Capacity Building for Improving School Education
Guidelines for Integrated Teacher Training
“In-service Teacher Education cannot be an event but rather a process which includes knowledge,
development and changes in attitudes, skills, dispositions and practice – through interactions both in
workshop settings and school (NCF, 2005)”.
1. Introduction:
Entering into the school system, teachers attempt to map their learning from teacher
education courses with the field realities to find out its relevance. In this attempt, they
often come across issues such as rigid routine time table, textbook dominated classroom
processes, resistance towards innovative ideas, etc., which demand them to get adjusted
with the prevalent practices. Further, over the years, working aloof in schools from the
wider education system, majority of teachers gradually loose interest to update
themselves with the issues and initiatives in the field of education at the national and
international levels. This results in conventional teaching-learning in the classroom with less
effort to improve learning of students.
In-service teacher education programmes can play a very important role in breaking the
ice and make teachers updated and motivated for improving the classroom processes
and in-turn learning outcomes of students. In-service teacher training adds to teacher’s
effectiveness strengthening its linkage with pre-service teacher education. These
programmes equip teachers not only with new knowledge about the system but also with
the skills to address the diverse needs of children in the classroom.
In-service teacher education programmes which are also termed as capacity building
programme, in-service teacher professional development programme and teacher
training are organized with specific purposes. These purposes includes – enhancing
understanding on subject-specific content, pedagogic perspectives and assessment
modalities, enriching knowledge and skills to deal with social issues such as gender
equality, inclusion, etc. and also enhancing skills on the use of new textbooks which often
includes all the purposes indicated earlier in holistic manner.
For in-service training, the country has a large network of teacher training institutions (TTIs),
which provide annual in-service training to school teachers. The spread of these TTIs is
both vertical and horizontal. At the National Level, the National Council of Educational
Research and Training (NCERT), along with its 5 Regional Institutes of Education (RIEs),
National Institute of Education, Central Institute of Educational Technology and Pandit
Sunder Lal Sharma Central Institute of Vocational Education prepares a host of
training modules and undertakes specific programmes for training of teachers and teacher
educators. Institutional support is also provided by the National Institute of Educational
1
Planning and Administration (NIEPA) for the training in the area of Educational Planning
and Administration. Both NCERT and NIEPA are national level autonomous bodies.
At the state level, generally, the State Councils of Educational Research and Training
(SCERT) prepares modules for teacher training and conducts some specialized courses
for teacher educators and school teachers. The Colleges of Teacher Education (CTEs)
and Institutes for Advanced Learning in Education (IASEs) provide in-service training to
secondary school teachers and teacher educators. At the district level, in-service training
is provided by the District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs). The Block Resource
Centres (BRCs) and Cluster Resource Centres(CRCs) form the lowest rung of institutions in
the vertical hierarchy for providing in-service training to school teachers.
2. Meanings of the Terms Used in the Document
2.1 National Resource Person (NRP)
Educationists, Subject-Experts, Teacher Educators drawn from National level Institutions
such as NCERT, NIEPA, etc. and Universities
2.2 Key Resource Person (KRP)
Faculty members of SCERT, DIETs, IASEs, CTEs and Teachers from Senior Secondary Schools
identified by the states/UTs for building their capacities by the National Resource Persons.
2.3 State Resource Person (Leadership) (SRPL)
Principals/In-charge of schools already trained under the National Leadership programme
of NIEPA
2.4 National Resource Group
A group of National level resource persons formed to build the capacity of Key Resource
Persons in the states/UTs.
2.5 State Resource Group

23. Why Integrated Teacher Training?
In-service teacher and teacher educators training had been an integral part of earstwhile
Schemes of SSA, RMSA and CSSTE. These training were conducted by the concerned
States and UTs through SCERTs or any other agency as selected by them. NCERT used to
provide support at the state level for the training of Key Resource Persons on the demand
and requirement of the states/UTs. NIEPA was also involved to develop State Resource
Group for the training of school principals/heads under the National School Leadership
Programme.
As per the recent framework of Samagra Shiksha training for Principals/HMs (Refresher and
Residential), Teachers (Refresher and Induction), Teacher Educators (Residential, Training
of Master Trainers and Programme and Activities), Training of Educational Administrators
(Residential) and Training for SMDC Members is provided under different components.
This kind of segmentation has adversely affected the efficacy of training. Therefore, it has
been decided that to take an integrated approach towards training in order to ensure
effectiveness of school eco-system and improvement in learning outcomes.
