In this pieces, insights and learnings from discussions that took place in various thematic groups (such as those on ‘Artful Thinking’ and ‘Literacy Learning in a Multilingual,’ etc.)

The “Ground Zero” piece discusses how organizations across India are using fellowships as an intervention mode to fulfill a range of objectives including nurturing talent at the level of the community, transforming under-resourced government schools, to attracting talent to the social sector, and producing changemakers in the field of teaching and learning STEM subjects.

In the “Resources and Reviews” section, Shivaranjani shares a set of resources in the space of CPD for teachers, which can help us support the process of honing reflexivity, pedagogical content knowledge, self-assessment, dialogic engagement, and self-directed learning among our teachers.

In the ‘Ground Zero’ piece we share the experiences of four organizations who are pioneering effective approaches, based on experiential learning, to address gaps in children’s math education, especially of those learners who belong to underserved communities.

Akshatha N. Tirumalai and Sandhya Gupta, in the article titled ‘Celebrating Science and Math through Fairs,’ show how the traditional form of the ‘mela’ or local fairs is being effectively used by their organization to change the attitude to learning STEM subjects, by taking these outside classrooms and labs, and by making them fun and learner-centred.
