Hamaari Shikshak

What is Hamaari Shikshak?

Hamaari Shikshak is a 5-day immersive camp for a 5-day residential camp for teacher coaches, Mentors, Academic Coordinators and School Leaders that fosters conversations towards generating insights to strengthen Teacher Professional Development Programs.

The camp was designed and executed with an intention to allow the coaches to explore the world of inquiry and discussion-based learning, keeping conceptual clarity at the heart.

During the camp, participants will engage with the Aavishkaar team & each other

from 9AM to 5PM including lunch and tea breaks. Sessions across the camp will include

spaces that will explore several math & science concepts, Ganit & Vigyan charchas and exploration tasks.

Camp Overview : 

Everyday participants learning journey will be as follows :

• Engaging with Math and Science content session – being part of spaces and

experiencing the content – switching between teacher and student hats.

• Followed by a debrief/reflection exercise to discuss the strong pedagogy pieces that

they observed, elements that made the conceptual understanding better and deep

diving to understand the planning process facilitators at Aavishkaar follow.

• Their daily schedule will also have spaces for individual/group work time allowing

participants to apply their learnings to practice and ask questions – individually or as a

group.
