Learning Curve Foundation

Learning Curve Life Skills Foundation is a not for profit organization based in Hyderabad, India, which is rooted in the belief that social-emotional learning is a core component of a child’s growth, and particularly in under resourced environments this can greatly enable equitable adulthood and eventually life outcomes. The approach is to bring this to classrooms through the teachers – empowering teachers through self-development and mentoring, and enabling them to translate this in the classroom through structured and age-relevant social-emotional curriculum and toolkits. Progress of teachers, children and classrooms is carefully documented and evaluated using a set of established tools and frameworks – through a structured evaluation process, the program demonstrated that over 60% of teachers in the first year showed improvements in their social-emotional competencies, classroom delivery and classroom engagement, and close to 85% of all children enrolled showed improvements in social-emotional parameters over the baseline. In the current academic year, Learning Curve has partnered with 90 under resourced schools in Hyderabad and 20 schools in Chennai impacting close to 26,000 children and 700 teachers.
