Download a useful PDF for all teachers to write from a daily notebook.

 Much has been written on this topic - and trainings have been conducted on 'activity-based learning' and 'child-centred learning' - but how can you actually implement it in your school?  Are?  This unit provides practical examples of how to use TESS-INDIA Open Educational Resources (OERs) with teachers to make their lessons more participatory in order to improve their students' learning outcomes.

 This unit guides you through a change project that will last for one session (approximately 12 weeks).  In this you will focus on the changes related to teaching in your school.  You will be encouraged to identify any aspects of your teachers' classroom practice that you would like to change.  It includes activities for you to do in school and case studies that provide examples of implementation.

 You should go through the entire unit before you begin, and then do the activities in the order they are given, and keep records of your plans, actions, and outcomes as you progress through the session.

 learning diary

 As you work through this unit, you will be asked to make notes in your Learning Diary.  This diary is a book or folder where you collect your thoughts and plans.  Perhaps you have even started your diary.

 You can work alone in this unit, but you will learn much more if you can discuss your learning with another school leader.  This could be a colleague with whom you already collaborate, or someone with whom you want to build a new relationship.  This can be done in a planned manner or on a more informal basis.  Your notes in your Learning Diary will be useful for these types of meetings, as well as a map of your long-term learning and development.

 What school leaders can learn from this unit

 Thoughts on how to sustain reforms in teaching and learning.

 1 participatory, student-centered learning

 In 2005, the NCF made it clear that student participation in learning is the key to achieving the best learning outcomes.  Students should have the opportunity to:

 to contribute ideas while learning

 to speak and discuss their thoughts and experiences

 To relate what they learned in school to their everyday lives.

 Research agrees on this point.  The reality is that implementation is difficult.  Many teachers believe that large class sizes or multiple grade or multilingual classes do not allow them to adopt student-centred approaches.  The TESS-India OERs provide actionable examples, in the form of case studies and activities, that teachers can implement in their classrooms to overcome these concerns.

 In good schools, teachers themselves try to be active learners and reflect on their practice regularly:

 check what they do

 check what each student is actually learning

 improve and optimize your classroom practice, including your teaching skills.

 As a school leader, part of your role is also to help teachers reflect on experiments and practice in their classrooms.  When teachers use participatory methods of teaching, they will begin to recognize their advantages.  When teachers themselves feel the benefits, they will adopt new methods with confidence.

 In Activity 1 you will reflect on the current teaching and learning process in your school and choose action points for improvement over the next few weeks.  Next, the following activities will help you support teachers in improving their classroom practice.  This is explained in Figure 2.

 Activity 1: How student-centered are your classes?

 This activity asks you to examine how much student-centred teaching and learning already exists in your school.  Where good practices are already in place, it's important to note this, as you can build on it.
