Continuous Teachers Development Program (CTDP)

AIM

“To empower the teachers of low cost private sector schools through training with particular emphasis on classroom management, teaching techniques, child psychology and pedagogical skills.”

OBJECTIVE

To introduce newer educational methods and offer teachers in these schools a chance to share the most innovative ideas and concepts being explored today.

To make their teaching/ training methodology more effective.

• To provide more shareable resources for the participating schools in outlying areas where the schools heads and teachers should meet together to share ideas, training and resources since it is understandable that these activities cannot be provided easily in their own schools.
  To overcome isolation and make training accessible to more teachers at one focal point is advantageous. The value of working together and sharing the feedback builds support network
  It is expected that as a result of training

  • Teachers will feel more confident in using teaching learning materials and as a result their teaching methodology would improve
  • Teachers will start making lesson plan. Teaching/ Learning will become more effective.
  • Teachers will develop pedagogical skills through participation in the program in school.

Policy and Training Execution

Continuous Teacher Training Program (CTDP) is imparted through various Training Institutions or organizations in Public Private Partnership (PPP). According to PEF, "Cluster" may be termed as "selection of a venue for conducting training, and inviting 30-35 teachers of private schools falling in close proximity (walking/transportable distance).

• Cluster comprises 30-35 teachers
• Six days ( 5 hours per day training program)
• Each trainee will go through following three levels of training and will  become a certified teacher after going through all levels:-
  Level 1:  Foundation
  Level 2:  Subject-Based (Initial)
  Level 3:  Subject-Based (Advance)

PEF Course Completion Certificates awarded to the participant teachers upon successful completion of the training.

How to become a CTDP Partner

• Private Training Institutes or organizations are invited to submit Expression of Interests (EoIs) through advertisement for conduction of Trainings through Public Private Partnership.
• EoIs are shortlisted by Professional Development Certification Body (PDCB) constituted by Board of Directors (BoDs) of PEF.
• Shortlisted organizations do presentation in front of PDCB for selection.
• Selected organizations conduct pilot workshops and based upon performance, PDCB recommends the organizations for partnership under “Continuous Professional Development Program (CPDP)”.
• Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is signed with the organizations recommended by PDCB.
• A quarterly based performance evaluation is carried out of these partner organizations.

After Signing of MoU. CPDP-PEF shares teachers’ names and schools. These Organizations visit the teachers and schedule the training on a suitable venue. These partner organizations are responsible to conduct trainings on given schedule. PEF provides stationery items and refreshment to all trainees.
PEF monitors the training on regular bases for smooth and successful conduction.
After conduction of training, PEF and Partner Organization plan to visit all trainees to check the impact of the training.  Following methodology is adopted to evaluate this impact i-e

• Classroom Observation
• Self Assessment of trainee
• Peer Teacher Feedback
• Principal’s Feedback
• Student’s Feedback
• Camp Training
