Professional Learning Program (PLP)
The Learning Forward India (LFIN) Professional Learning Program is a collaborative initiative designed to transform school culture through continuous, evidence-based professional development.
Core Pillars of the Program
• Standards-Based Learning: Aligned with the global Learning Forward standards, ensuring that professional learning is not just a one-off workshop but a sustained, data-driven process.
• The "Good Schools" Philosophy: The program advocates for schools to be happy, inclusive spaces where the focus shifts from mere academic coaching to holistic "learning for life."
• Collaborative Networks: It leverages the Good Schools Alliance to create a "network of networks," allowing educators across India to share best practices and peer mentorship.
• Service-Oriented Leadership: Under Sandeep Dutt's stewardship, there is a heavy emphasis on building leadership capacity at all levels—from students to principals—to foster a culture of agency and accountability.
Professional learning is our strategy to strengthen educators’ practices, ensuring every student receives excellent teaching.
