ensure that every child in her classroom receives customized support that meets their diverse learning needs.
“These children come from extremely vulnerable backgrounds, they receive little to no educational guidance at home. The learnings from courses and mentors have helped me make sure that I include children of all learning levels in my class, use innovative teaching methods to engage them and maximize their learning.”
Says Smita Chaturvedi
