Program for High Performing Schools

The High Performing School program is a long term online support for schools, where a 16 parameter HPS Rubric is used to track the journey for achieving high targets. Shikshangan conducts 24 online sessions in one year for schools that sign up, to ensure rapid progress.

Details of the program:

Shikshangan conducts 2 online sessions (each of 1.5 hr) per month for the mentee school first to understand the current situation with respect to the 16 parameters, and to work out an action plan.

Sessions will later be used to coach teachers and the leadership team, and to review the progress of the action plan. Few sessions will be for observing teaching (online) and giving goal referenced and developmental feedback.

This will provide close support to the school team for achieving all the parameters of the HPS Rubric.
