CBSE to encourage collaboration among schools for the better learning experience

After instructing schools to arrange discussions among themselves and learn from the best teaching practices of each other, CBSE has now decided to form groups of 4-6 schools which can collaborate on aspects of teaching, training and academic reforms. The groups so formed will be known as ‘Hubs of learning’ and will promote the culture of sharing among schools. "The main aim of this collaborative partnership between schools is to create an ecosystem for the schools to effectively take up all round self-improvement. This collaboration will allow not only exposure to best practices, but also the possibility of adaptation or even replication of these practices," says CBSE. CBSE also emphasized that schools with limited resources can teach as effectively as schools with large and several resources. The new initiative by the CBSE will encourage the sharing of ideas, instructions and assessment strategies and will help individual teachers in improving the classroom learning experience of the children. Following are some of the areas on which schools are expected to collaborate: Academic collaborationResource sharingProfessional development of teachers/staffsSystematic reforms among other areas. The ‘Hubs of Learning’ (HoL) is expected to go functional by July 2019 and it has been suggested that HoL must meet once a month in order to keep the record of all the activities undertaken by them in a joint manner.
