The Delhi government will send batches of 'Mentor Teachers' to Mumbai, Bangalore, Jaipur and Ahmedabad next month to enhance teaching-learning methodologies inside classrooms.

"Under the Mentor Teacher Program, 200 specialised cadre of government school teachers play a pivotal role in enhancing teaching-learning methodologies. In Rajasthan, a batch would be spending time at Digantar Vidyala and Grameen Shiksha Kendra. In Gujarat, Anupam Moti Dau Primary School and Gyanshala are educational centres which will host mentors," an official statement said.

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, "Mentor teachers will be deeply enriched by their exposure trips that the Government has organised for them. I am positive that this will significantly improve their ability to build capacities of other teachers in future."
 

"In Mumbai, they will be at Gateway School of Mumbai and Teach For India. The goal of this initiative is to further strengthen the capacities of mentors to facilitate sessions with the rest of the teachers in Delhi on content and pedagogy.

"Mentors will visit various government and private schools, non-governmental organisations working in the field of education, etc. To observe and understand the innovations developed by them in pedagogy," the government statement said.
