Assistant Teacher

**ASSISTANT TEACHER**

(A Great Opportunity to Learn & Teach Project-Based-Learning)

About Us

(Start with this Presentation to get a comprehensive overview of our School)

The Polymath School is Mumbai's first K-12 Project-Based-Learning (PBL) School.

In projects that typically last 3-4 months, we integrate rich content, 21st-century skills, and

human values in the context of a real-life problem or a challenge. The interdisciplinary nature of

projects, along with the real-life context, makes learning come alive for students and educators

(Examples - Organic Farming Project, "Building a Frog Habitat").

Even though we are a school, we try to maintain a start-up culture. The reason for that is simple
- if we want our students to develop life skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity,

etc., we, the facilitators (educators), need to live it ourselves.

**Teachers as Scholars**

The notion of educators working as scholars is alien to most schools. Very few school

managements understand the power of scholarship in improving teaching practices, and therefore

it is seldom encouraged.

In our school, the educators will work as scholars - researching their practice by reflecting on,

documenting, and presenting their work, observing the work of others, and comparing best

practices. There will be regular teacher conclaves where teachers from different schools share

their successes and struggles. Just as with students, when educators have to make their work

public, they are driven to put in unusual effort and thoughtfulness in their practice.
