Reflections on Educational Practice -Thematic Studies

Reflections on Educational Practice is a series of three books comprising 29 essays written by erstwhile students of TISS, Mumbai’s MAEE (Masters in Elementary Education) programme. These reports attempt to use insights received from academic and theoretical courses to reflect on practices found on various field sites in the country. The questions they raise regarding possibilities for educational development and change demand careful attention.

This book brings together reports on the projects and practices of many innovation and development organisations, and public and private schools in different parts of India. They touch upon key thematic issues such as teacher professionalism, nuances of teaching-learning materials, provisions for special needs, assessment of children as well as the impact of social perspectives on caste, class, gender on the teaching community.
