Our Approach

System

We engage with existing systems to strengthen processes and frameworks by co-creating designs and solutions with users of the solutions. This collaborative approach ensures ownership and drives meaningful change. Our agile, adaptable service offerings are easily contextualised and are ready to meet specific State/ user needs.

Scale

Our programmes are designed for scale, ensuring both wide and deep outreach. Through Memoranda of Understanding with Education Departments, we embed our staff within the system to be able to achieve scale by working within the system and reaching all government schools. This approach enables State-wide/ project-wide implementation of interventions. We strengthen implementation and outreach through comprehensive training for teachers, system actors and project staff.

Sustainability

We work with Departmental functionaries through a process of ideation and ‘doing and learning’ collaboratively to embed processes, frameworks, and procedures within the system for long-term sustainability. By partnering with departments at all levels, we ensure that interventions become self-sustaining. Our approach includes creating multiple levels of supervision using existing resources, ensuring the longevity of our initiatives.

Design Philosophy and Interventions

Under the overarching framework of systemic change, scale, and sustainability, our comprehensive approach rests on the following pillars:

Academic Strengthening

This is done through strengthening curriculum design if required, content creation, and rewriting of school textbooks incorporating activity based modules linked to specific Learning Outcomes (LOs). We write student/teacher handbooks to ensure standardised rollout of academic material across the State. There are continuous summative and normative assessments to ensure that children learn and LOs are achieved.

Capacity Development

There is significant focus on teacher training to ensure uniform use of the activity/ experiential modules. To enable standardisation so that the LOs are reached across the State, detailed teacher handbooks are created to support the process. We work on leadership development of Head Teachers through continuous engagement and support. To provide continuous support to teachers and other system actors, we have a bespoke telephone helpline as well as WhatsApp groups to ensure that capacity building initiatives are embedded appropriately.

Institutional Strengthening

To facilitate overall school improvement as envisaged in NEP 2020, we work collaboratively to design School Level Accreditation Frameworks (SQAAF). Based on accreditation information, MIS reports are generated for the Government to support school improvement, budgeting, and the creation of School Development Plans. We work with various system actors at all levels on building skills and capabilities to ensure system strengthening interventions remain embedded for sustainability.

Our content and products are modular, agile, and ready to plug and play. We contextualise our offerings based on the specific needs of each State or user.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL)

We focus on systemic change, scale and sustainability. With MEL embedded in programmes we continuously assess the implementation of various interventions both short term and long term by creating indicators. Through continuous assessments, we are able to monitor the direction of the programme and course correct as and when required. We also measure outputs and outcomes against pre-determined impact parameters to ensure that programme delivery is happening as planned.

Education thrives on partnership and collaboration—within schools, between schools, and with other groups and organisations. Ken Robinson
