Passion and dedication fueled our mission to equip our schools with state-of-the-art digital infrastructure and a vibrant library. We envisioned a dynamic learning environment that would empower our students with limitless opportunities. However, after three months, a disheartening reality dawned upon us – these incredible resources remained dormant, untouched by our dedicated teachers.
This realization prompted us to delve deeper into the issue. Why were these valuable resources gathering dust? The answer was clear: our teachers were primarily evaluated based on how quickly they covered the syllabus in the classroom. It was a classic case of 'you get what you measure.' To bring about a transformative change, we needed a system that not only measured syllabus completion but also encouraged teachers to utilize these resources and create a holistic learning experience.We also realized that is exactly the reason why infrastructure created by NGOs in government schools will not be utilized and remain dormant
And thus, the Teacher Point System was born. We recognized the importance of holding our educators accountable for utilizing the digital infrastructure, library, and other positive classroom practices. Under this system, each school had the autonomy to develop their unique criteria for awarding teacher points. These criteria encompassed a range of factors, including the use of facilities, creativity in teaching, and student engagement.
One crucial aspect of the Teacher Point System was visibility. We prominently displayed the accumulated teacher points in the school office. This transparency not only fostered healthy competition among teachers but also served as a source of motivation. It highlighted the significance of utilizing resources and embracing innovative teaching methods to enhance the overall learning experience for our students.
In an upcoming blog post, we'll delve deeper into the implementation of the Teacher Point System and the remarkable results it has yielded in our school. Stay tuned as we explore how this innovative approach has rekindled the passion for teaching and inspired our educators to unlock the full potential of our educational resources.
