Réussir Trust
R’eussir is a French word that
means "successful" or "triumph."
Réussir is a not-for-profit
organisation based in Bangalore, Karnataka. The organisation was founded with
the intention of assisting children with learning disabilities. The prevalence
of learning disabilities was estimated at 10–15 percent, and the needs identified
were not only academic but also emotional support for children. Training
teachers was the best way to reach out to many children. We have trained 700+
teachers on inclusive education across Karnataka, impacting over 5000 children.
We have conducted 70+ workshops.
With the implementation of
the RPWD Act, 2016, and NEP 2020, the training needs have changed, and the
programs offered are customized to the requirements of the institution.
We offer offline and online workshops for educators, teachers, and parents, certification courses, strategic consultation, and dipstick surveys.
Réussir training techniques
In inclusive education,
"equitable and inclusion" are aspects of EQ (Emotional Quotient), SQ
(Social Quotient), and IQ (Intellectual Quotient) that go hand in hand. The
training conducted by us enables a teacher to be aware of all three aspects and
understand their learners, based on which they could design their teaching
methodology and classroom design.
They also learn to interpret the
psychological assessments and accommodations provided by various boards and
accordingly guide the child and the parent. Since we have a dearth of special
educators and inclusive teachers, it is very important to have trained
teachers.
Strategic consulting assists institutions in identifying teachers' and principals' strengths and developing career growth, work-life balance, and self-development. Understanding leadership qualities and being emotionally aware of themselves, which in turn supports delivering quality education not only academically but through the holistic grooming of a child.
Consulting work for schools
As every school is
unique with different values and ethos, based on the cultural fit, we support
them in designing appraisal systems, defining the vision and mission
statements, leadership and coaching, teamwork, work-life balance, identifying
training needs, and training.

Dr. Shanthi Satish, trainer & entrepreneur
As HR and a social
entrepreneur, learning from the corporate world has been immense, from both the
public and private sectors. And as a visiting faculty member at various
management colleges, it has enabled me to understand and connect education to
industry, bridging the gaps.
As a social
entrepreneur for 8+ years, training over 700 educators and designing workshops
and certification programmes that, in turn, impact children has been a
wonderful journey of my life. As an advisory member to the commissioner of
disabilities, it has been a great learning experience to understand the
challenges of the implementation of policies and inclusion.
As a resource
person for NEP (inclusion), I gave a very different perspective on inclusion,
learning from various eminent people and understanding their perspective on
inclusion too.
I have received an
award from CII for social start-up. I have also completed pre-incubation at the
IIMB (NSRCEL). WELEAD's award for best social entrepreneur has been a boost to
my journey.
As a mother of two
wonderful children, I would always want to contribute to making another
mother's journey enjoyable and cherished.
