I am a Teacher, a not for profit organization, founded by Harvard University Alumni aims to build an alternate and a practice based model for teacher education in India. This model has the potential to transform and reinvent teacher education in the country and thus reform school education. We are offering a Post Graduate Diploma in Learning and Teaching. PGDLT is an innovative, practice-based one-year full time programme, commencing in June 2015. It offers a unique synthesis of theory and practice, combining a year long classroom engagement in select schools with a carefully aligned sequence of coursework. Aspiring teachers are intensively mentored and guided through the year by a clinical teacher educator, who is present on the field. This process helps participants draw meaningful connections between their classroom work and the latest in education theory and research. Our thought partner in this initiative is Urban Teacher Residency United, which is an apex organization that has been working on transforming the American model of Teacher education. We also have Boston Teacher Residency, USA, The Heritage Schools, India and Jodo Gyan as our academic partners in this endeavour.
