=== '''Teachers feedback summary about TIIE implementation in 4 Schools''' ===
 +
Even though It was challenging to involve the Teachers completely while during the sessions because of various reasons as mentioned below in their feedback, few teachers participated in some of our sessions and have given their valuable feedback on our sessions to help us improve upon further.

The challenges faced by teachers during the initial days of the academic year were lack of concentration, behavior issues, difficulty in reading and writing, inhibition to answer,health problems etc., The sessions conducted as part of the project TIIE was satisfactory as it had indicated positive impact on children inhibition to participate, control their distracting behavior, ability to take up an initiative to do the tasks over the year, and their level of confidence has improved over the year and it helped children to develop interest towards learning. Few teachers have mentioned specific examples of few children and how it had impacted on their participation and behavior. All teachers liked the sessions because of two important factors, one was the activities conducted in the sessions like story telling, asking children to draw about the story they listened, language games, dice games and activities strengthening basic literacy and numeracy skills. And secondly, the strategies that were  integrated as part of the session like group work, individual attention, focussing on each and every child, working individually with the child who has difficulty in learning, demonstrating care and concern towards children. They shared positive feedback for digital literacy sessions saying that it has exhibited positive impact on children ability to use and work on computer independently and setting up a computer lab in a govt. school function effectively helps children to expose to a digital world. Few teachers were of the opinion that the session had benefited not just students but teachers as well. They shared some of the instances of children coming to them and share about it as well as sharing among-st themselves where children had expressed their eagerness to participate in the sessions, enjoy being in the session, never want to miss the session, being able to understand better by mentioning the strategies and activities like Math games, language games and exploring maths concepts and story telling using computer were mentioned. Few teachers expressed their resentment to not be able to use these strategies because of the limit of time and pressure to complete syllabus.

Some of the reasons that the teachers shared for not being able to be part of the session were assigning some administrative works to them during session, need to engage other classes, pressure to complete the pending work, etc,. Teachers expressed their desire for continued engagement with the school with the following suggestions/recommendations:
 +
 +
* Involving Teachers in classroom sessions, discussion about classroom plans with teachers
 +
* Extending the scope of work to Lower grades
 +
* Focussing on other subjects like Science, Social, spoken english and Kannada
 +
* Activities aligned with textbook/ syllabus
 +
* Orientation sessions for teachers on Digital Literacy
 +
* Classroom resources for teaching
