<span></span>Dear friends,
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">There will be no
meeting of this group this week.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">Here is a short
update on the work that is being done/ needing to be done...</p>
<ol><li>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">We had
discussed during our meeting on Oct 12th, the creation of
booklets/ handbooks for teachers on specific themes (including
projects) that would facilitate a teachers’ re-imagination of how
they could teach. These could include sample activities, student
practice work as well as assessments. These guidebooks can be
structured along a template – which would allow teachers to
implement the activities, as well as develop extensions based on
their contexts and the levels of the children they teach. These
could be piloted with teacher networks that we have access to. The
objectives are two-fold (i) to support teachers in trying out new
methodologies and (ii) using learning resources to create
conversations among teachers on what to teach and how..
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">Please do share
your thoughts on how to structure these handbooks as well as how we
can reach out to teachers; we could also pilot these with cohorts of
student teachers in teacher education institutions.</p>
</li><li>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">Sajitha and
Guru had shared a document on school reopening guidelines requesting
feedback and inputs. Request all of you to share your thoughts and
comments as well.</p>
</li></ol>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">Our next meeting
will be on Oct 26th.<br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">Best regards</p>
