Academic Calendar
The National Council for Teacher
Education (NCTE) is a statutory body setup by an act of
Parliament to ensure planned and co-ordinate development of
Teacher Education throughout the country. It has prescribed
a minimum of 210 working days for the conduct of B.Ed
programme of an academic year duration.
The quality of Teacher Education Programme depends on quality and relevance of curriculum and innovations tried in its transaction. Successful conduct of B.Ed Programme depends upon many factors such as availability of the infrastructural facilities, competence and commitment of faculty, work climate, institutional ethics, leadership and management style. For launching a successful educational endeavor, one of the requirements is that an institution should have a blueprint ,that is ,a chart of programmes and activities to be organized during the academic session .In this context a calendar of activities would serve as a operational frame –work for Satish B.Ed College.
Areas of focus
For bringing qualitative improvement in
the Secondary Teacher Education programme, attention needs to be
given to the following aspects.
1) Practice Teaching- In order to
prepare an effective teacher, adequate emphasis should be given
to practice teaching and its allied activities.
2) Experience of working in schools –
internship programme where student teachers are given
opportunity to function as full-fledged school teachers under
the guidance of their College supervisors and co-operative
school teachers, needs to be adequately provided
for.
3) Exposure of
effective teaching –Student teachers should be exposed to
effective teaching through different methods and techniques by
their teachers, who should demonstrate a variety of practices
related to good teaching.
4) Co-Curricular activities:- For
all-round development of students , Co-curricular activities are
organized by the teachers in their schools. Teacher Education
institution should, therefore, plan a variety of Co-curricular
activities throughout the session with objective of developing
capability in student teachers to organize similar programme by
themselves.
5) Work
with the community: – School and community are
inter-related. Therefore student teachers should be provided
with an experience of working with the community.
6) Continuous and comprehensive
evaluation:- Though the Teacher Education institutions profess
that evaluation should be made comprehensive and continuous,
their schedule of activities hardly reflects it.
