Shaikh Hazra: Transforming Classroom Dynamics in Mumbai’s Public Schools
By applying cooperative learning strategies such as Jigsaw and Gallery Walk, Shaikh Hazra, a BMC teacher, turned once noisy classrooms into active learning communities.
BMC teacher Shaikh Hazra describes ABEA’s Project Samarth as a defining shift in her teaching practice. By applying cooperative learning strategies such as Jigsaw and Gallery Walk, she turned once noisy classrooms into active learning communities where students collaborated, reflected, and took responsibility for their learning.
The programme also supported her in building effective rubrics, improving assessments and nurturing leadership among students. Hazra’s experience highlights Samarth’s core impact: empowering teachers so they can create meaningful change for every child.
