Academic Growth
We structure our program around the rigorous curriculum developed by Educational Initiatives, in addition to teaching the SSC curriculum. Most of our students have skill-levels 2-4 years behind their current grade level and we aim for a minimum of 1.5 years, on average, of skills-growth from their incoming skill level for each student in Reading Comprehension, Reading Fluency, Math, Grammar and Writing. In 2010-2011 academic year students in Teach For India classrooms achieved an average of:
1.7 years of skill growth in Grammar
1.4 years in Writing
1.2 years in Speaking and Listening
1.1 years in Reading Fluency
1.0 in Reading Comprehension
60% of Teach For India classrooms made over 1.2 years of growth in Math
