The 20% with ARISE
20% of your work-time as part of ARISE will be allotted for collaborative learning in the initial months. This will later evolve into an opportunity, as an individual, to investigate a new idea – to innovate, to create. There are three primary focus areas you could explore that can directly contribute to the project:
- Student learning and leadership
- School Leadership & School Culture
- Teacher Efficacy & Effective Teaching-Learning Process
- Parent & Community Engagement
This would help identify your area of interest and explore learning opportunities, something that will contribute towards your self-development and career growth in the long run.
