2. About Edspectrum and Akshara Edspectrum Foundation is a non-profit organisation working to reduce barriers of access, awareness and capacity in education. It designs learning-focused programmes for children, teachers, parents and communities so that children receive meaningful opportunities to learn, participate and progress.
Akshara is an English skill-building programme for middle-school students from government and low-income school contexts. Many students are in higher grades but still face gaps in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Akshara helps students build usable English through structured classes, repeated practice, assessments, classroom evidence, AI-IVRS speaking and listening practice, and school engagement.
The programme supports students to introduce themselves, ask and answer questions, describe people and experiences, read short texts, speak with confidence, write simple responses and gradually use English with less teacher prompting.
3. Role Purpose The Teacher Champion will conduct structured English-learning sessions for assigned students and help them participate, practise and improve in English.
The role includes classroom teaching, lesson preparation, learner support, student evidence collection, assessment support, AI-IVRS participation support, documentation, school-stakeholder relationships, monthly school update meetings and identification of school-based English-practice opportunities that can continue even when Edspectrum is not present.
The Teacher Champion must participate in assigned trainings, workshops, step-backs, review meetings and learning opportunities. This is an assigned-school implementation role and does not carry ownership of programme strategy, curriculum design, cross-school leadership or organisation-wide reporting.
