Position: Social entrepreneur and chairman of Bhadrajun Artisans Trust
Location: Rajasthan, India
Connection to Learning Forward: Chairman of Learning Forward India
When he established the India affiliate: 2015
Why he promotes professional learning: India’s teachers are undervalued and under-supported. They need opportunities to network and learn. With little financial support in India, teachers must take responsibility for their own learning.
Three keys to Learning Forward India’s success: A relatively new but growing affiliate, Learning Forward India started working in one school and is now expanding across the country. He sees these as the biggest elements of success so far: building a nationwide community of educators and resources, prioritizing teachers’ happiness and empowerment, and embracing social media and technology.
Learning Forward is the only professional association devoted exclusively to those who work in educator professional development. We help our members plan, implement, and measure high-quality professional learning so they can achieve success with their systems, schools, and students.
