Description:

Teacher Education is the cornerstone of all educational systems. To ensure its effectiveness, it is vital to establish a framework that equips teacher trainees with the skills needed to excel in classroom settings. The book delves into strategies for enhancing teacher training, improving education programs, and delivering quality education.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasises the significance of teacher education, reinforcing the vision of India as a Vishwa Guru. It mandates fifty hours of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for in-service teachers annually, in both online and offline modes, integrating technology into education. Furthermore, it proposes the introduction of National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST) and mandates school-based experiences, such as internships, in pre-service teacher programs to cultivate humane educators with essential competencies.

Now, in its third edition, this book emphasises teacher skill development, addressing the growing role of technology and the evolution of education policies, procedures, and frameworks. Each chapter has been carefully updated to align with the latest NCTE norms and the recommendations of the Justice Verma Commission.
