A Curriculum Development Team puts together the lesson plans, teaching guides, assessments, worksheets and activities required in the class. A lot of preparation is required to put together materials for an activity-based learning methodology, and this support is critical for teachers. The teachers improvise on the given plans and personalise their implementation to suit each class' different learning levels.
Manthan believes in creating the right platform for its teachers to be effective and efficient. To ensure that, internal and external teaching training sessions are organised annually.
