THIS IS HOW WE GOT HERE.

Our founder,  Sathyan is an alumnus of the Teach For India fellowship, where he worked with under-resourced schools within the Greater Chennai Corporation in designing and creating conditions where a transformational education for all children becomes possible. Later, working as a Program Manager in TFI during The Lockdown, he saw the acute need for developing new tools & training systems that support educators in dealing with the major shifts in the education landscape.


THIS IS WHY WE'RE HERE.

We observed that many of the solutions being accessed by schools, took away considerable scope for creativity & decision making autonomy away from teachers & school leaders - people who, we believe, are best placed to understand the context of each student. 

In response to this challenge, The Blank Slate came into being, with a vision of creating the tools and organizational systems that support Teachers, School Leaders and Educational organizations in making the best use of their skills & situated knowledge, in creating transformational student learning for every student.


THIS IS WHAT WE DO NOW.
