Finally an internship opportunity at India's greatest NGO ever!
Teach For India (www.teachforindia.org), modeled on the lines of famous Teach for America movement, is a nationwide movement in pursuit of educational equity in India. Teach For India recruits exceptional college graduates and professionals to work as full time teachers in under-resourced schools for two years and it solicits leaders who will pilot the movement against educational inequity and begets the leaders of tomorrow. The Teach For India staff work relentlessly along with the Fellows to pioneer the movement.
Project Overview: Teach For India (TFI) has partnered with Columbia University to design and conduct a longitudinal study. The study will enable them to measure the impact of TFI intervention by comparing a sample of our classrooms with non-TFI classrooms from similar schools. As they are rapidly expanding, ensuring that they have reliable impact measurements to define their programmatic operations is critical to their long-term sustainability and success as an organization.
To date, they have measured our impact on students through a number of key metrics, most notably student achievement. Their student-centered metrics have primarily included external academic assessments to measure student outputs across learning subjects, such as Literacy, Writing, Mathematics, and Speaking / Listening.
They’re currently aiming to expand their metrics to further measure the impact our Fellows have on other key student inputs, such as student participation, motivation levels, time spent studying at home, values and mindsets, and other key indicators. In 2012, TFI began a multi-year, longitudinal study – consisting of student surveys and external assessments – to measure these metrics within Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad.

He/she will work closely with various stakeholders (Principals, Fellows, other teachers in the school, and students) to administer the beginning of year assessments and survey to the students.
