PrepGraph Academy

Who runs this

The people asking for twenty-five hours of your teachers’ year

A school committing every teacher to a twelve-week programme is entitled to know who is accountable, who stands in the room, who marks the evidence and who the certificate comes from. This page answers those questions with a name and with the standards we hold ourselves to.

01

What PrepGraph is

PrepGraph is a product company. It builds a voice tutor for every child and a portal for the school — and this training programme exists because the platform is only as good as the teacher reading what it shows.

A teacher records what they taught today in a class log — topic, tagged concepts, homework, next test. Each student has a personal voice tutor — English, and Hinglish (Hindi with English technical terms) — that knows that class log, re-explains the homework items the student opens at the student’s level, and can answer from notes the teacher shares to a library. Teachers set short diagnostics or homework from a review-first question bank — nothing reaches students until a teacher approves it — and see who attempted, how each question went, and give feedback. Student profiles show practice, weak concepts and recent work in one place; nightly early-warning signals flag engagement dropping or scores slipping per group; students ask doubts, the AI drafts an answer, and the teacher replies, corrects or takes it to class. That is the loop the programme teaches, and the teacher portal comes with the school’s programme.

The School Programme

02

What PrepGraph Academy is

PrepGraph Academy is the professional-development side of the same company: the 25-hour AI-Enabled Educator Programme, the three-hour leadership session, the CT & AI workshop support for a Lead School, and the certification that goes with them. It is the issuing institution named on every certificate.

It exists because software does not change a classroom on its own. A school can switch a platform on and find, a term later, that the dashboards are full and nothing about Monday morning has changed. What changes Monday is a teacher who can read a diagnostic by concept rather than by marks, decide what to do about it for named students, and check whether it worked. That is a teaching skill, and it has to be taught.

03

Who is accountable

A school being asked for twenty-five hours of teacher time and access to its students is entitled to a name, not a department. Here is the name, and here is what that person owns.

Umesh Sharma

Programme Director, PrepGraph Academy

28+ years in technology

LinkedIn profile

Twenty-eight years and more in technology, and the person who designs and builds the platform this programme teaches on. The AI is not a topic he read up on to write a course; it is the system your teachers will be logging into.

He owns this programme in full — what is taught, who is allowed to teach it, and what a PrepGraph Academy certificate is permitted to say. Where the programme makes a claim about CBSE, about the certificate or about the product, he is the one who signed it off, and the site is written so that every one of those claims can be checked against a published source.

The teaching half of the credibility is deliberately not carried by a biography. It is carried by the standards below: who may stand in front of your teachers, what they are held to, and how a Level 3 capstone is marked and moderated. Those are published before you book, which is what makes them something you can hold us to afterwards.

What sits on his desk

  • The curriculum and every session plan published on this site
  • The facilitator standards below, and who is allowed to run a cohort
  • Certification decisions issued in PrepGraph Academy’s name
  • The written answers a school gets to the seven data questions

Write to the Programme Director

A school in a running cohort reaches us on the same phone, email and WhatsApp as everyone else — all three are on the contact page, and all three are answered by this team.

04

Who designs the programme

The programme is designed against the CBSE 2026-27 training theme, the CBSE/NPST professional-development domains and the CT & AI curriculum for Classes 3–8 — and against what teachers in Indian schools actually have: forty students, a fixed syllabus, an NCERT chapter due next month and a period that ends in forty minutes.

Every session plan on this site is published to the minute before a school books anything, and every assignment rubric is published before the session that sets it. That is deliberate: a school should be able to read exactly what it is buying, a teacher should be able to read exactly what they will be marked on, and both should be able to hold us to it afterwards.

The ten modules, minute by minute

05

Who stands in the room

Cohorts are facilitated live — not recorded video — by a named facilitator pair. We do not start a cohort without one, and the school is told who they are before Week 1, along with what each of them will run.

A standard is what protects a school. These are the standards anyone facilitating a PrepGraph Academy cohort is held to, written here before you book so that you can hold us to them afterwards.

Standards every facilitator is held to

  1. 1

    Named before Week 1, in writing

    A cohort runs with a facilitator pair, named to the school before the first session along with which modules each of them will run. We do not start a cohort without both. A substitution is told to the school, not quietly made.

