Through the training, teachers explored more effective ways to deliver lessons, keep students engaged, and assess understanding in the classroom. The program also focused on building teacher identity—supporting educators in seeing themselves as confident and capable mentors.
Curriculum mapping enabled teachers to plan their lessons in a more structured and intentional way, bringing greater clarity to their teaching process.
By strengthening teachers’ ability to deliver content in English, the program aims to expand opportunities for students in the classroom and beyond.
As part of strengthening classroom delivery, the Pathways to Success team initiated a teacher training program focused on English as the Medium of Instruction (EMI).
The structured online training began in February, engaging 10 teachers across 13 sessions.
The program focused on key areas such as pedagogy, confidence building, teacher identity, and curriculum mapping. A pre-assessment was conducted to understand the teachers’ English proficiency levels and tailor the sessions accordingly.
This first ever training marks an important step forward for the Pathways to Success program.
At Hi 5, we know that to truly transform a student’s journey, we must support the mentors who guide them. The training aimed to enable teachers to effectively deliver academic content using English as the Medium of Instruction (EMI).
For the first time, Pathways has initiated a teacher training program and developed content based on EMI. A structured online training program began in February, engaging 10 teachers across 13 sessions.
The training covered pedagogy, teacher identity, confidence building, and curriculum mapping. To ensure the training was as effective as possible, a pre-assessment was conducted to evaluate the teachers’ English proficiency levels.

Teachers in the Sphoorti Foundation practised pedagogy, which basically means learning the best way to teach. They learnt how to make lessons more exciting, how to keep their students focused and mainly how to know if their students understood. We believe that when a teacher feels confident, their students feel confident too.
This program helped teachers build their identity, helping them to see themselves as professional mentors. Through curriculum mapping, the teachers learned how to plan their lessons step-by-step.
By strengthening the teachers’ ability to teach in English, we are indirectly opening new doors for our students. This first-ever training marks a new chapter for the Hi 5 program’s ‘Pathways to Success’.
