Recently, Orchidsrecruited around 200 IITians as teachingfaculties to expand its Orchids CareerFoundation Programme for the subjects of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematicspertaining to grades 6 through 12. These IITians are alumni of leading IITslike IIT Kanpur, IIT Mandi, IIT Bhubaneshwar. These IIT teachersshall not only be teaching but guiding the students in personal andprofessional development relating to the choice of proper careers, research, orentrepreneurship. Combining academic rigor with practical application andinculcating holistic development, Orchids believes these young IIT educatorswill help lay the foundation for a brighter future of the nation. The OCFP program atOrchids acts as a catalyst for the gap between lovers and non-lovers ofsubjects in STEM, and instills life-long interest in learning, unlocking thefull potential of every child. The program uniquely offers innovative teachingmethods and application-based learning. The faculty engages in variousactivities and demonstrations, helping the students apply theoretical knowledgein real life. The method allows most students to also succeed in school andpursue effective careers in STEM. Presently, OCFP has close to 100+ facultymembers across India. This expansion is a clear sign of the program’s successand the growing need for quality STEM education. Shlok Srivastava, Head of the Orchids Career FoundationProgram, explains: “IITgraduates bring a different dimension to the classroom. The deep-understandingand practicality of these STEM subjects, makes them furnish the students withmore comprehensive and nuanced learning of complex subjects. This comes inhandy, perhaps now more than ever, in schools, for these teachers equip thestudents with not just learning the content but also mentoring them towardbuilding a culture of thinking and problem-solving—mentors who build mindsetsof rigor, perseverance, and resilience within each student. Their presence isalso prompting a transition towards an interactive, student-centered learningenvironment. IITians will set new standards of quality in education and preparethe next generation of innovators and leaders in the field of science andtechnology.” Addingfurther Shlok, who is also an IIT alumni, said, “”IITiansbring that uniqueness in teaching apart from subject knowledge. Their exposureto an intense academic environment with a research-led culture enables them todevelop a love for inquiry and exploration of knowledge in the students. As afaculty, IITians can hence bridge the gap between theoretical understandingsand practical applications, making STEM learning more engaging andrelevant.” As Orchids TheInternational School continues to grow with the OCFP program, it holds firmlyto its holistic approach of raising champions with activities outside of theclassroom.
