Let's ReThink Education

For too long have we been taught and been teaching to test. Such education, that is only concerned with the grade of an exam, fails our children! We need to do better.

We need to rethink how we teach.

We need to rethink how students learn.

We need to ReThink Education!

ReThink Education Certification Program has been created with a mission to provide progressive training to educators, school leaders and school systems.

Reimagine What It Means to Teach and Learn

The ReThink Education Certification Program, an initiative by the Ekya Professional Development Institute, Bangalore, is a three-month blended learning experience designed to empower both aspiring and practicing educators. With 58 hours of transformative learning, this program supports educators in refining their practice through the lens of 21st-century skills, child-centered pedagogy, and holistic student development.

Launched in November 2022, ReThink is more than a certification. It is a journey of reflection, innovation, and growth. Through interactive modules, collaborative discussions, and hands-on activities, educators develop the mindset, knowledge, and strategies needed to create inclusive, engaging, and future-ready classrooms.

Whether you’re just starting your teaching journey or seeking to deepen your impact, ReThink equips you to lead learning with purpose, empathy, and intention.

As a newcomer to teaching, the ReThink Education Program deepened my understanding of evolving educational approaches. Upon joining the Ekya community post the program, I found the learnings invaluable. I would definitely recommend this course to educators and those venturing into the education sector.

Throughout the course, my enthusiasm for teaching soared as I was exposed to a wealth of strategies, methodologies, and techniques for creating successful classrooms.

I enjoyed doing activities during sessions and then applied each discussion's learning in my rethink capstone project. It helped me a lot in my daily teaching and enhanced my experience as an Ekya teacher as well.

The Program was a truly transformative journey. Stepping into an educator’s role, I explored my educational philosophy, sharpened facilitation skills, and engaged in insightful peer discussions. Highly recommended!

Despite being new to the teaching profession it was easier for me to understand all the topics and I didn't feel out of place. The course is very well designed to provide the right information on lesson planning, classroom management and instruction.
