Deenabandhu Teacher Resource Center
Supported by Oracle, through CAF, India
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deenabandhu
is training Govt. primary school teachers in the district of
Chamarajanagar since 2005. Deenbandhu has trained over 800 teachers
since its inception. Currently Deenbandhu Teacher Resource Center
(TRC) is working towards the professional development of 162 Govt.
primary school teachers from Chamarajanagar district in Science and
Mathematics. Earlier Deenabandhu TRC was supported by Sir Ratan Tata
Trust (SRTT) and Navaj Bai Ratan Tata Trust (NRTT). Since April 2015,
Deenbandhu TRC is completely supported by Oracle.
Currently
162 Govt. primary school teachers are being trained by Deenabandhu
TRC through workshops, discussions, school visits and personal
interactions. This story is about two teachers out of these 162
namely Sri Sunil Devkumar and Sri Manjunath.
Sri
Sunil Devkumar works as a science teacher at Govt. Higher Primary
School, Kesthooru, Yelanduru Taluk, Chamarajanagar. Sri Manjunath
works as a science teacher at Kunthooru, Kollegal Taluk,
Chamarajanagar. Both of them were introduce to Deenabandhu in 2015.
They actively participated in all the workshops conducted by
Deenabandhu. They kept continuous contact with Deenabandhu resource
persons by visiting the center regularly. They also used to call
whenever they needed any clarity with any Teaching Learning Materials
(TLMs). They used to borrow TLMs from TRC to use in their schools.
These young teachers who used to attend workshops as trainee are now
invited by the educational department of Chamarajanagar as Resource
persons to conduct similar workshops for other teachers.
Making
every teacher a resource person himself is the vision of Deenabandhu.
Examples like Sunil and Manjunath are making our visions and dreams
come true. This is a very inspiring beginning and we can already see
the cultural shift in education of Govt. schools in and around
Chamarajanagar.
