For seeing a subject to subject example of research oriented learning for lower classes, refer to the Annexure I of this document.(Candidates are expected to have their own ideas and workable roadmaps on how research can be similarly integrated in the school from lower classes onwards.)

For better understanding of what we expect from candidates, please read Section 3

Section 3

EDUCATIONAL ROADMAPS - A SUBJECT WISE BREAKUP
- Mathematics- Candidates with research and academic exposures of their disciplines in areas of applied significance such as statistics, governance, economics , computational and machine learning is welcome. The candidate should have a similar view on how mathematics can be made an application and research based discipline for students from lower level classrooms onwards. Roadmaps should be grass-root, workable and not dead end experiments.

- English- People with exposure to literary fiction with a eye for experimental narrative models. People with reading exposure to cross linguistic translations (eg- Orhan Pamuk) and its challenges are welcome. The candidate should come up with roadmaps to show how translations as a tool can be used effectively to inculcate linguistic intelligence in children. The Candidate should have three books( of diverse literary models) with she is thorough with in terms of its narrative and linguistic models which can be used for their linguistic training in English.

- Computer science- a) Teachers with exposure and craft in design, video essaying, coding, data analysis. And interest to explore the application, design and development of computational technologies in areas of healthcare, neuroscience, Architecture etc. This helps in promoting a connected learning of other disciplines. All expert assistance needed for building a workable inquisitive roadmap suited for children can be mobilized for a great vision.

b) Video essaying as a means of learning and expressing worldview and ideas- See the videos of Vox to get a better understanding of how we expect video essaying and designs to made part of our academic research for children. The candidates are expected to tell us how this can be facilitated.

Suggested approaches to conceptual video essaying:
- Nerd writer
- Real engineering
- Vox

- Social Science- History, Economics and Geography.
a) The candidates should be well read and should have a deep understanding of public policy and governance and how the subjects and teaching can be structured in a way so as to bring nuanced understanding of Public Policy and governance in children. The candidates are requested to go through the curriculum of UPSC in understanding our academic expectation and its application in social science subjects in children.

b) Candidates should be well read and informed about the socio-political and economic paradigms in the emerging world. News exposure is vital. Candidates are suggested to follow

- The Hindu
- Project Syndicate
- Economic and political weekly
- The scroll
- Vox ( video platform)
- Nerd writer (Video Platform)
- Seminar Magazine

- Physics: Refer to Annexure 1
- Chemistry : Refer to Annexure 1
- Biology: Refer to Annexure 1
Candidates who are referred to Annexure 1 should come up with innovation based research models to explore their academic streams for children from 3rd standard onwards. This if accepted will be integrated into your teaching plan.

FORMALISING THE APPROACHES

Along with teaching, another important responsibility of teachers is to be fully involved in Academic reforms committee of Sandepani in association with WHI (Women empowerment and human resource development centre of India).

Academic reforms committee is the educational reform wing of Sandepani which is supported by WHI, the parent organization of Sandepani school and affiliated to ECOSOC of UN.

As a member of Academic reforms committee, the teacher has the responsibility to:
- To prepare research centric roadmaps on various areas of academic curriculum.
- To enable children to bring their own innovation through research.
- Exposures to various databases, competitions, research grants, seminars etc which the children with the specific interests and research orientation can utilize.
- Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation of their research initiatives and their interest areas and linkages with skill opportunities outside School.
- Carefully documenting the experiments and its improvements over the time for future students.

ANNEXURE I
Bhagya, a member of Sandepani School's Academic reforms committee is known among the scientific circles for her contribution in finding 2 species of algae which was previously unknown to us. Her research is in the area of finding out unique bimolecular characteristics of these organisms and finding out their industrial application which offers solutions to modern day problems. Two unique properties of these microorganisms have been found to have environmentally sustainable application in areas of cosmetics, food security and healthcare.

However, many researchers including Bhagya is of the opinion that the act of going to a ecologically diverse area, collecting samples, analyzing its bimolecular properties is something that can be started even from 5th standard onwards if we equip people in the areas of research methodology and consistently guide them.

As a result, we are in the process of formalizing such a roadmap where the children will be equipped to research into innovative application of biological properties of microorganisms. The learning sequence and structure will have to be altered in this manner for almost everything in the text book.

The Academic reforms committee is undertaking a similar task that applies to the whole of syllabus which will be a game changer for education of children for the coming ages.