Moreover, even after providing teachers training for last so many years, the efficacy of
the training and its impact on improvement of learning outcome remain a big question.
Concerns such as learner-centred pedagogy, learning outcomes, creating safe and
secure environment in schools, yet not reached to the grass root level (i.e., to the
teacher). Reasons behind this are many. Few major reasons are given below:
• Cascade method with multiple layers results in high percentage of communication loss
when it reached to grass root level.
• Non-utilization of trainers trained at one layer for the other layers (as in general random
selection of trainers is being made at different stages)
• Lack of monitoring and support system for different layers of training
• Lack of adequate quality training material
• Isolated training programmes conducted by different agencies with no synergy and
convergence.
3(Cascade model with
multiple layers and
high percentage loss
in Communication)
• MHRD has taken many new initiatives such as PGI, UDISE+, Shagunotsav and National
Achievement Survey (NAS) to improve the overall quality of School Education covering
administrative/ governance issues and improvement in learning outcomes. The
success of these initiatives depends on their effective implementation, coordination
at all levels, and strong linkages between the institutions right from the national
level to the school level. Teacher Training comes out as the most crucial factor for
implementation of these initiatives in letter and spirit.
In view of the aforesaid challenges, it has been decided to take an integrated approach
towards training of teachers. To emphasize this, integration of training structures in States
and UTs, the funds for teachers’ training would be implemented through SCERTs who will
be the nodal agency in the State to conduct in-service teachers’ training. This intensive
capacity building programme will help in preparing teachers for School Based Assessment
(SBA) to be held tentatively in the month of November, 2019.
This integrated teacher training model was pilot tested in the state of Tripura from
December, 2018- February, 2019. The state was decided to adopt NCERT textbooks for all
the classes at the elementary stage from the session 2019-20. In view of training teachers
on learner-centred pedagogy of the NCERT’s textbooks, learning outcomes, new
4initiatives in the field of education, integrated teacher training was designed and
conducted in step wise manner as given below:
I. A meeting was held in June, 2018 with the Secretary, Education, Tripura and other
state level officials.
II. An orientation programme was held in the month of September, 2018 with state/
district/block/cluster resource officials of Tripura – on the conduct of massive training
programmes for teachers.
III. Two nodal officers from the state have been nominated by the state to facilitate
this training programme under the guidance of Director, SCERT and Director,
Secondary Education, Tripura.
IV. Module development guidelines prepared by the NCERT was shared with faculty
members of SCERT and DIETs in the state of Tripura. Training modules on Learning
Outcomes, School Based Assessment,
Pedagogy of Science, Pedagogy of
Mathematics, etc. were prepared by
the NCERT and SCERT/DIETs (Tripura)
faculty members in the first week of
December, 2018 in workshop mode.
These modules were translated by the
state of Tripura from English to Bengali
as well.
V. These modules in English language were moderated by the NCERT faculty members
in the third week of December, 2018. Accordingly, modification in the Bengali
version was done by the state of Tripura.
VI. Identification of 284 Key Resource Persons drawing members from SCERT, IASEs, CTEs,
DIETs, Block Resource Centre, Cluster Resource Centre, etc. was done by the state
by 20th December, 2018 and communicated to NCERT.
VII. Capacity building programme for 284 KRPs for five days from 26th -30th December
was conducted by the NCERT in collaboration SCERT, Tripura.
VIII. A National Resource Group consisting of 14 Resource Persons from the NCERT to
build the capacity of these KRPs was sent to Tripura. The training programme was
conducted at the venue with adequate space to conduct four parallel sessions at
a time in the last week of December, 2018. During this training, following activities
were undertaken-
5a. Pre- training need assessment of the trainees was conducted before inaugural
session.
b. Interactive and activity based sessions – on Curriculum, syllabus and textbooks;
Learner –centred pedagogy; understanding learner; learning outcomes; school
based assessment; pedagogy of language, etc.
c. Inauguration of Web portal for tracking training of KRPs and for the access of
modules and e-resources
d. Making a group of 4 KRPs together as State Resource Group for the training of
teachers at the block level.
e. Group work was conducted in 284/4 = 71 groups for a. Making a plan on
conducting training at the block level and b. transaction of a theme using
learner-centred pedagogy infusing social concerns.
f. Group presentations in parallel sessions were observed by the members of
National Resource Groups and also state functionaries. Feedback was provided
to each group.
g. Programme schedule, time line and guidelines for the conduct of training at the
block level were shared with the trainees during valedictory session.
h. Post training need assessment of trainees was conducted at before the
valedictory session.
