Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalTeachers are the central character in any school system, and their effectiveness and success are key to children’s learning. In classrooms across India, our teachers work tirelessly, sometimes under severe resource constraints, teaching children with a diversity of learning levels, interests and backgrounds. Teaching can also be a lonely profession, with limited avenues to discuss successes and challenges amongst peers. Several platforms are gradually emerging to bridge this gap between teachers, providing resources for continuous professional development and the motivation to tackle stiff challenges.
Chalk and Challenges is a collection of perspectives on teaching practices
written by a group of winners of the CENTA Teaching Professionals' Olympiad
2015 and 2016. This group includes school teachers, fellows, school leaders and
education experts. They offer ideas and inspiration to the teaching community
by sharing strategies and techniques that they have successfully used in their
classrooms.
The sections of this book address 5 key aspects of great teaching practices:
Subject Expertise and Pedagogy;
Child Learning and Classroom Management;
Role of Technology;
The Teacher as a Professional; and
Student-centred Learning.
This is a book by teachers for teachers. It speaks directly to their needs, and
shares practices that could be replicated in classrooms across the country.
