With governments across the country tentatively beginning to reopen schools it is very important for us to look at ways of supporting teachers and school administrators to resume teaching- learning practices. It would not do us any good to assume that schools can reopen, and learning can simply resume in the usual way with a bridge course, as has normally been the case. Even under normal conditions, it has not been clear what a bridge course should consist of and what exactly it would be bridging. In the current context, children are coming back to school after a very abnormal disruption, and in many cases after major disruptions in their lives.
- While there are many aspects of this school reopening that would be like the annual reopening after vacations, there are some very crucial ways in which it would be different.
- We are likely to see more variations in the class than what we were used to seeing – teaching to the mean will be even less effective than usual
- More emotional support may be needed for children – both in terms of addressing the disruptions in their lives, and in terms of (re)adapting to the skills of learning, processes of schools.
- Children’s readiness to engage with formal learning will vary widely across contexts
- More skills must be re-acquired and more content needs to be re-learnt than usual
Additional resources and tools are needed for responding to this requirement – for teachers, students, parents and school administrators. These resources also need to be flexible and allow for the school system to respond to the immediate requirement as well as for responding to any further school disruptions/ changes . While teachers are expected to create and use resources to respond to the situation, they have not had any special preparation to do so. The repository is intended to be a participatory, supportive space for meeting this need.
