The CLR guides teachers in the preparation of
their own low-cost teaching-learning materials, as part of its
inservice training programmes.
We also develop and publish a variety
of teaching-learning materials based on the needs expressed by
preschool centres, schools and non-formal education programmes.
Prototypes are tried out in classrooms and the feedback from
this process is incorporated into the final design of our published
materials.
All our materials are low-cost and promote active
learning. They help to develop important early concepts, thinking
and reasoning abilities, as also reading and mathematical skills.
They are designed for use in pre-primary, elementary and supplementary
education programmes - both rural and urban - and lend themselves
to multi-grade, multi-level classes as self-learning or group-learning
materials. Many teachers and parents are also using them with
slow learners and children who need step-by-step remedial help.
Available
in Marathi, English, and some in Hindi and other regional languages.
