Thank you for your participation at The XSEED Conference 2021.  The XSEED Charter for educators and schools was released during the conference. We received an overwhelming response from educators and schools across the country and look forward to working with your school.  You can keep in touch with XSEED via…

Preparing children for success is one of the biggest responsibilities of parents and schools. Success comes not from overwhelming children with pressure or educational resources, but instead from building the right foundation in a scientific and systematic manner in the elementary years.

To do this, parents and school leaders must make the right choices. In the 21st century post-Covid world, these choices become even more important.

Join us at The XSEED Conference (India Edition) to make sense of these choices and find concrete, practical solutions. Hear from specialists, educators, parents, teachers, and school management who have experienced this success. This 2.5-hour online conference is open to all and will feature knowledgeable speakers, enriching exhibits, and opportunities to build an education network.

A highlight of the conference is the keynote address delivered by XSEED founder, Ashish Rajpal, a renowned educator and Harvard alumni who pioneered the XSEED Method of teaching and learning. Drawing from XSEED’s rich experience, he will share guidelines for parents, teachers, and school management on the building blocks of success for students.

How is the XSEED Conference different from the XSEED Saturday seminars?

The XSEED Saturday Series is about technical matters which may be of interest to teachers or education leaders eg how to adapt to online teaching post pandemic, subject specific aspects of teaching & learning, how to use the Super Teacher etc

The XSEED Conference is about vision and the future of our children. How to set a long term vision on making children successful. What successful schools and parents have done about it. What are some of the practices that work and how to make a plan around success.
