PARaM is a framework designed by 321 to make a sizable, meaningful contribution towards solving the foundational literacy and numeracy problem in the country. ur Teacher Capacity Building Program is an in-classroom, teacher-led program focused on achieving grade-level foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) outcomes for students in primary grades.
The program is hybrid in nature and leverages technology to build the capacity of teachers and ensure consistent monitoring and evaluation of teachers’ efforts and student learning. It is a combination of predominantly online teacher training & support, interspersed with a few on-site interventions.
The program purports to create an army of FLN proficient teachers who are able to help each and every child achieve grade-level proficiency in English and Math. We aim to reach and impact half a million students in the next 3-5 years. The program stands on four pillars - Prepare, Assess, Remediate and Motivate - to deliver student learning outcomes.
The incorporation of technology in the capacity building of teachers through online content and tools is transforming the way teachers teach and students learn. A teacher who is comfortable with the usage of technology for her professional development is also capable of engaging students more dynamically. It is clear that teachers plus technology are playing a critical role in the future of education, and they will continue to shape the way we learn and grow.

321's FLN Remedial Learning Program is an educational framework crafted to address foundational gaps in English and Mathematics for students in Grades 1 through 8. Developed by educators and curriculum specialists, this curriculum offers a practical solution to the challenges students face in mastering critical competencies in these subjects.
Key Features :
Workbooks: The curriculum provides workbooks for Grades 1-3 and Grades 4-8, focusing on English and Mathematics. These workbooks are meticulously designed to cover foundational concepts progressively, facilitating mastery for all students.

Teacher Guides: Accompanying each workbook are comprehensive teacher guides with detailed lesson plans aligned with the worksheets' content. These plans integrate best practices in language and math pedagogy, equipping educators with the tools to support student learning effectively.

Step-by-Step Mastery: Unlike traditional textbooks, the 321's FLN Remedial Curriculum ensures step-by-step mastery by scaffolding learning experiences and gradually releasing responsibility to students. This fosters a deep and enduring understanding of core concepts.

Customised Practice: The workbooks offer customised practice tailored to students' levels, allowing them to consolidate their learning and progress independently. This personalised approach ensures every student receives the necessary support to succeed.

Transition to Higher Levels: Completion of the Grade 1-3 workbook prepares students for Grade 2 level proficiency in English and Mathematics, while the Grade 4-8 workbook readies them for Grade 5 level proficiency. This sets students up for success in subsequent grades.

Some key addressable challenges based on our surveys of the schools in the districts, and discussions with government stakeholders are :
● Unequal distribution of teachers across schools, resulting in schools with just 1-2 teachers or multigrade classrooms.
● Teachers receive training, but this does not result in significant improvement in classroom practices.
● Data on student learning and other metrics is getting collected and collated effectively, but this is not utilised for ground-level decision making.
3.2.1 Education Foundation's District Level program addresses the challenges mentioned above towards improving FLN outcomes and teaching practices at the district level through
● Capacity building of district-level officials (CRCs, CACs, BRCs)
● Appointing and building the capacity of contract teachers to address the teacher shortage
