TISP in India

Teacher training and follow up workshops

– Train teachers on Hands on Training Activities– Host follow up workshops in schools– Lead and assist teachers to a point from where they are

comfortable hosting these workshops by themselves

Make it part of School Curriculum / Evaluation methods

– India education ministry urges schools to make continuous evaluation part of agenda

– Schools and teachers need a reason to take it up . Not just based on interest
