Shishu Ranjan
Shishu Ranjan writes about how democratic values were brought to life in a primary school in Uttarakhand. Inspired by the National Curriculum Framework 2005, the teachers worked with the school authorities and student body to organize a student parliament election. In the weeks that followed, students as well as teachers had a uniquely immersive experience. This innovative project not only educated students but also transformed teachers’ perspectives and practices.
Aparna Vinod
Aparna Vinod writes about how the traditional approach of teaching instills a fear of learning in students and isolates them from their teachers. Transformative learning, in contrast, positions the teacher not as an expert, but as a facilitator. The process of teaching and learning therefore becomes akin to an exchange between different parties. How does this new-age approach play out in the classroom? Aparna illustrates this with three case studies.
Timira
Educators today address complex topics like LGBTQ+ rights and societal issues in the classroom, so much so that no topic is off-limits. Timira writes about how this shift from traditional teaching methods to more inclusive, dialogue-driven approaches, encourages students to explore real-world complexities within the safety of the classroom. She challenges the conventional ‘banking’ model of education and advocates for a more engaging and socially relevant learning experience for the students of tomorrow.
