Inclusive Learning for 50,000 children In India

As per the official records, out of the 135301 children identified as children with special needs in Karnataka, 121153 are enrolled in schools and 14148 are given homeschooling. This makes Karnataka one of the 8 States in India that is 100% in compliance with the Policy of Universal Primary Education. However, ground data suggest that 70% of our regular school teachers have"neither received training in special education nor have any experience teaching students with disabilities."

Disadvantaged children in rural India can benefit most from more enlightened, inclusive teaching. This project aims at empowering 125 school teachers in the poorest areas with an intensive, inspiring program. It consists of a 5-day workshop and powerful school-based support sessions using proven methods to enable teachers to bring in the last child into engaged learning. Every teacher impacts on average over 400 children in his/ her career, so the program has potential to impact 50,000 children.

Quality Circle Time Workshop in Chennai

As part of our rich and varied services for schools, heads and teachers, The Teacher Foundation vision is to make schools enabling environments for all students! We care deeply about what students feel about school and the lasting learning experiences they have at school. Indisputably, schools must be happy places for all students! But only happy, enthusiastic teachers lead to happy students. For this we all have to work concertedly at making schools more caring and sensitive towards all their stakeholders.

The highly popular Whole School Quality Circle Time model developed by Jenny Mosley, is a holistic, highly effective approach to meet the social and emotional learning needs of children and adults in schools. The Teacher Foundation (TTF) is the sole accredited training provider in India for Jenny Mosley Consultancies, UK. TTF has trained several thousand teachers across India on QCT approach.

The training on Whole School Quality Circle Time (QCT) is an approach that is inclusive, positive, caring and assertive so that students and staff experience success in school. Participants will understand the ethos of the Whole School Quality Circle Time Model – to promote positive behaviour and respectful relationships in their schools.
