Working towards a world where teachers love teaching and children love learning.
About us
Education systems today must prepare every child, everywhere, to thrive in an increasingly complex world. STiR Education is an international NGO that supports education systems to reignite intrinsic motivation so that every child, teacher and official is motivated to learn and improve. Our vision is a world where teachers love teaching and children love learning. Since 2012, STiR has reached 200,000 teachers and 6 million children, through supporting the national education system in Uganda and three state education systems in India (Delhi, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu). We're also working on our expansion plans in both Indonesia and Ethiopia. There have been exciting signs of success: for example, early findings from our longitudinal study have shown that core routines to support officials and teachers were already in place and happening at relatively high quality after just one year. By 2025, STiR aims to reach 25 million children across at least six countries.

Teacher voice matters. Teacher beliefs matter. But do we really understand why? In this excellent blog, Luis Benveniste and Benjamin Piper make the case for the role of teacher voice in fostering meaningful pedagogical change in the classroom. Why is this so important? The very nature of teaching provides an answer. Teaching requires 'adaptive expertise'. This means that teachers have to use their professional judgement to decide how to meet the needs of the learners in front of them. The precise dynamics of these needs across 15, 30 or 100 children will vary infinitely. Teachers' decision-making can therefore not be pre-defined. Teachers will only consistently engage in this demanding endeavour if they care. That is why we need to look beyond technocratic approaches to behaviour change. We must think about how to foster motivation. https://lnkd.in/eFWNqwrm John McIntosh Jenny Willmott Nancy Clark Shruti Singh Mark Butcher Jobin Thomas Neha Gehlot MODERN KAREMA MUSIIMENTA, MBA Yoni Nurdiansyah Resiana R.

Working at the intersection of motivation, behaviour and learning. Sharing my thoughts along the way.
How do we enact deep change in education? A thought-provoking article from Brad Olsen, Molly Curtiss Wyss and Maya Elliott at The Brookings Institution argues that we need to think holistically and learn to marry often disparate frameworks - in this case scaling for impact and systems transformation. As the authors rightly remind us, we must think ecosystemically: 'the gears of each part will always engage with and move other parts: they do not move independently.' There are not many who would dispute the underpinning theory here. The difficulty is in the practice. Different actors in the system are not rewarded for the performance of the whole, but for improving a discrete set of outcomes that can somehow be traced back to their own efforts. At times, that incentivises outright competition rather than collaboration. We've been doing a lot of soul-searching on this at STIR Education. We've been thinking long and hard about what we can do differently to ensure that we are part of the solution when it comes to deep change in education. As per our values, we certainly don't have all the answers upfront, but we have some thoughts that we'll be sharing in the coming weeks and months. Watch this space... https://lnkd.in/ecDVQVGu
