The Teacher Foundation (TTF) works with the adults in the school system - i.e. heads and teachers - in order to enable and empower them to be more effective in improving the experience and learning levels of students in schools. Their Mission Statement is: To make schools enabling environments for all students by empowering educators to become energetic, effective, reflective and practitioners and life long learners.

This project is an extension of their landmark Turning Schools Around' program piloted in Bangalore over 2009-2011, funded by the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation. This aimed at designing and developing a model of �whole school transformation� for �affordable private schools� (catering to the urban poor) and piloting it in 5 such schools with an aim of getting >20% increase in student learning.
