Description

ASSOCIATE EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATOR (Homeroom Teacher)
(A Great Opportunity to Learn & Teach Project-Based-Learning)

About Us

(Start with this Presentation to get a comprehensive overview of our School)

The Polymath School is Mumbai's first K-12 Project-Based-Learning (PBL) School.

In projects that typically last 3-4 months, we integrate rich content, 21st-century skills, and

human values in the context of a real-life problem or a challenge. The interdisciplinary nature of

projects, along with the real-life context, makes learning come alive for students and educators

(Examples - Organic Farming Project, "Building a Frog Habitat").

Even though we are a school, we try to maintain a start-up culture. The reason for that is simple
- if we want our students to develop life skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity,

etc., we, the facilitators (educators), need to live it ourselves.

Whether you are an educator, who is aching to do more, but feeling shackled by the existing

school system; or a corporate executive, artist, or a professional looking to enter the education

space to do some truly meaningful work - do check us out

Teachers as Scholars
The notion of teachers working as scholars is alien to most schools. Very few school

management understands the power of scholarship in improving teaching practices; therefore, it is

seldom encouraged.

In our school, the teachers will work as scholars - researching their practice by reflecting on,

documenting, and presenting their work, observing the work of others, and comparing best

practices. There will be regular teacher conclaves where teachers from different schools share

their successes and struggles. Just as with students, when teachers have to make their work

public, they are driven to put in unusual effort and thoughtfulness in their practice.
