Mathematics and Life 76 Mission 100,000 quality maths teachers

 Mission 100,000 quality maths teachers 


Background As shared many times in the past too, I have taken up a Mission of contacting, connecting, relating, associating and training 100,000 or 1 lac quality maths teachers by 2035.


Begining with this post, I would like to elaborate the Plan. The objective behind sharing these details is to detail the idea so that others too may get clarity to decide.



In my scheme of things - contact, connect, relate, associate and get trained are very logical stages of relationship building. 


The various years mentioned under each head is a broad timeline I have thought of to attain that level. Of course, nothing is going to stop to do any or all acts before the given dates - unlike the pre closure penalties on loans.


Contacting is how everything starts. People need to be at least aware of the name Dr Prakash Moghe, what he does. This would be done through continuing the present efforts and expanding the operational base. Joining various related LinkedIn groups, posting there is one of the ways. Doing JV - Joint Ventures with the established names on LinkedIn, YouTube, and other social media is one more way. Please feel free to share if know other ways.


Another key point in developing contacts is that everyone being contacted should feel high level comfort with you. A feeling s / he is one of us takes you very long in getting connected to people. Whatever be your assets - age, experience, qualifications, good looks, social status of the family etc if not handled properly, are more likely to be becoming a baggage of liabilities than becoming a ladder of opportunities. 


People you are trying to contact should have more reasons to contact you than to stay away from you.


Connecting happens once we have at least one thing on which we hook up. To reach the stage of connecting with people, you should ( this repeatedly addressed you is myself telling myself 😄) detail your thoughts to all without assuming much base. All great teachers, even the Gurus, assume the student to be a clean slate. In fact, making the disciple unlearn the misconception, bad work habits is one of the most time taking tasks. 


Share your Vision, Mission, Policies with your kids, fellow workers, and seek free opinion. You would see people respecting you, liking you, asking you, even obeying you more often than before. 


Forming various Focused Groups on Telegram, FB, LinkedIn, WhatsApp is a great way to begin, provided you are able to sustain the theme, discipline of thoughts all began with. 


Please feel free to use these ideas in your working too and as a fee  please help me reach as many good maths teachers, wanting to be maths teachers as you know. We all, together will change the mathematics education landscape.


More aspects next time

My Journey as a Maths Teacher – Part 2

  🧒 From Grade 3 to Guiding Future Teachers It gives me immense pleasure to be of some help to my younger mathematics teaching colleagues like Shruti Goel, Laly, Preeti Garg, Misha Nambiar, Rajendra Paliwal , and many others—across subjects and across schools. But things weren’t always this way. 📘 The Indore Phase – Simplicity, Struggle, and Silent Growth After leaving Mumbai in 1988, I served as a school teacher at Choithram School, Indore , till 1992. I even taught Grades 3 to 5 in a single session . Yet, the spirit was always high. I loved taking classes, creating activity sheets, and even wrote articles I mailed to U.S. education journals —long before emails were common. If there was one shortcoming I admit, it was in checking large stacks of answer books. I often rationalised, “I’m a creative person, so it’s okay.” In hindsight, it wasn’t—but the honesty helped me grow. 🔄 The Decade of Churn (1988–1997) It was a whirlwind decade. Imagine this combination: Ph.D. ...
