Welcome to the 83rd issue of our newsletter! Each month we try to
bring you a wide range of information and give you a glimpse of
interesting practices in the field. Some of you have been kind enough
to send us feedback. We would like more of you to come forth and share
your views and suggestions to make the ASSETScope experience a more
wholesome one. Looking forward to hearing from many more of you!
[2]Teacher's Bite
[Aug12_image2.jpg]
Mrs. Dr. T. Sudha,
Principal, Delhi Public School, Secunderabad / Nacharam
"There are many updates in each facet of life and we must ensure that
the teacher can never go without adequate updates in the subject which
she gains only during in- service training."
"Teachers many a time, stay isolated and do not discuss the problem
they face in teaching. Discussing issues with other teachers who may
offer workable solutions would help every person."
[3]Assessments - the tablet way
Where the new age students are using tablets for fun, games and music,
there are some iconic schools that are gearing up to using these very
tablets to assess their students. With this innovative assessment tool
- Detailed Assessment (DA), over 80 schools across the country will be
able to conduct year round assessment using technology interventions
like computers, mobile phones and tablets.
[4]Can We Learn Better?
We have no tests to assess the depth of learning; no marks for the
creative use of learning. If our teaching methods are poor then our
testing methods are no better. So how can we impart good quality
education? A few generations of students have passed through our
school system. The problem has long been recognized but we have not
been able to solve it.

[6]My experience with Duke TIP
[7][Aug12_image5.jpg]
My experience with Duke TIP has been incredible and I deeply miss all
the friends I made there. I thoroughly enjoyed the program and wish
that Duke TIP had a similar program for eighth graders too! Through
the Duke TIP 2012 program, I was able to meet, for the first time, so
many academically talented outstanding students.
This program is excellent and I would recommend this program to my
junior schoolmates.

young people and deeply engage with a set of schools and colleges in
making sustainability a core educational concern. The schools and
colleges are identified based on written submissions by teams of
