TI, CORE delivers STEM Solution for Indian Schools
With the launch of Texas Instruments (TI) Education Technology business in India, TI and CORE Education and Technologies Ltd. has announced that they are joining forces to bring a new way of teaching and learning math and science to middle and secondary schools throughout India. The joint effort combines TI's education technology solution with CORE's content, teacher education and support to form one integrated solution called STEMpower.
Utilizing TI-NspireTM technology by TI, STEMpower empowers teachers to take control of the classroom and save time. This solution connects the teacher's computer with every student's handheld device, leading to instant assessment. Teachers have more insight into the progress of each student, can personalize their teaching style to fit class needs, and promote student collaboration.
CORE is also said to provide consistent, quality teacher education to ensure that teachers know how to effectively use the technology. The teacher learning program will help them to update their pedagogy skills with the latest trends in classroom teaching methods.
Melendy Lovett, President, Texas Instruments Education Technology said, "At Texas Instruments, it is our mission to ensure that every student has an opportunity to stay engaged in learning math and science. As we team up with CORE to introduce STEMpower to the Indian education system, we are focused on providing an integrated, low overhead solution with the right set of tools and resources that educators and schools need to be successful in improving student achievement."
"At CORE we believe that an energized, empowered and enlightened mind can transform organizations, societies and nations. STEM is about more than just education - it is about our economic future. The viable jobs of the 21st century will require high degrees of STEM literacy, and if our communities don't have a STEM-literate workforce, those jobs can and will go elsewhere. Our association with Texas Instruments is an important step in bringing revolutions in teaching, learning and assessment of Math and Science in the Indian education space," said Sanjeev Mansotra, Chairman and Global CEO, CORE Education and Technologies Ltd.
