                <p>Dear friends <span></span></p>
                <p>Thank you for your participation in the working group
                  meeting on August 3, 2021. It was a wonderful
                  experience to listen to the many
                  interventions, ideas and insights.</p>
                <p><span></span></p>
                <p>Based on the various inputs shared in the two
                  meetings,
                  we have compiled below a set of action items/ next
                  steps that this group can
                  work on.  Request all of you to review
                  and share your comments / suggestions as well as
                  indicate which of the areas
                  each one of you would be able to take up/ work on.</p>
                <p><span></span></p>
                <p>The starting point would be to document as many
                  interventions as possible - request all of you to send
                  the documentation by
                  this weekend (the template is attached with this email
                  - this is a suggested template
                  and please feel free to modify it as appropriate).

                </p>
                <p><span></span></p>
                <ol>
                  <li>Continue the documentation of initiatives
                    undertaken
                    by different organizations which can then be
                    collated into a broad 'model' or
                    'guidelines' document (request the filled templates
                    to be sent by end of this
                    week) - a template is attached.</li>
                  <li>Deconstruct the challenges of the current scenario
                    and
                    the impact it has on children of different ages and 
                    examine it along the dimensions of
                    curriculum, pedagogies, teacher preparation and
                    community involvement.  Creating a policy brief from
                    the insights of
                    this analysis would become an use useful input for
                    the education system.</li>
                  <li>Curating a resource for parents and caregivers for
                    supporting them in engaging with children and
                    support their learning</li>
                  <li>Develop/ curate resources that can help teachers
                    in
                    developing flexible teaching - learning strategies. 
                    The emphasis should be on integrating
                    children's experiences into the teaching-learning
                    process; identify what
                    children have learnt outside school and build on
                    that rather than merely
                    focusing on the "syllabus".  
                    Addressing the socio-emotional needs for children
                    needs to be also
                    looked into. </li>
                  <li>Identifying and
                    showcasing a few models where locally relevant and
                    responsive learning
                    environments have been created with support from the
                    community, school
                    teachers, civil society organizations, citizen
                    networks, and come up with a set
                    of alternatives for the education system to consider
                    when reopening schools (could
                    be in the form of a toolkit)</li>
                  <li>Reach out to teacher education institutions and
                    creating a network of student teachers who would be
                    able to work with children
                    in their communities in a structured manner</li>
                  <li>Form a network
                    of govt. and private school teachers, local
                    authorities and teacher education
                    institutes to reach out better to the community</li>
                  <li>Create advocacy forums for parent/teacher
                    communities;
                    share 'position statements' on the different
                    dimensions and challenges; also
                    serve as a platform for putting out scientifically
                    accurate information.</li>
