XSEED teachers begin a class by clearly stating the

Letter from
Ashish Rajpal
I am delighted to share with you XSEED Stories - a selection of 25 letters
written to us by the leaders of XSEED member schools across the country
describing the impact XSEED had on their children.
Through real anecdotes from children, teachers and parents, these letters
paint a picture of what authentic learning actually looks like - children
experimenting with their own hands, solving real world problems, and
building the unafraid character needed to face life. They also prove that
when teachers are equipped with the right tools and support, they can
bring lessons to life in their classrooms.
Set in big cities and small towns, serving both the needy and the affluent
children and located at every nook and cranny of India, these stories
prove that context and resources do not limit progress.
XSEED has crossed an important milestone of reaching one million
children. While these numbers make us very happy, what makes us truly
proud is the visible impact XSEED has had on how children actually learn,
how teachers teach - as a result of which there is a huge improvement
in schools.
I invite you to take time to read these stories and experience the possibility
of unleashing the potential of every child we educate in our schools.
Do write to us (contact@xseededucation.com) with your thoughts and
feedback.
Warmly
Ashish Rajpal
Founder,

ANKUR PRIMARY AND HIGH SCHOOL

                                       Date:  21/12/2016  

               XSEED  has  a  unique  way  of  explaining  concepts,  making  it  easier  for  
children  to  understand  them,  be  it  Math  or  English.  Focusing  more  on  creative  
writing  in  English  is  helping  children  develop  good  communication  skills  and  
better  comprehension.  With  prior  knowledge  about  the  strands,  we  can  
standardize  teaching  methodologies  and  teachers  can  give  proper  instructions  
to  the  students.      

         A  fine  example  of  how  activities  are  enabling  learning,  is  when  Grade  6  
students  were  trying  to  measure  the  angles  of  a  given  triangle  with  the  
purpose  of  deducing  that  the  sum  of  the  angles  is  180  degrees.  They  were  
measuring  the  angles  wrongly  and  were  unable  to  draw  the  right  conclusion.  
The  teacher  had  an  idea,  stemming  from  lesson  plans  where  students  had  used  
straws  to  make  angles.  The  teacher  took  a  long  straw  and  asked  the  students  
to  identify  the  angle  and  its  measure.  They  immediately  said  that  it  was  a  
straight  angle  measuring  180  degrees.  Then  she  asked  them  what  would  
happen  if  this  straight  angle  were  bent  make  a  triangle?  The  students  
immediately  answered  that  180  degrees  gets  divided  among  the  three  angles  
of  the  triangle.    

                     Each  lesson  plan  in  XSEED  suits  the  three  types  of  learners  –  visual,  
auditory  and  kinesthetic.  It  makes  the  learner  to  think  and  apply  the  concept  in  
real  life  situations.  It  also  gives  them  an  opportunity  to  take  on  higher  
challenges.  

With  Regards

Dear  XSeed  Team,  
 
It’s   our   fourth   “XSeed   year”   at   RVG   Matric   and   the   amazement   of   the   initial   days’   occasional   sparks,   when   we  
would   be   “surprised”   at   what   an   XSeed   lesson   plan   could   bring   out   in   the   classroom,   has   given   way   to   the  
sense   of   achievement   of   tangible   long   term   results.   Shared   clarity   of   purpose,   deep   understanding   of  
concepts,   focus   on   application,   higher   order   thinking,   confidence   in   expression   and   effective   class  
management  have  become  our  norm.  Our  students  revel  in  a  methodology  that  puts  them  at  the  center,  is  
fun,   though   relevant,   and   introduces   them   to   cooperative   learning   strategies.   Our   teachers   enjoy   the  
scaffolding  of  a  well  structured  curriculum,  the  detailed  support  of  the  lesson  plans  and  an  assessment  system  
well  aligned  with  the  learning  outcomes.  Our  parents  are  ecstatic  at  the  awakening  of  the  inquisitive  spirit  in  
their  children  and  grateful  that  such  methodology  has  been  made  available  to  rural  children  in  a  village  school.  
 
To  share  a  few  of  their  many  stories:  
Mother  of  UKG  child:  “My  daughter  wants  to  do  everything  by  herself  and  won’t  let  me  help!”  
Mother   of   VII   grade:   “The   method   of   colours   they’ve   used   for   algebra   is   very   clear,   so   my   daughter   is  
explaining  it  to  our  neighbor  of  VIII  standard”.  
Father  of  V  grade:  “After  the  lesson  on  earning  and  savings,  my  son  explained  to  me  how  to  divide  my  income  
and  keep  some  aside  for  savings  and  balance  for  spending”.  
Father  of  III  grade:  “Once  I  was  saying  that  the  Sun  moves  from  East  to  West  and  my  daughter  corrected  me  
that  it’s  the  Earth  that  moves  and  not  the  Sun!”  
Parent  of  VII  grade:  “Our  bulbs  at  home  were  getting  fused  very  often  and  my  son  suggested  we  put  a  circuit  
breaker  in  the  line  to  avoid  this  problem”.  
 
From  a  leadership  point  of  view,  XSeed  is  the  best  partner  for  a  learning  organization:  while  being  scientifically  
grounded   in   the   latest   pedagogic   research   and   systematically   designed   to   provide   a   guaranteed   curriculum,  
the   XSeed   non-­‐threatening,   coaching-­‐like   teachers’   monitoring   and   feedback   system   provides   the   faculty   with  
an  ongoing  and  inspiring  growing  opportunity.  Each  teacher  is  equipped  with  very  practical  actions  to  take  to  
class   (instead   of   generic   and   difficult   to   apply   guidelines)   and   set   for   success,   which   is   in   itself   the   most  
powerful  motivating  force  behind  excellent  performance!  
 
Our   successful   partnership   with   XSeed   wouldn’t   have   been   half   as   smooth   without   the   competent   and  
encouraging  mediation  of  our  education  coaches  to  which  we  are  extremely  grateful.  
 
Truly  yours
