About Classteacher

With the changing trends in education and the advancements in technology, learning is no more confined to the four walls of a classroom or the narrow confines of a book. It has now transformed into an interactive voyage of discovery and learning, unfettered by distance, immensely benefiting not just the students, but the teachers and parents as well.

Classteacher Learning Systems are pioneers in interactive classroom technology in India, offering digital classrooms solutions to over 600 schools,1 million students and 25,000 educators all across India.

Classteacher has been empowering technology solutions for schools in the K-12 segment for more than 12 years. Classteacher Learning Systems was one of the first companies in India to introduce Digital White Boards; develop and introduce digital content and Classpad Tablets. Classteacher Learning Systems is the only company to have a complete range of solutions in Digital Interactive Classroom Program, Classpad, Assessment Program, Digital Math Program,Digital Science Program, Online Program and Digital Language Program.

The Classteacher World

In traditional education, learning is linear. Solutions offered by Classteacher Learning Systems reflect more closely on the complex and multidimensional nature of life outside the school. They stimulate interaction by encouraging deeper and active participation in the learning process, thus liberating teaching and learning from the constraints of a linear curriculum. The idea is to bring out the latent talent in every student, which conventional classroom methodologies are not geared towards.

At the heart of our solutions, are three fundamental beliefs that inform and drive the innovation process:-

?Voluntary learner participation is critically linked to superior learning outcomes

?The teacher plays a pivotal role as a role model, facilitator and interpreter of reality

We believe our role is that of catalyst in the eventual movement towards a globally accessible “Personalized Learning and

The Classteacher Approach

Our approach to child learning has been heavily influenced by an amalgam of ancient Indian methods of teaching, validated by modern behavioral studies on the subject. The Gurukul system, sadly out of fashion except in the field of music, dance and arts continues to remain the most efficacious environment for learning and has routinely produced pillars of excellence in Indian music and culture.

Modern studies have confirmed the linkage between the Environment, Attitudes and Behavioural . In the domain of learning, the right learning environment can therefore develop the right attitudes for learning among students. Key elements of this environment include nature, home, peers, the larger society and of course the school. Nearly 70% of students' waking hours are spent in school, therefore the school has a crucial role to play in shaping progressive attitudes and maturity.

However, mere environment and attitude alone is not enough. Given these, Superior Learning outcomes are a product of:

It is a comprehensive program on the basis of collaborative learning; online learning and scholastic & co-scholastic assessments for learning. It consists of 22 science probes, backed with an exhaustive list of over 200 experiments, for the students to investigate, engage, manipulate equipment, record data, analyze results and discuss findings leading to learning through the Predict-Observe-Explain module covering across Physics, Chemistry and Biology mapped to the K-12 curriculum.

In the traditional education system, Scientific experiments are predicted in text books and explained in theory. Although these theories suffice for a student to pass an examination, it neither excites inquisitiveness about the phenomenon nor satisfies it. Moreover, the visualization represented in the books leave a lot to imagination. And since individuals are potentially diverse in their ability to imagine, the full realization of the experiments fails to penetrate. This results in a huge gap in the development of a

inquiry based

Digital Science Program

The Classteacher Digital Science Program provides the perfect solution to this problem as it assists the teacher in demonstrating the experiments live in the class or field. This real-time demonstration of the experiments, before a theory session or afterwards, provides the much needed learning experience of the theory with actual phenomenon demonstration. It then becomes easier for the teacher to explain the theory behind the phenomenon and simpler for the students to relate to the complexities of the theory conveniently through dynamic visual correlation. This has a more pronounced impact on the student's aptitude and the learning outcomes. Being portable, it is versatile
