For a resource to be effective, it has to allow for feedback and continuous improvement from practitioners. The curricular resource creation is thus the process as well as the objective of teacher professional development.

The resource creation will build on the collaborative peer networks built by the STF and CALC programmes. These networks can both build and be built out of the shared objective of resource creation. One of the challenges of the Indian education system is the geographical isolation faced by the teachers. Collaborative, peer networks built around the context of resource creation will address this challenge. The digital and networked community can also help redefine identities of subject teachers and consequently impact the learning processes of their students. This will also address the need for teachers to relate to one another to discuss and challenge one another's beliefs and dispositions, making explicit folk pedagogies and holding them to reason in the very spirit of scientific method, making explicit hidden curriculum, engage with the school administration and challenges in the school teaching learning processes.<br><br>
