What is Adhyayan?

 

Adhyayan Quality Education Services Pvt. Ltd. was started by school leaders and education consultants Kavita Anand and Spokey Wheeler, as a social enterprise to work with school leaders who are interested in creating 21st-century learning environments for every student.

Adhyayan works along with school leaders to embed a data-driven, quality assurance system that involves all stakeholders in the education ecosystem and targeted programmes in order to improve the quality of leadership and learning in schools and other educational spaces.

“Adhyayan” means studying (a text) so deeply, that the student is transformed in the process. 

Adhyayan believes that working in collaboration with leaders and owners of schools on stakeholder-inclusive self-review is a way of embedding reflective practice. The review against a framework provides evidence of "where you are" and provides a route for your "next best step" as a school, a leader and a teacher. 

While every school and its network are different, Adhyayan works with generic standards that are achievable by the smallest and remotest school as well as the one situated in the middle of a metro city and resourcing may be in the circle of concern for a school, the standards focus on the circle of influence that the leadership and governance can exercise. 

Therefore, any school in any circumstance can continuously improve to the best of its ability, and improve its impact on its students’ engagement, growth and achievement.
