How does Teach For India’s approach to teaching differ from traditional approaches?
Teach For India’s “Teaching As Leadership” (TAL) model is based on the belief that excellent teachers employ the same skills as excellent leaders in any field. The TAL model requires teachers to plan purposefully, execute effectively, work relentlessly and reflect continuously in order to push students to significant academic gains. Through the TAL model, Fellows become extraordinary leader who can help their students make significant academic gains in the short run and advocate for systemic educational reform in the long run.
