IAAT holds an annual placement event every year in January, and all participants are placed at the end of the event in schools and organisations across the city. Most of our students receive multiple offers, and schools find themselves in the unenviable situation of having to wait and watch while a decision is made and possibly lose a perfect candidate.
In an attempt to further its mission of collaborative practices and create a vibrant and committed community of teachers across the region, IAAT extended an invitation to select schools to engage as a Placement Partner.
As Placement Partner, schools are offered the chance to be a part of the student's journey - being part of the selection process to the PGDLT Program with a view to identifying individuals who would be a fit for their school as faculty. The leadership at the school are involved and privy to the candidate's profile and able to watch them grow into accomplished teachers. They are also offered the rare opportunity to train the new hire within the school for a month before they come on-board as full-time faculty.
Nahar Group, a leading Mumbai-based real estate developer, launched Nahar International School, in June 2014. Inside its sprawling 125-acre township Nahar Amrit Shakti at Chandivali in Andheri East, the ideology for Nahar International School is based on the paradigm shift of ‘Learning by Doing’. The school infrastructure is aesthetically designed to support learning inside and outside the classroom.
For the academic year 2019 - 2020, Nahar came on-board as the first placement partner in Mumbai. Nahar took part in and identified 2 residents. Selected residents would go through the programme at IAAT, practising & learning at the residency school. Their progress would be shared periodically with Nahar International along with the year-old portfolio.
As long as the resident fulfils all the course requirements, they would be guaranteed a full-time position at the school upon graduation.
Every year, around a third of the teachers passing out of the PGDLT program, are absorbed by the school and are consistently appreciated by program leader, peers, students and parents. They also tend to grow in seniority at a pace that often belies their lack of years’ of experience.
In its first year of partnership (2019 - 2020), HXLS selected 5 residents. Selected candidates signed an MoU with the school, committing to work for a minimum of two years after Graduation at the Heritage Xperiential Learning School./p>
