Abstract
In 2008 we had a review of the Child Friendly
School initiative which had started in Surpur, an
underdeveloped and underserved area of NEK
in 2005, with the objective of quality education
to all children in a child friendly atmosphere. We
were working in the block consisting 300 plus
schools in 5 areas – 1. School environment, 2.
Classroom environment, 3. Teaching learning
process, 4. Teacher academic development and 5.
Community participation. The review threw up the
fact that among the five areas the most neglected
areas were teacher academic development and
community participation. Our deeper analysis on
these review results made it clear that without
teacher academic development nothing significant
in education could be done. Hence, our focus for the
next phase was on teacher academic development
or teacher professional development. After a lot of
deliberations and exposure, Mela or Baal– Mela and
Teacher Learning Centers (TLC) were two approaches
on which we concentrated.