  2. 2

    Educators first, not product demonstrators

    A facilitator has taught. The facilitator notes on every module page say what to stop the room doing, in those words — Module 4 is device-free by design, and Module 7 caps generic prompt-writing at forty-five minutes. A cohort that turns into a software demonstration has failed, and the notes say so.

  3. 3

    Runs the published plan, to the minute

    The session plan a school reads before booking is the session plan the facilitator runs. Timings are adapted to the room; the activities, the outcomes and the assessment are not swapped out for something easier to deliver.

  4. 4

    Teaches only what a teacher can do the next morning

    Every PrepGraph step taught in a cohort is a surface a teacher has in the school’s teacher portal or in the practicum classes the school has provisioned. No facilitator may demonstrate a capability the school’s teachers cannot then use.

  5. 5

    Present through the practicum, not gone after the workshop

    The same facilitators run the weekly thirty-minute clinic through the four practicum weeks and read the capstone drafts. The person who trained your teachers is the person who answers them in Week 6.

  6. 6

    Says “I don’t know” out loud

    On CBSE requirements, on what the platform does and on data questions, a facilitator either cites the published source or says they will come back in writing. Guessing in front of a staff room is the fastest way to make a school believe something untrue.

06

Who marks the evidence

Certification is earned on evidence, not attendance, so somebody has to read the evidence. Levels 1 and 2 are marked by the cohort facilitator against the rubric published on the module page. Every Level 3 decision is read by two people — and the school’s leadership sees the capstone presentations but does not mark them.

A teacher can fail. That is the point of a certificate that means something; these are the rules that make it mean something.

Rules every assessment decision follows

  1. 1

    The rubric is published before the session that sets the task

    A teacher can read exactly what they will be marked on before they are asked to do it. Nothing is assessed against a criterion that was not on the module page in advance.

  2. 2

    Two assessors on every Level 3 decision

    Every capstone is read by the cohort facilitator and by a second PrepGraph Academy assessor who did not teach the cohort. Both mark against the published rubric independently before they compare.

  3. 3

    Disagreement is discussed, and the teacher hears the reasoning

    Where the two assessors differ, the capstone is discussed rather than averaged, and the teacher is told what each of them saw. A decision a teacher cannot get an explanation for is not a decision we will issue.

  4. 4

    The school does not mark its own teachers

    Leadership sees the capstone presentations — that is the point of Week 10 — but the certification decision is not the school’s and cannot be influenced by it.

  5. 5

    One resubmission, with the rubric marked

    Work that does not yet meet the standard comes back with the rubric marked and the gap named, and the teacher gets one further attempt. A teacher can fail; a teacher is never failed without being told exactly why.

  6. 6

    Evidence, not attendance

    Sitting through twenty-five hours certifies nothing on its own. A Level 3 certificate says a teacher ran the workflow with a real class and produced the evidence — which is why the certificate is worth asking about in an interview.

How certification is assessed

07

Independent, and plain about it

PrepGraph Academy is not affiliated with, endorsed by or accredited by the Central Board of Secondary Education or any government body. Certificates are issued by PrepGraph Academy. The programme is designed around the CBSE 2026-27 training theme and the CBSE/NPST domains — that describes our curriculum, not an approval of it.

The school hosts the programme, records the CPD hours and keeps the attendance register. PrepGraph is the external training partner CBSE’s own guidelines contemplate — the expert a school invites — not the body that certifies the school’s hours.

What CBSE actually says

08

The rest of PrepGraph

PrepGraph Academy is the teacher programme and the certification. The PrepGraph School Programme for a whole school — the tutor for every child, printed login cards, the teacher portal and weekly parent reports by email — is set out on the partners site, partners.prepgraph.com, and the tutor a parent buys is on prepgraph.com. Every PrepGraph property is listed in the footer.

Independent programme, not a CBSE certification.

PrepGraph Academy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or accredited by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Certificates are issued by PrepGraph. The programme is designed around the CBSE 2026-27 training theme and the CBSE/NPST professional-development domains; the host school decides how to record the hours under CBSE’s CPD guidelines and keeps the attendance records — we supply the templates.