IX. Hon’ble Education Minister, Tripura also attended this programme and interacted
with the participants in one of the sessions.
X. Director, NCERT and many state functionaries were also present in program for ob
serving different sessions.
XI. Eight Monitoring groups with two members each were created drawing members
from NCERT and state of Tripura.
XII. Feedback form was created for the monitoring group to monitor and support the
KRPs on the site of training programmes with teachers.
IX. The state of Tripura had conducted training programmes for 31,000 elementary
stage teachers in all the eight districts in phase wise manner from February- March, 2018.
X. The training programmes for five days were conducted for the primary and upper
primary teachers (around 100 teachers per batch) separately in two shifts on the
6same venue at centres allocated in each block.
XI. Monitoring groups had visited each district making a random visit to different
centres at the block in the district. Majorly, good feedback about the training of
the teachers was received, i.e., training was conducted using activity based
manner, focus was given on learning outcomes, etc.
After successful implementation of integrated teacher training in Tripura, it has been
decided to scale up this model at national level and implement in all states and UTs. NCERT
and NIEPA have been identified to led this training in a mission mode in defined time
period. A standardized training module will be developed by NCERT and NIEPA which
will include learner-centred pedagogy, learning outcomes, improving social personal
qualities of children, school based assessment, new initiatives, school safety and security
pedagogies of different subjects, etc.
To emphasize this integration of training structures in States and UTs, the funds for teachers’
training would be given through SCERTs who will be the nodal agency in the State to
conduct in-service teachers’ training. This intensive capacity building programme will help
in preparing teachers for School Based Assessment (SBA) to be held tentatively in the
month of November, 2019.
4. How this Integrated Training Programme is different
from others?
4.1 Generally, training programmes are conducted for teachers, school principals,
SMCs and state/district/block/cluster level functionaries in isolated manner with
different objectives and content. This programme attempts to bring all the target
groups on the same platform integrating them and orienting them on similar
content focusing on their specific roles and responsibility.
4.2 This programme will be conducted in customized cascade mode, in which National
Resource Group of Experts will train Key Resource Persons (identified by the state/
UT for further teacher training) and State Resource Person (identified by the state/
UT for further training of school principals and other functionaries) and these KRPs
and SRPs will directly train teachers and school principals. Master trainer layer
will be not be there in between. This will help in reducing the high percentage of
communication loss due to many layers.
74.3 This programme will not only include pedagogical concerns in various subject
areas, but also focus on
a. Children’ progress on learning outcomes
b. Understanding school based assessment including multiple methods of
assessment
c. Generic concerns such as improving social personal qualities of children,
empowering teachers on concerns related to guidance and counseling.
d. Art as a pedagogy of improving learning providing experiential learning
opportunities.
e. Roles and responsibility of each and every stakeholders in improving quality of
school education.
4.4 Modules on the selected themes for the training programme will be disseminated
to all concerned with the guidelines on their roles and responsibilities as well as
calendar, time schedule and modalities for the conduct of different sessions.
4.5 Integrated Monitoring and Support Mechanisms involving BRCs, CRCs, NGOs, KVs.
NVs, CBSE schools will be set up at each stage to see the interventions provided
during the training programme reach to classroom level
85. Specific Objectives of Programme:
A. To equip all the elementary stage teachers on learning outcomes, school based
assessment, learner –centred pedagogy, new initiatives in education, addressing
diverse needs of children through multiple pedagogies, etc.
B. To monitor and provide extensive support using multiple modes to these teachers
up to classroom level in view of improving learning outcomes of the students.
C. To orient state functionaries and school principles on Learning Outcomes, National
Achievement Survey, Learner Centred Pedagogy, new initiatives in school
education so that they will be able to monitor schools and extend support to schools
for the implementation of new initiatives.
6. Benefits of the Integrated Teacher Training Programme
I. All the Teachers, Principals, Block Resource Coordinators, Cluster Resource
Coordinators working at the elementary stage will be covered for training on
learner-centred pedagogy, learning outcomes, improving social personal qualities
of children, school based assessment, new initiatives, school safety and security
pedagogies of different subjects, etc.
II. All the faculty members of DIETs, SCERTs, IASEs. CTEs, etc. will be covered for training
on learner-centred pedagogy, learning outcomes, improving social personal
qualities of children, school based assessment, new initiatives, pedagogies of
different subjects, etc.
III. Every teacher and Principal at the elementary stage will be able to implement
learning outcomes and school based assessment in the school.
