Description
Why Self Development of Teachers is necessary?
Personal Growth and Well being of teachers has been identified as a huge gap area in Teacher Development and finds a mandate in the formal document released by NCERT as Guidelines for Professional Development of Teachers post the NEP 2020 release. Some of the excerpts are quoted here
“The NEP 2020 also recommend (Para 5.15) that “Teachers will be given continuous opportunities for self-improvement “
The CPD Guidelines based on the NEP 2022, clearly states “ The conventional institutional arrangements for providing professional development to teachers have been somewhat rigid and structured. They did little in terms of helping the teacher think reflectively in terms of undertaking classroom inquiry, critical observation and reflective analysis of teaching practices. These aspects of reflective practice, crucial for the professional growth of a teacher were by and large missing from most of the INSET programmes. Therefore in most of the INSET Programmes it has been observed that teachers attended such programmes passively, as a routine ‘duty’ to be completed without much intrinsic motivation”
The Reflections of a Teacher helps to learn and practice
- mindfulness,
- reflections,
- journaling and
- metacognition
This will eventually lead to building an ecosystem that thrives on meaningful, deeper and value based inclusive classrooms.
