B4.3.2   Teaching-LearningàClass Leadership àClassroom organization and student engagement

Rating
A	Not Demonstrated	Evidence does not demonstrate efforts towards classroom organization and student engagement Teachers follow only the traditional whole-class instruction method. No group tasks are organized. Class monitors, if any, only follow instructions given by teachers, rather than being made responsible and aware of their duties. Students are barely engaged in the classroom instruction.
B	Developing	Classroom organization and student engagement is at a very basic level Group and individual tasks are few and rare, no evidence of challenging assignments and those with clearly-set outcomes. Students have been assigned responsibilities to make them responsible and aware of their duties, but responsibilities are only related to discipline maintenance and distribution/collection of notebooks.
C	Proficient	Teachers have made some attempts to create a satisfactory classroom organization and student engagement Teachers make sure to vary academic and social arrangement of students within the classrooms. Students have been assigned routine class responsibilities in monthly rotation, and are inducted in responsibilities through class SOPs. But there is no accountability and student leadership. There is a need for a good balance of whole class instruction/individual student work/homogeneous or heterogeneous groups, ability grouping and cooperative learning, and delegation of class responsibilities to students for longer periods.
D	Accomplished	Classroom organization and student engagement is of a high order Student feedback and class observation records are very positive. Students are engaged to the maximum in class activities, academic arrangement and grouping of students is done on the basis of the nature and complexity of learning tasks. Students are given term-wise responsibilities for maintenance and safe-keeping of TLM, writing aids, class library, cleanliness, submissions, distributions and collections. Accountability of students is encouraged and student leadership is promoted. Student engagement with variety of approaches and high task orientation reflected in clearly defined time-bound goals and targets is demonstrated.Teachers continually reflect upon their class organization and student engagement practices, and revise them taking into consideration the needs of students, student achievement level, developments in educational sector, innovative teaching practices of colleagues, feedback from head, teachers, parents and students, etc.
E	Distinguished	Teachers’ organization and student engagement is exceptional Teachers use technology-supported systems to plan, implement, monitor effectiveness, and continuously improvise upon the class organization and student engagement practices. Students demonstrate high level of energy and happiness in class, with exceptional engagement level. Teacher(s) have successfully showcased their innovative class organization and student engagement practices to peers, and also at broader platforms like state policy making committees/advisory councils, etc.
