Reward & Recognition for teachers

To keep our teachers motivated and engaged and to appreciate their efforts we have initiated a weekly reward and recognition system in the state.

Each week, we recognize and reward the title of "Coder of the Week" to teachers who actively engage by creating and submitting the highest number of projects on Scratch Jr. Additionally, we acknowledge the dedication of teachers who conduct the maximum number of engaging classes in their schools with the "Champions of the Week" award. This approach not only encourages a spirit of healthy competition but also highlights and values the consistent efforts of educators in promoting digital literacy among students. Till now we have recognized more than 35 such teachers who have been rewarded with Coder of the Week and Champion Teachers of the Week awards. This recognition process, not only benefits the educators but also has a cascading effect on students, driving continuous growth and learning.

The primary objectives of these sessions were threefold: to instigate a paradigm shift in teachers' perspectives regarding the significance of digital literacy for students, introduce and provide training on block-based coding tools like Scratch Jr, and impart effective pedagogical strategies for teaching computer science in classrooms. The initial virtual training took the form of a summer coding camp, engaging 40 teachers during the summer break. This four-week- lon...
