Profile bio
About Priyank Sharma
I'm an educator, researcher (NIEPA), counsellor (NCERT), social worker (TISS) and an engineer (NIT). I have been working, reading, writing, presenting, talking, and publishing in different domains of education. Currently, I am working as a Faculty with Indus Training and Research Institute where I train teachers of IB and Cambridge boards.I have done extensive fieldwork, literature review & research to understand different aspects of education. From ancient education pedagogy to factory schooling, from pedagogical innovations to assessment models and from colonial legacy to independent govt policy reforms, I have tried to build a keen and deep understanding on the what, why and how of our education system. I have publications (see below) in both UGC refereed and Scopus Indexed Journals. I have worked with national & international organizations to help them in strategy, operations, academics, research and product development. I have worked on creating edtech products on curriculum & instruction and learning science research. And, I have been on the review board of one of the world's largest edtech competitions. Also, I have travelled across the country visiting different alternative schools/learning centres. I have looked closely at multiple innovative & inclusive pedagogical practices; for instance, I have been to a school where there is no grade-wise division of students, a school where students learn math & music together, a space where children with & without disabilities sit together and learn, and also a college where you don't need a 12th class certificate to get in & you also don't get a degree when you graduate.As a researcher, I never wanted research to sit on paper; therefore, I keep using my research to curate experimental ideas. In fact, I have been trying to develop a new pedagogical framework, and my own research has been on the side effects of education. Also, I am on the advisory board of two organizations: 1. CITTA India where we're working on building a rural school that empower rural communities in their own cultural context, and 2. CoLab where we're driving social change through research and evidence based initiatives.
