ASSOCIATE EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATOR (Grade 4)

(A Great Opportunity to Learn & Teach Project-Based-Learning)

About Us

(Start with this Presentationto 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 for doing 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 managements understand the power of scholarship in improving teaching practices, and therefore it is seldom encouraged.

In our school, the teachers will work as scholars – researching their own 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.
