TI, CORE Education & Technologies to deliver STEM solution for Indian schools

NEW DELHI, INDIA: With the launch of Texas Instruments (TI) Education Technology
business in India, TI and CORE Education & Technologies Ltd are joining forces to bring a new way of teaching and learning math and science to middle and secondary schools throughout India.

The joint effort combines TI’s best-in-class education technology solution with CORE’s world-class content, teacher education and support to form one integrated solution called STEMpower.

STEM skills are vital to be successful in the 21st century and critical to the collective future. Through STEMpower, TI and CORE will address teaching, learning and assessment needs in the classroom, in the lab, and in the real world. The solution is designed to support teachers, students and administrators with the technology and
resources they need to ensure that every student has an opportunity to explore, learn, apply and succeed with math and science.

Utilizing TI-Nspire technology by TI, STEMpower empowers teachers to take control of the classroom and save time. This solution connects the teacher’s computer with every student’s handheld device, leading to instant assessment. Teachers have more insight into the progress of each student, can personalize their teaching style to fit class needs, and promote student collaboration.

In the 21st century world, the ownership of learning lies with the student. This ownership can be achieved through deep exploration and practice. STEMpower integrates real-world data, simulations, pictorial aids and multiple representations such as graphs, spreadsheets, equations and questions to encourage students to make connections, explore and become active learners.

For school administrators, STEMpower is a practical solution for creating strong math and science laboratories. It empowers schools to be on the cutting edge of technology integration. The portable solution has little overhead, few infrastructure needs and can be shared by many classrooms. It also enables administrators to quickly and easily gather the results of student assessment, which can be shared with stakeholders.

CORE Education & Technologies, India’s largest global education player with its expertise and reach in Indian education space, will provide comprehensive, curriculum-aligned content that saves teachers time in lesson planning and preparing for class. The high-quality lessons and activities will enable teachers to engage students in the conceptual understanding of difficult-to-learn topics.

CORE will also provide consistent, quality teacher education to ensure that teachers know how to effectively use the technology. The teacher learning program will help them to update their pedagogy skills with the latest trends in classroom teaching methods.

“At Texas Instruments, it is our mission to ensure that every student has an opportunity to stay engaged in learning math and science,” said Melendy Lovett, president of Texas Instruments Education Technology. “As we team up with CORE to introduce STEMpower to the Indian education system, we are focused on providing an integrated, low overhead solution with the right set of tools and resources that educators and schools need to be successful in improving student achievement.”

“At CORE we believe that an energized, empowered and enlightened mind can transform
organizations, societies and nations,” said Sanjeev Mansotra, chairman and global CEO, CORE Education & Technologies. “STEM is about more than just education - it is about our economic future. The viable jobs of the 21st century will require high degrees of STEM literacy, and if our communities don’t have a STEM-literate workforce, those jobs can and will go elsewhere. Our association with Texas Instruments is an important step in bringing revolutions in teaching, learning and assessment of Math and Science in the Indian education space.”
