CWC’s three part solution framework is operationalized through an initiative called the District Education Transformation Program in the Tumakuru and Madhugiri educational districts. It has been named as “Sanchalana” by the education department in these two districts.
The DETP program tries to improve the quality of teaching methods adopted by the teachers by improving the factors that impact teaching quality both at a classroom level as well as the education department ecosystem level.

Focus on improving teacher skillset, mindset, and provision of good quality teaching resources that will help teachers adopt experiential teaching methods
Department factors
Collaborate with the education department to improve practices used to train and mentor teachers along with improving the processes used to monitor and support the implementation of experiential teaching methods
