The Buzz @ TTF

Welcome to our Newsletter for the 2nd Quarter of 2021.
We've been busy conducting synchronous and asynchronous workshops, hosting a webinar for our Govt teachers in Raigad, Maharshtra; running our sustained programmes like HeadLAMP & Coaching for School Succes (CFSS) and much more.
And in our 20th year of operations, creating yet another milestone with the soft launch of our new app!
TTF app launch! 

As we embark on our 20th year, we are delighted to have launched an App specifically crafted for the teaching community. Now from the palm of your hand you can connect and collaborate with fellow teaching professionals from across the country. Join us on the App by downloading it from the Google Play Store!

The Life Skills Collaborative (LSC)

TTF is a partner organisation in the Life Skills Collaborative (LSC), comprising 17 organisations. TTF is proud to be responsible for building the India Glossary of Life Skills.

As a run-up to developing the Glossary, LSC collaborated with Harvard University's EASEl Labs to map 26 carefully selected SEL and Life Skills Frameworks from India and across the world. (http://easel-india-life-skills-collaborative.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/compare-domains/).

TTF's ISELF was also mapped and has been found to demonstrate the most depth of focus.

The First draft of the India Glossary will be ready by 15th July and include a list of 40 + life skills, their definition, sub-skills, related terms and the manifestation of each skill.

This draft is a culmination of careful literature review of existing frameworks from 7 different regions of the world, research papers related to life skills. In the coming months data from interviews and surveys with national and international experts will also be incorporated.

Webinar with Govt School Teachers in Raigad

Over 290 teachers from around 200 government schools in Raigad participated in a Webinar jointly organised by TTF and Swades Foundation, supported by the Raigad District Education Dept and DIET.
The focus of the webinar was the National Education Policy 2020 and its implications for teachers.
Janardan Bhilare from RZP School Pachhapur, Sudhagad Pali says,'The webinar was well planned and organised. We understood in detail all the components of the NEP. Questions and doubts were resolved properly. The lessons learned here will be put to good use in the future.'
Subject Enrichment Workshops

75 teachers from across India participated in Subject Enrichment workshops focusing on Science, English, Maths and Social Studies. Through these synchronous and asynchronous workshops, teachers examined how each subject should be taught with subject-specific pedagogical skills. This will enable and encourage critical thinking in students.
Quality Circle Time (QCT) 

Manthan International School, Hyderabad has been long committed to using Jenny Mosley's Whole School Ecosystemic Model of Quality Circle Time to foster self esteem, better relationships and well-beings. In early June TTF conducted 4 sessions of QCT for 45 new teachers of the school. A participant, Debadyooti, gives feedback on her QCT training sessions with TTF on Flipgrid.

The 18 session HeadLAMP focuses on the critical functions & skills required of a contemporary school head to make for an effective learning school in the 21st century.

Coaching for School Success (CFSS)
