The Lightning Bolt That is 'WATIS'
Wipro Applying Thought in Schools (WATIS) aims at (re)training teachers and school heads. It started the process by first creating a coalition of 20 partners -leading educational organizations that brought expertise in new teaching methodology and training, but with divergent ideologies and methods. Then WATIS created a funding program that subsidized schools to invest in training programs provided by this national network of WATIS partner organizations.
The training programs include content on making teaching more experiential, ways to enrich curriculum, personal growth and leadership skills. In a short span of five years, WATIS and its partners have affected thousands of teachers and school heads through their Teacher Empowerment Program (TEP) and Exercising Leadership in Schools (ELS). While the impact of these programs are beginning to be felt in schools, it has brought forth a latent need to invest continuously in the learning and well-being of teachers.n
