Thank Arun for the introduction.
Dear Sriranjani,
I have filled the template that you sent for our mini-school effort. I am
not sure who else to forward this to.
I will be happy to participate in this initiative. Go ahead and add me
to the list. I will be glad for the opportunity to present the work at our
mini-schools on 31st Aug.
Thanks,
Rajaram

>>>> * Next steps/ way forward:*

>>>>
>>>> 1. Continue the documentation of initiatives undertaken by

>>>> 'guidelines' document (request the filled templates to be sent by end of
>>>> this week) - a template is attached.
>>>> 2. 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.
>>>> 3. Curating a resource for parents and caregivers for supporting
>>>> them in engaging with children and support their learning
>>>> 4. 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.
>>>> 5. 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)
>>>> 6. 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
>>>> 7. Form a network of govt. and private school teachers, local
>>>> authorities and teacher education institutes to reach out better to the
>>>> community
>>>> 8. 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.
>>>>
>>>> Request you all to share your thoughts and comments. The next meeting
