Module on Differentiated Learning
The objective of the module was to enable teachers to develop the skill and understanding of the need, challenges, importance and implementation of differentiated learning in a mixed-ability classroom setting.
The module is divided into 4 sessions.
Session 1 focuses on the need for and challenges of differentiated learning
Session 2 focuses on identifying challenges in classroom
Session 3 focuses on overcoming classroom challenges to differential learning
Session 4 focuses on plans for the future
Outcome of session 1
Outcome of session 2
A. List of unique challenges from module 1, identified under the ‘Circle of Concern’
B. Solutions to challenges identified under the ‘Circle of Concern’
Workshop on ‘Framing a Research Hypothesis’ August 2021
The strength of a research study lies in the methodology because it ties all the components of the study together. To understand the relationship between the variables in the study, the researcher relies on a ‘hypothesis’ that is a tentative statement that guides the researcher towards the solution. Developing a concrete hypothesis is important to bring about a focus to the research problem and establish authenticity. It also allows the researcher to decide on the appropriate tools and techniques of data collection and analysis.
As a part of the ongoing capacity building of our Science teachers, we conducted a workshop on ‘Framing a Research Hypothesis’ on 23rd Aug 2021. The workshop aimed at enabling teachers to understand the nature and importance of the research hypothesis, the different types of hypothesis and variables. Participants were guided through the process of framing a hypothesis using the ‘TTSV’ framework.

Workshop on ‘Framing a Research Question’ August 2021
The preliminary step in conducting a research study involves framing a sound research question. Research questions are important in guiding the course of study and help the researcher define the variables that need to be investigated. It prevents the researcher from deviating from the topic of study. There are some guidelines and frameworks that assist researchers in framing research questions.
To build the capacity of our Science teachers, we conducted a workshop on ‘Framing a Research Question’ on 7th Aug 2021. The main aim of this workshop was to equip teachers with the knowledge on framing research questions, which they could further cascade to their students in class. During the workshop, teachers were oriented about the path of developing a research question using ‘FINER’, PICO(T) and PEO frameworks. They were also introduced to the best practices while framing research questions and encouraged to frame their own research questions.

ECHO Interviews - Workshop for Subject Faculty
Training Pre-school Faculty the Skill of In-depth Interviewing in Qualitative Research
The Research Department held an online training session for pre-school faculty on the skill of in-depth interviewing in qualitative research. The training was done to equip the faculty with tools and resources to help them in the data collection process of the study on 'Parent and Teacher Perceptions of Parental Engagement in Early Childhood Years'.

Team Professional Development Workshop 2020
Referencing allows one to recognize the contribution of other authors and researchers to your work. Any research based on ideas, words, or research by other authors must include citations. Referencing is also a way of recognizing the authors from whom one has borrowed words and ideas. By citing the work of a particular researcher, one recognizes and respects that researcher's intellectual property rights.
Against this background, on July 8, 2020, the Research department organized an online workshop for its members on how to use ‘Zotero', a citation manager.
This session, was aimed at building skills and capacity of our subject faculty (senior) teachers and lead faculty to use Zotero, a citation software to insert citations and create a bibliography in Google Docs, for the better documentation of literature review.
