Background:
The total number of schools under Karnataka Government is about 50,000 Schools. The total number of students are about 1 Crore ( 10 Million ) and close to 3,00,000 teachers.
Karnataka is a larger state with diversity in Geography, Climate, People and Culture. The needs are different for children at different districts. The learning capabilities are also different in different districts.
Current Situation
The Government schools syllabuses are standardized in the state. Though standardization has its merits example; Creates common opinion among children about the state and its people. It also has demerits because there is lack of localization of content, which effects their ability to work and learn things which take place around their region ,district and build on it for a the society requirements.
Educationalist and Teachers play an important role in nurturing and cultivating children’s mind.
Educationalist and Teachers create localized and innovative ways of teaching to budding young and powerful minds of children. The process of innovation developed by these teachers has great impact in the life of the children.
The challenge
The challenge in the government schools and partly in the private schools is to replicate the innovation and methodology used by few teachers, throughout the schooling fraternity.
The Solution
The above context shows us that, innovation takes place at class rooms by teachers and implemented through methods, methodology and other soft skills and tools.
To replicate the innovations and methods. Technology can be leverage to a large extent.
Examples
1. Video Recording of Class room lessons and building case studies.
2. Video Recording also helps us to observe students grasping level
3. Analyzing children’s learning curve though interactive and real time teaching methods
Creating a Common Platform
Different Technology and methodology are used by teaching fraternity to enhance and empower students. A Cross pollination of teaching technology and methodology can be shared and discussed in Larger State Level, National Level or International level Conferences and Congress.
This allows teachers to think and adapt to children’s requirement and develop these skills. These yearly Conferences and Congress will be far effective compared to training programs as these are diverse and emerging. The spin offs of these Congress will result in newer training modules and process.
The follow of these Conference and Congress can be achieved through training programs.
