The Classroom Is Changing—And So Must Our Approach to Communication
Every educator knows that true learning goes beyond grades and report cards.
It’s seen when a student raises their hand not just with an answer, but with an idea.
It’s heard when a once-shy child anchors morning assembly, or when a debate turns into a meaningful discussion instead of a noisy argument.
It’s felt when students graduate not only with knowledge—but with a voice.
This is exactly what L.E.A.P. (Learn. Evolve. Adapt. Placed.) makes possible.
We spoke to educators across the country—principals, coordinators, English teachers, and even school management heads—who have seen the transformation in real time.
Here’s why educators trust L.E.A.P. to prepare their students for not just exams, but for life.
1. “They’re Not Just Speaking—They’re Thinking.”
– Mrs. Meenal Joseph, English Department Head, Delhi NCR School: CBSE Affiliated International School
“Most public speaking courses train students to mimic famous speeches or memorize quotes.
L.E.A.P. is different. It teaches students to think independently—how to structure an idea, weigh perspectives, and present it calmly under pressure.
I’ve seen students go from hesitating to read aloud… to confidently debating complex topics like ethical AI and climate policy.
That kind of shift is rare—and deeply needed.”
2. “Students Who Were Invisible… Became Leaders.”
– Mr. S. Nagarajan, Principal, Chennai School: State-Board Matriculation Higher Secondary
“There are always a few students who blend into the background. They don’t misbehave, but they don’t shine either.
With L.E.A.P., we saw them step into the spotlight—on their terms.
One of our students, Harsha, barely spoke a word in class. After six months in the LEAP Pro level, she delivered a TED-style talk at our annual day.
It’s not magic. It’s a structured process. And it works.”
3. “The Listening Skills They Learn Are Just as Valuable.”
– Ms. Fatima Ahmed, Academic Coordinator, Bengaluru School: ICSE Curriculum
“We tend to focus so much on ‘speaking skills’ that we forget—listening is half the equation.
L.E.A.P. actively trains students to listen, reflect, paraphrase, and respond mindfully.
This has dramatically improved group discussions, peer feedback sessions, and collaborative projects in class.
Our students now understand that communication isn’t just about talking—it’s about connecting.”
4. “They’re Prepared for Real-World Stages, Not Just School Ones.”
– Mrs. Arundhati Rao, Vice Principal, Hyderabad School: CBSE-IB Hybrid School
“Many programs focus on elocution, anchoring, or speech-writing.
L.E.A.P. goes beyond that. It prepares students for panel discussions, interviews, college admission essays, and real-time problem solving.
The world outside the classroom doesn’t hand out scripts. It demands clarity, confidence, and composure.
That’s exactly what this program cultivates.”
5. “We Saw a Cultural Shift in the Classroom.”
– Mr. Dev Singh, English Teacher, Pune School: CBSE Senior Secondary
“Once L.E.A.P. was introduced, something changed in our classes.
Students began forming their own discussion circles. They gave peer feedback more constructively. They began moderating class debates without teacher prompts.
This wasn’t just about confidence. It was about ownership.
They began to see their voice as a tool for impact—not just for marks.”
6. “It’s as Useful for Top Performers as it is for Struggling Students.”
– Mrs. Shalini Mehta, Principal, Mumbai School: Private IGCSE School
“Often, enrichment programs only benefit students who are already ahead.
But L.E.A.P. works across the board.
Our toppers became more grounded and empathetic speakers. And our hesitant students blossomed into expressive thinkers.
It leveled the playing field—without lowering the bar. That’s rare.”
7. “It Complements Every Subject—Not Just English.”
– Mr. Pradeep Jain, Science Teacher, Indore School: CBSE
“My students presented a science project last month—and their presentation was sharp.
They cited sources, explained diagrams, asked open-ended questions to the audience, and even handled objections.
When I asked how they prepared, they said, ‘We used L.E.A.P. frameworks.’
That’s when I realized—it’s not an extracurricular anymore. It’s an essential. For every subject.”
8. “We Now See Our Students as Future TED Speakers.”
– Mrs. Anitha Krishnan, School Counselor, Coimbatore School: Girls’ Higher Secondary School
“I work with students who struggle with anxiety, stage fright, and social isolation.
L.E.A.P. is not a band-aid. It’s a bridge.
Students don’t just ‘overcome’ fear. They redefine it.
One girl, Prerna, who used to break down before oral exams, is now preparing a talk for a regional youth conference.
These are not small wins. These are lifelong upgrades.”
9. “As a School, We Now Champion Expression.”
– Principal’s Message from School Newsletter, Kolkata School: CBSE + Cambridge
“We have always prided ourselves on academic excellence. But in today’s world, silent brilliance is not enough.
L.E.A.P. has helped us nurture articulate brilliance.
Our students are now more expressive, more diplomatic in conflict, more confident in team discussions, and more mindful in feedback.
We thank the L.E.A.P. team for empowering not just students—but the school community as a whole.”
10. “Their Confidence Isn’t Loud. It’s Deep.”
– Mrs. Kavitha Sundaram, English Teacher, Madurai School: Government-aided school
“What impressed me most was that L.E.A.P. doesn’t create show-offs.
It nurtures thinkers who can express. Empaths who can lead. Students who can listen.
We often equate loudness with confidence.
L.E.A.P. shows us that clarity, poise, and purpose are the real signs of readiness.
And that’s what we want for our children.”
Why Schools Continue to Integrate L.E.A.P. into Their Curriculum
1. It’s Curriculum-Compatible. The program blends seamlessly with LSRW objectives (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing) across CBSE, ICSE, and IGCSE frameworks.
2. It Works Across Grades. With levels designed for ages 6–15 (Starter, Intermediate, Pro), it grows with the learner—ensuring continuity and progress.
3. It Empowers Teachers Too. Many educators report using L.E.A.P. frameworks in their own classrooms—for oral exams, discussions, and co-curriculars.
4. It Fosters Student Agency. From speech writing to moderating discussions, students begin to take ownership of their voice—leading to stronger school communities.
What Educators Are Asking for Next
🗓️ Teacher Training Modules: To help teachers internalize L.E.A.P. strategies in subject classrooms.
🧭 Leadership Labs: Where students apply L.E.A.P. skills to solve real-world school challenges.
🎤 TED Junior Platforms: Opportunities for students to present their ideas publicly in professional formats.
📚 Portfolio-Based Assessment Tools: Rubrics and trackers to document progress in oratory skills over time.
Final Word: Education Is Not Complete Without Expression
If literacy is the ability to read and write, then oracy—the ability to speak and listen well—is its equally vital sibling.
Educators know this. That’s why they trust L.E.A.P.
Because students today aren’t just preparing for tests. They’re preparing for team meetings, boardrooms, startup pitches, webinars, interviews, and leadership forums.
And they deserve the tools to shine in all of them.
