Embracing learner-centric education without the constraints of a franchise
In a bold stride towards the future of education, Dreamtime Learning, known for its work in micro-schooling, has unveiled an initiative – ‘Powered by Dreamtime Learning‘ or “Powered by DTL”. This initiative introduces a customized and personalized curriculum model, tailored to empower future schools with technological advancements.
Conceived with the core principles of Futuristic Education, encompassing Brain & Behavioral Science, Entrepreneurial & Growth Mindset, and Social-Emotional Intelligence, this curriculum stands out for its flexibility, devoid of franchise norms or additional costs.
The conventional franchise model in education has long been associated with constraints such as limited flexibility, increased expenses, inconsistent quality, and a diminishing sense of community. Ms. Lina Ashar, a distinguished educationist with over three decades of experience since her pioneering work at Kangaroo Kids & Billabong High School, recognized the urgency to break free from these confines and embrace modernization. Her brainchild, ‘Powered by DTL’, draws inspiration from international standard curricula and employs a gamified approach that fosters self-mastery. In harmony with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, it incorporates an advanced Learning Management System (LMS) for enhanced learning experiences.
Going beyond curriculum enhancement, this model equips schools with comprehensive teacher training programs and access to pedagogical upgrades, both on micro and macro levels.
Ms Lina Ashar, Founder of Dreamtime Learning, said, “In an era marked by rapid advancements in AI, robotics, 3D printing, AR/VR, and biotech, it’s crucial to question: Are our schools truly equipping our children for this future? India is on the urge to transform the education ecosystem by adapting personalized learning concepts, however many schools persist with outdated ‘teach to the test’ methods, and focusing on information, which is already, obsolete. By focusing on and developing a dynamic environment for learners that align with their individual interests and preferences, it is also imperative to encourage schools as well as futuristic institutions to boost a new horizon. PoweredbyDTL integrates cutting-edge technological resources and a tailored approach driven by a futuristic curriculum. It also eliminates the franchise model for the school and thereby making the school owner the real Brand Owner. We need to move with the times and create a learning ecosystem that creates future professionals and citizens who can compete and flourish anywhere in the world.”
Dr. Swati Popat Vats, President, Early Childhood Association, said, “Dreamtime Learning’s vision for education is to make it a lifelong journey and future enabled for the kids. I am extremely delighted as President, Early Childhood Association to be a part of such a revolutionary initiative by Dreamtime Learning that will not only revolutionize the way we approach education but also help adapt it to the rapidly changing, technologically advanced world. The aim to provide learners with the necessary skills, competencies and flexibility to thrive in any future venture is the need of the hour. This also encourages future schools to create a distinguished platform for learners”.
This curriculum-based model signifies a pivotal shift in the landscape of education, offering a dynamic and adaptable curriculum supported by a comprehensive Learning Management System. ‘Powered by Dreamtime Learning’ will focus on preparing learners of all ages for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
