Read Aloud Programme in Bardez Taluka, Goa
Working with states to strengthen leadership and governance towards school improvement
SSIP: The Systemic School Improvement Programme enables leaders at all levels to:
• develop a common and measurable understanding of holistic school quality across stakeholder
• measure the performance of schools against validated quality benchmarks
• use the data to begin to work in peer communities of leaders (at all levels) to support schools in a targeted manner to develop capacity to lead change
• Validate improvement
• Document learnings and best practices in a way that they can be fed back into the system
• Activate networks of local stakeholders (volunteers, public libraries, local industry etc.) to create an ecosystem of support around schools
Programme's Aim
The programme is intended to foster a culture of reading in the community and helps the school achieve the NIPUN Bharat goal of Foundational Literacy.
The read-aloud programme tracks three layers of impact:
- Improvement in the culture of reading in the classroom measured in the form of book borrowing and participation during read-alouds
- The ability of an increased number of teachers and volunteers to read aloud to students and set up active reading corners
- Increased conversation at the level of the zone and block focused on how to leverage this pool of teachers to support others to drive such practices and integrate it with the NIPUN Bharat mission.
