Transformative empowerment

Through multifaceted support to teachers, alongside fostering partnerships and implementing practices for sustainable educational reforms, Centre for Intrinsic Motivation has been enhancing student learning outcomes

India's education system has made significant strides in increasing .enrollment rates, yet the nation faces a pressing challenge: poor learning outcomes among its children.

Despite efforts to improve access to education, many students struggle with fundamental skills such as reading, writing, and critical thinking.

The National Education Policy underscores the pivotal role of teachers in addressing these challenges. However, inadequate support and mentoring often hinder their effectiveness in the classroom, resulting in limited impact on student learning.

Centre for Intrinsic Motivation (CIM) is committed to improve student learning outcomes by prioritising teacher support and motivation. Since its inception in 2014, CIM, a flagship initiative of Schools and Teachers Innovating for Results (India), has focused on a behaviour change approach and built agency and mastery of teachers and education officials to improve the quality of education. CIM is actively working in Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka to empower teachers and students across these regions.

At the core of their strategy lies a deep commitment to enhancing the quality of education in government schools by prioritising teacher support and motivation. There is a recognition that motivated and empowered teachers are essential for driving meaningful change in the classroom.

Through collaborative partnerships with governments, educational institutions, and other stakeholders, CIM works to embed sustainable changes within the education ecosystem. CIM's approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and emphasises the importance of autonomy, mastery and purpose.

CIM envisions a world where children love learning and are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. Its mission is to cultivate intrinsic motivation in teachers and officials, leading to a transformative shift in the education system.
