I started as a biology teacher, went on to be the Head of a co-ed, boarding school. Left it after three years as I wanted to study biodiversity and write to share with teachers the wonderful Biodiversity of India. So I became an Independent Consultant in the field of Education. My Ph.D being on a biology curriculum for secondary school, I have expertise in designing contextually relevant curriculum in sciences for middle school and biology for all classes including Secondary and Senior secondary. I was part of the team that designed the Environment Education curriculum ( as 6th sub) for ICSE board. I have also designed curriculum for schools; trained teachers  ( including  teachers at Mongolia) of all school boards, to teach biology in a as an inquiry based subject, moving beyond facts, to begin with observations, develop thinking and analytical skills in order to infer and conclude on their own- in short build knowledge by themselves, with minimal help from teachers. I have also helped teachers from IB schools (PYP to DP) to develop curriculum ( which is not restricted to a syllabi but all aspects of learning including assessment) help understand both formative and summative techniques

The books I have written can be viewed in my home page and the articles I have written for teachers to bring biodiversity into their classroom can be viewed at www.teacherplus.org.
I have seen teachers use encyclopedia written by Western authors with examples from other countries in their classroom. I have through my articles in Teacher Plus tried to let teachers know the astonishing beauty of the diversity that exist in our country. I started doing this when Instagram and Facebook or Citizen Science programmes had not provided the services as they do now about Natural world.

I have also trained forest guards and antipoaching watchers as ecoguides. I write about insects as their numbers and diversity is dwindling, which is not good news for us or the earth.

Contact me if you think I can be of help. I am also open to helping you plan lessons in biology and general science meaningfully in order to move from rote memory to inquiry.
