Proposal for
Seminar on Best Practices in Pre service Teacher Education Programme
DIET Khordha
In facing up to challenges and impacts of globalization, use of technology, economic transformation, international competition and local development in the new century, teacher education institutions in India have made numerous educational reforms. The role of teachers has become more complex. In addition to teaching in the classroom, teachers are required to take up new responsibilities in school management, curriculum planning, mentoring, professional development, school-based action research projects, and working with parents and community.
How teachers can be prepared to take up these new roles and perform teaching effectively to meet the challenges and expectations from education reforms is crucial to the reform and practice of teacher education Institutions .This begs the question: what kinds of innovation and change should be made in pre-service teacher education to ensure this preparation?
The goal of Pre service teacher education is to equip prospective teachers with the necessary subject knowledge, professional skills and attitudes for effective knowledge delivery to the elementary level students.
Though the teacher education institutions of the State are following the same curriculum but it has been learnt that there is a huge gap in transacting the curriculum. Many institutions are making great efforts to transform the classroom process from teacher centric to student centric constructivist approach integrating ICT but few are still adopting the teacher centric approach. In this backdrop, a two day zonal level academic seminar in different curricular components of Pre service Teacher Education along with cultural inputs is planning to organise in DIET Khordha in the month of November 2017. The student teachers of 10 Teacher Education Institutions will be invited to participate in the seminar along with one faculty.
The objectives of the seminar are
·         to share the different innovative practices in pre service teacher education programme as well as empower the student teachers in few pedagogical strategies and thematic components.
·         To exhibit the cultural talents of student teachers of different institutions and learn from each other.
Participants :
·         The student teachers and faculty of DIET Puri, ETEI Pipili, ETEI Sakhigopal, ETEI Nimapara, ETEI Bhubaneswar, ETEI Bankoi, ETEI Tangi, DIET Nayagarh, DIET Dhenkanal and  DIET Khordha
·         8-10 Student teachers from each institution and one faculty will participate in the seminar.
Resource persons : On each day four resource persons ( experts in different components of teacher education) will be invited to deliver key note address  and chair the academic sessions.
The seminar will be residential in nature.
Tentative Date : 2nd week of November 2017.
