how works
The school uses a powerful curriculum developed
by iDiscoveri, a leading organization working in the
area of helping children learn better through teacher
training, curriculum development and leadership
education.
The program has been built on extensive research and iDiscoveri’s experience of
working with over 400 school heads, 1000 teachers and 30,000 children. The curriculum
development team comprises of former teachers from some of the leading schools in the
country as well as alumni of Harvard, Cambridge, CIE and IIM’s. Validated by research,
iDiscoveri’s research found that:
Called, XSEED, the program helps implement
innovative teaching and experiential learning in
classrooms that challenges current standards and
raises the bar on teaching and learning. It uses
experiential and research based methods to ensure
all children can understand all concepts taught
at school. It is based on the National Curriculum
Framework –2005 (NCF) and meets the guidelines
of the Central Board of Secondary Education. At
the same time, it also draws from some leading
international curricula across the world and hence
is a truly contemporary program. A comprehensive
program, it covers all aspects that go into ensuring
exceptional quality of teaching and learning in a
classroom- Starting right from teacher training,
Instructional Leader’s training, experience based
lessons, stimulating workbooks for children and
finally an assessment system that gives parents and
teachers a clear picture of child’s learning.
XSeed delivers better learning, empowers greater application Students showed
greater improvement on both direct (recall based) and application (understanding based)
questions. On the latter, XSeed students improved by 32%, compared to just 18% for
conventional-classroom students.
XSeed ensures that each child learns The performance of the lower 50% of the class
went up by a remarkable 63% compared to 31%in a conventional
classroom.
(Research was
based on control
and experimental
group study on
Grade 5 students
in a science topic)
XSeed empowers each Teacher to deliver
innovative teaching
XSeed teachers were found to promote
greater hands-on learning and
collaboration between students than
traditional teachers.

“iDiscoveri came to our school to teach a skeptical group of teachers and administrators.
After the learning experience, even the most hardboiled amongst us admitted this was the
‘Best Teacher’s Training’ they ever had!” Kanti Bajpai Headmaster, The Doon School
“My colleagues who attended the Exercising Leadership in Schools and Teacher
Empowerment Programme sessions have learnt to do away with the word “impossible” and
to channelise the courage within themselves to take a step into the unknown. Meeting
Principals and senior teachers from other schools has widened their horizons. We are a
little school and for us it is always good to check on what is going on in the outside world.”
