Indus Mentors
What does it takes to transact the comprehensive Indus learning
practices? Who will deliver
theory into practice? To enable each child to realize her
potential and achieve her dreams, demands a very special teaching
talent. The talent that we are talking about is the
desire not to teach at all!
No Teaching
Teachers at Indus are not teachers at all. They
are facilitators. You can even call
them mentors. They do not ‘teach’, they simply
facilitate learning. They are the guides for learners and
are learners themselves!
Indus mentors are only there to give your child a
gentle push in the direction of her dreams; towards the one
thing that she is happiest doing; to become that someone she’s
happiest being. Facilitation however, takes greater courage,
discipline and self-belief. It requires the ability to facilitate
and not instruct. To respond to a child’s question,
not react to it.
Qualified by education, Certified by Indus
A great deal of energy, time and effort has gone
into the selection and professional development of Indus mentors.
This team of handpicked enthusiastic young people from across
the country has been through rigorous training ranging from
child psychology to the latest methods of learning..
Their unquenchable thirst for knowledge, dedication
to the cause of education, commitment to create a better environment
and an undying love for children, are just a few of the ‘uncertifiable’
qualifications an Indus mentor carriers. They take great pride
in being part of the very first school in India to create
learning experiences
rather than teach and hence ‘start something new’
in education.
