Programs

  • Ignite

    Ignite! is an integrated early grades program to ensure statistically significant improvements in student learning

  • PARaM

    PARaM is a program designed by 321 to make a sizable, meaningful contribution towards solving the foundational literacy and numeracy problem in the country. This is an in-classroom, teacher-led program focused on achieving grade-level foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) outcomes for students in grades 1-5. The program is hybrid in nature and leverages technology to build capacity of teachers and ensure consistent monitoring and evaluation of teachers’ efforts and student learning. It is a combination of predominantly online teacher training & support interspersed with a few on-site interventions. The program purports to create an army of FLN proficient teachers who are able to help each and every child achieve grade-level proficiency in English and Math. We aim to reach and impact half a million students in the next 3-5 years. The program stands on four pillars - Prepare, Assess, Remediate and Motivate - to deliver student learning outcomes. The incorporation of technology in capacity building of teachers through online content and tools is transforming the way teachers teach, and students learn. A teacher who is comfortable with the usage of technology for her professional development is also capable of engaging students in a more dynamic way. It is clear that teachers plus technology are playing a critical role in the future of education, and they will continue to shape the way we learn and grow.
