AN EARLY GRADES PROGRAM THAT ENSURES IMPROVEMENT IN STUDENT LEARNING IGNITE!

Many children in India are not learning. Only 30% of

class 3 students can read class 2 text or solve simple

subtraction. We have understood the root cause for this

to be the lack of tools, training, support and motivation

for teachers, and lack of parent engagement.

Ignite! is an integrated early grades program for KG to

class 3 that ensures improvements in student learning.

Our program addresses all aspects of school

improvement, from training to tools and materials.

We do this through:

1. Individualised training and support for every teacher

2. World class curriculum and tools

3. Student and teacher level data analysis

4. Continuous communications with SLs and parents

IGNITE! IS CUSTOMISED FOR YOUR SCHOOL’S NEEDS.

We train and support the teachers with content and

general pedagogy to be prepared for the class once

every 2 weeks. In these visits, we conduct classroom

observations, conduct sample assessments, and

provide immediate feedback to teachers.

INDIVIDUALISED TRAINING AND SUPPORT FOR EVERY TEACHER

1

We create a world class curriculum in Math and

English for KG to Class 3. This includes class and

homework books for students, and teachers

guides with lesson plans. The curriculum is

mapped to state/CBSE curriculum.

WORLD CLASS CURRICULUM AND TOOLS

“Till last year in our school, the children could only say sentences

in the third grade, but now I can proudly say that the children

in the 1 st grade are able to say these sentences.

Now they can differentiate between colours, say numbers

and read from the first grade itself.”

Farid ShaikhSchool Leader, Mumbai

“Parent is one of the important factors in the education system.

When parents are happy first of all you see the impact on

attendance. Attendance of children is good. Satisfaction level

of the parent has gone very high as after the program, there

is no drop out happening.

Every school leader is interested in looking at the growth

of the child and it is largely dependent on the teacher in

the class.My kids are really doing well and they are growing.

Ultimately as a school leader it not only gives me satisfaction

but the mouth publicity of the school and branding

of the school happens automatically. That is the advantage

of having 321 with us.”

We collect and analyse baseline, midline, and

endline data for a sample set of students.

This is used to provide feedback and updates

to teachers and School Leaders, and to keep

refining the program.

We support schools by conducting parent

orientation workshops, organising Parent-

Teacher meetings, and providing regular

updates to parents and school leaders.

CONTINUOUS SUPPORT WITH SLs AND PARENTS

“After my child became a part of the program,

he started joining english letters and started reading by himself.

He also does counting, addition and subtraction by himself.

We do not have to help him. He does everything by himself.

Also, his marks have improved. I hope he keeps continuing

learning well.”

ABOUT 321 EDUCATION FOUNDATION

OUR SUPPORTERS

We started in 2012 by opening a school for children from

low-income communities in Mumbai. Our experience in running

the school led us to understand the value that high quality

teaching brings to a child’s learning in school. The urgency

for having more confident and empowered educators across

schools led us to build customized programs for our teachers.
