Collaboration to Achieve Shared Vision

System-wide alignment & collaboration

towards common goals

the city

Little collaboration between govt. and

private schools

No support for weak schools

Collaboration between Govt. and

Private Schools Shared Vision

Support for Weak Schools

Chairman to get buy-in of key stakeholders towards the

shared vision and goals. Have

thought leaders endorse it.

Teachers across SDMC schools create study

groups – meet weekly, observe peers in class, share lesson

plans, teaching techniques etc.

Improve Accountability for Continuous Improvement

System Accountability to Every Child’s

Learning & Continuous

Improvement

Lack of student assessment data

Lack of school performance data

Annual Standardised Assessment

School Rating Index

Low-stakes standardised

assessments for all children in

classes 3, 5. Use data for

improving classroom

instruction and teacher training.

Establish a school rating index that measures school performance on

various indicators of quality.

Current Challenges


Key Action Steps

No data monitoring system

to promote continuous

improvement in student learning

Rich Data Systems

Create education data system that generates reports

for various stakeholders.

Build stakeholder capacity for using data to improve student learning.

Lack of authentic attendance and SI

visit data

Technology for Improved

Accountability

Install biometric systems to

monitor teacher and student attendance.

Provide school inspectors with

track them

Selecting and Nurturing High Potential School Leaders

Effective school leader in every

school

Selection in the govt. schools is based on

seniority

Role of an administrator

No accountability for learning outcomes

Leadership

Training

Merit based selection of principals through Head Teacher Aptitude Test.

Final selection based on a clear rubric with focus

on instructional leadership.

Partner with NGOs/Corporates to create school leader training programme. All

new principals to go through

leaders, hold them accountable

to student learning in their

school.

SDMC to : • Renovate classrooms that require major

repairs and construct new classrooms • Generate funds for school maintenance

by letting out single shift schools for vocational training

Attract CSR funds from top corporates to improve infrastructure quality: • Improve functionality of libraries by

partnering with organisations such as Room2Read, Katha, Pratham

Inequity between govt. and private school children sets in early - Data for a municipal ward in Delhi reveals that in Class 2 , 63% MCD children are unable to recognise numbers from 1 to 100 compared to 14% in private schools.2

Big gap between KG and Class 1 enrolment

Early Childhood Education (ECE) • Rollout one year of KG across at least

80% SDMC schools • Build awareness among parents on the

importance of ECE to drive enrollments Focus on L&N in Classes 1 to 3 • Make L&N #1 Priority • Focused time for L&N in school timetable • Redesign curriculum to maintain teaching

standards in all schools • Make curriculum resources (leveled

reading series/ mathematics manipulative) available. Track progress using Early Grade Assessments

• Use Activity Based Learning to create joyful learning environment in classrooms
