Across every block of each district, there are CRPs/BRPs/BIERTs, who support schools in their academic work. Aprt o=from collecting/distributing information with schools and organising teachers meetings and sharing teaching resources, they are also expected to observe classroom transactions and provide feedback and support to the teacher to make improvements while also appreciating the things that went well. The CRPs/BRPs must be able to access resources to help the teacher. This may be through linkages with the Cluster/Block Resource Group or the DIET.
