VIEW THE I CAN MINDSET IN ACTION
Over the last 20 years, Riverside has designed, implemented and shared a unique user centered curriculum that is providing schools with an alternative model which focuses on quality of learning AND student well being.
We have curated a set of videos that highlight the processes and practices we follow to intentionally build the I Can mindset in every child. You can also visit our YouTube channel for more inspiration!
The Riverside School has never strived to be the best school "IN" the world. Over the years, Riverside has consistently strived to be the best school "FOR" the world. It is towards this goal that Riverside launched initiatives to take the I CAN Mindset to children beyond its ecosystem. Today the impact of Riverside has reached a global stage.
aProCh, a community based initiative was born out of the need for making city spaces more accessible and open for children. To fulfill this vision of aProCh, various initiatives were designed and implemented to create “a Child friendly city” - a city which accords safety to the child.
Design for Change brings the Design Thinking framework of FEEL, IMAGINE, DO, and SHARE ™ (FIDS FOR KIDS) into classrooms. Applying this children as young as 6 years of age are solving day to day problems they face as individuals, as a family, or as a community.
Riverside Learning Center (RLC) takes its inspiration from The Riverside School, which has used the design thinking framework of Feel, Imagine, Do, and Share™ to design processes and practices that are timetabled to build a culture of empowerment.
On 29th July, Kiran will be speaking about Design Thinking and its impact on Education Quality during The Education Discussion Series being hosted by CDPP - Centre for Development Policy and Practice, an independent and non-partisan organisation working to influence public policy with a focus on the development of minorities.
Kiran features in the Future Learning Design Podcast, where she passionately speaks about "Designing for Change in Education". Future Learning Design is a network of passionate educators and entrepreneurs who are intentionally redesigning the experience of learning in school, work and life.

"It is heartening to be in a school where children know why they are there and why they are being asked to learn things that they are learning. The most important thing for a child to get from school is the habit of being curious and learning, and wanting to use that understanding to make the world a better place."
