MGML Methodology evolution in an Organization

For the effective development of the MGML Methodology by any Organization, the following 4 teams of persons have to be in place before the start of the project. They are:-

a. The Project Planners
b. The Think Tank
c. The Skilled Team
d. The Practitioners

The Project Planners are the Policy and Decision makers. They handpick persons who will make up the other teams of the Project Program. Thereafter, the role of this team ought to be that of a mentor and facilitator. Prompt decisions will have to be given in respect of Project time-frames and finances and in the allocation/management of resources, both, human and material.

The Think Tank conceptualizes the material to be produced based on the parameters decided by them. This is the nerve centre of the Project. Each subject must have a separate sub-team. All members must be experts in their subjects. The team suggests a format and layout of the material. A rough draft is sent to the Skilled Team with unambiguous instructions. It must vet the materials received for errors and corrections. The materials are then forwarded to the Practitioners for trials. The teams work on the feedback received. The teams must carry out field visits to monitor progress and compare with earlier prepared evaluation markers. Must conduct regular State, Cluster and District level reviews.

Artists, illustrators, computer graphic software engineers and text-book writers are some of the specialists who comprise of The Skilled Team. They format and design the materials as conceptualized by the Think tank. Being experts in their fields and having the experience and expertise, they are in a better position to suggest changes to layout and design.

The Practitioners try out the materials in the MGML Classrooms and check for appropriateness and effectiveness of the materials given to them. Their feedback will guide the changes required to be carried out on the materials. In the ultimate analysis, it will be these practitioners who will be instrumental in making this methodology a success.

RIVER deals directly with the Project Planners. However, it works, in tandem, with the Think Tank and the Practitioners. Hand holding is done as long as is required by the Project Organization.
