Evaluation Study: Teaching with Technology
This report presents the findings of an evaluation study on the Teaching with Technology (TWT) program, a technology-based intervention implemented in public schools of the Nashik Zilla Parishad. The program aimed to bridge student learning gaps by integrating technology into classrooms and providing teacher support through a one-to-one tech variant model, combining this with specific classroom and teacher support practices. It sought to address challenges such as providing level-based teaching and equipping teachers with the necessary tech skills and classroom management strategies.
