(26-12-2023 to 30-12-2023) Venue: RGNV Dehradun

In a significant stride towards enhancing the educational landscape in Uttarakhand, the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) collaborated with the Teachers Training Department to conduct an intensive five-day training program for in-service teachers. The program, held in association with the Teachers Training Department, was spearheaded by Joint Director Asha Rani Painuly and expertly coordinated by faculty members Dr. Rakesh Gairola and Ramesh Pant.

The training, which saw the active participation of approximately 80 teachers and featured 12 resource persons, covered a diverse array of topics aimed at enriching the pedagogical skills of educators.

Central themes included the integration of effective teaching methodologies, leveraging Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the teaching of Physics, Chemistry, and Economics for senior secondary schools.

Expanding beyond subject-specific strategies, the training also delved into crucial areas aligned with contemporary educational paradigms. Sessions encompassed insights into the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, disaster management protocols, stress management techniques, gender sensitization, scholarships, examination strategies, and the effective use of evaluation tools. The comprehensive nature of the training aimed to eq uip teachers with a holistic skill set, aligning with the multifaceted demands of the evolving education landscape.

The meticulous planning and execution of the program were evident, with the entire training regimen monitored by Bandana Garbyal, Director of Academic Research and Training, and Additional Director Ajay Naudiyal. Their oversight ensured the seamless flow of sessions, and they actively engaged in supporting question-and-answer sessions, addressing queries from both mentor teachers and enthusiastic participants.

With the successful conclusion of the training program, the newly trained mentor and master teachers are now poised to play a pivotal role in cascading their knowledge across all 13 districts of Uttarakhand.

Operating under the supervision of District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) and SCERT Uttarakhand, these educators are well-equipped to contribute positively to the professional development of their peers, ultimately enhancing the quality of education throughout the state.

The collaborative efforts of SCERT, the Teachers Training Department, and the dedicated educators involved mark a commendable stride towards fostering a more robust and dynamic educational environment in Uttarakhand.
