We took the first decisive step by the launch of Post Graduate Diploma in Learning Teaching (PGDLT)at Gurgaon. Over a decade of working with teachers at The Heritage Schools had shown us how teachers aren’t merely the life and blood of schools, but of entire nations and civilisations. What were we to do with this massive realization? How were we going to share the learnings from this work with the wider world? How were we going to become the much needed catalysts of change in the education system? It seemed essential, it seemed inevitable; in an act of courage we took that first step and I Am A Teacher was born.

Furthering our vision, we have launched the Mumbai center in partnership with the American School of Bombay as our host school. Founded in 1981, the American School of Bombay has established itself as a premier international institution of K-12 learning. It upholds a belief in empowered teachers who are able to nurture thriving learning communities. By opening its classrooms to students of the PGDLT programme, ASB is strengthening its status as a professional learning centre that develops world class educators. 

Post Graduate Diploma in Learning and Teaching (PGDLT) is an innovative, practice-based, one-year full-time program for individuals interested in becoming agents who create deep and meaningful learning environments for children. Student teachers spend a year in the classrooms of the American School of Bombay (ASB) and simultaneously undertake carefully aligned sequence of coursework. Besides working alongside master teachers from The American School, aspiring teachers are also mentored and guided by a coach who help them draw meaningful connections between classroom and the latest in education theory and research.
