Detailed Description

Teach For India (TFI) is a prestigious two-year fellowship program that recruits and trains young professionals and graduates to serve as full-time teachers in under-resourced schools across India. Fellows work in low-income communities, providing quality education while developing leadership skills to drive systemic change in the education sector. The program offers rigorous training, mentorship, and a network of education leaders, empowering fellows to address educational inequity. Teach For India's design approach emphasizes experiential learning, encouraging activity-based and peer-to-peer interactions to enhance student engagement. It incorporates gamification through storytelling, quizzes, and project-based tasks, making learning more interactive and enjoyable. Additionally, TFI integrates technology into its pedagogy, leveraging EdTech tools like Google Classroom and Khan Academy to create a blended learning experience that improves accessibility and effectiveness in under-resourced classrooms.
