The existing teachers need to acquaint with paradigm shifts in the ever
changing Education system. That would require enriching ones knowledge &
Understanding of the concept & aims of education, learner, learning, content
and pedagogical knowledge. Inter linkages between theory and practice is
often missed. Current In-service professional development programs are
often inadequately designed to provide an individual with the much needed
pedagogic understanding or abilities and dispositions to become an effective
teacher. In this situation continuing professional development of the teacher
becomes paramount for effective transaction of the curriculum and to bridge
these gaps. This necessitates a long term vision and framework that
attempts to address the above mentioned issues, considering every possible
influencing factor and guide the whole process of an effective in-service
program to deliver a meaningful experience to the teachers.
Based on the insights from last decade, keeping the national documents
such as National Curriculum Framework 2005 and National Curriculum
Framework for Teachers Education 2009 in mind, Department of education
envisioning the continuous professional development plan for In-service
teachers. It is planned to develop the long term efforts with continuity,
connectedness and space for understanding as per their interest. Teachers
development efforts in a proposed plan spread across 4-5 years wherein
about 240-250 modules available ranging 1-5 days catering teachers' actual
need in the academic subjects as well as in education perspective. These
modules comprising education perspective, subject perspective, key
concepts, pedagogy and assessment in an integrative manner. There shall be
30 35 modules offered to teachers in the year 2017-18, rest will spread
across subsequent years. As part this, there will be few mandatory courses
(fundamental areas) which teachers are expected to be taken, at the same
time teachers are free to opt the modules as per their need and interest.