IV. Through monitoring and support mechanism, continuous interaction with teachers
and principals between BRCs and CRCs will enhance synergy among school and
BRCs and CRCs for improving quality of school education.
V. It will save time and energy of all concerned conducting different trainings calling
the same teachers again and again.
VI. Quality State Resource Groups and training material will be available for supporting
teachers for classroom transactions.
VII. This will prepare the system for the next National Achievement System in holistic
manner.
97. Modalities of the Programme
I. The programme will be conducted for all the elementary teachers including Head
Teachers, Head Master and BRCs, CRCs in the year 2019-20 in mission mode.
II. The training modules, pre-need assessment and post –need assessment tests and
the guidelines for conducting training programme will be prepared by the NCERT
and NIEPA.
III. States and UTs will be advised to follow the training modules prepared by the NCERT.
IV. A Monitoring Cell at national level at NCERT and state level at SCERT to monitor the
overall implementation of this training plan will be set up.
V. 1 KRP will be identified per every 130 teachers in the state. 1 SRPL will be identifieds
per 5 KRPs.
VI. KRPs identified at State leve will include all faculty members of DIETs, SCERTs, and
some faculty members from IASEs, CTEs, Senior Secondary Schools, BRCs, etc. The
number of KRPs and SRGs required is at Annexure I.
VII. 15 NRPs will be identified by the NCERT and 1 NRPL will be identified by the NIEPA for
one NRG. Total 8 NRGs will be constituted for this training programme.
VIII. These NRGs will be trained by core team of NCERT. NRGs will conduct face to face
training for Key Resource Persons (KRPs) in states/UTs for five days. NRG will train
approximately 200- 250 KRPs at a time.
10IX. After receiving training from NRG-NCERT, these Key Resource Persons will form a
group called State Resource Group (SRGs), which will have 6 members 5 KRPs + 1
SRPL) in each group and will immediately start teacher training at Block level. This
will also be responsible for follow-up and monitoring of the programme.
X. These SRGs will provide 5 days training to the Head teachers, Head Masters,
Teachers, BRCs and CRCs on the Modules prepared by the NCERT at block level. In
order to ensure that all teachers in a particular state are covered tentatively within 3
months, one SRG will train a group of 100-150 people at Block level (Head teachers,
Head Masters, Teachers, BRCs and CRCs) in one cycle and in a given time schedule
of 3 months it need to train 750 teachers (5 cycles).
XI. Training of Principals and Head Masters is of utmost importance, they will have to
work as a resource person for teachers. They will be held accountable for their
respective schools. Training given by NIEPA will be aligned with the training
modules of NCERT. The training of State Resource Persons (SRPs) of NIEPA which
includes Principals and Head Masters will be held with the training programme for
KRPs. Therefore, the training programme has been designed for 6 days which will
include: 5 days for KRP training, 2 days (starting from the fifth day of KRP training) for
SRPLs and functionaries.
XII. The state and UT may identify State Resource Persons (SRPs) from the Principals/
Headmasters who have already received training from NIEPA. After receiving
training, SRP, NIEPA will be a part of SRG (One SRG : 5 KRPs + 1 SRP, NIEPA) and will
go upto block level for providing training to the group of 150 persons which includes
Head Teachers and Head Masters.
XIII. A schedule for training of KRPs from State and UT, and SRPs NIEPA has been
prepared and is at Annexure II. Training of KRPs from A&N Island, Chandigarh,
Dadra Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Puducherry, Lakshadweep and Goa as well as
N-E states such as Mizoram, Sikkim and Nagaland will be held at NCERT. The training
for other States and UTs will be done at State level by the NRG, NCERT.
XIV. Modules and Guidelines will be developed by the NCERT shared with states for the
distribution among SRG members well before the training programme so that the
concerned state and UT can translate the training modules if required.
11XV. State will identify and provide venue with at least five spacious rooms for the training
of 200 - 250 KRPs at a time for conducting plenary and parallel sessions.
XVI. A Learning Management System Portal and a Mobile App will be developed by
the NCERT for registration of NRGs, KRPs, SRGs and Teachers, dissemination of
resources, training gap analysis (Pre and Post Training), monitoring and measuring
the progress online. The Mobile App will have the facility for registration as well as
training gap analysis and resource material. The portal will also have the facility for
pre - registration for which the data in the required format should be sent to NCERT
as per the timelines given.
XVII. MHRD will train the trainers. It will lay down detailed guidelines for all other trainings,
make the handbook and e materials, provide IT support etc. But the actual conduct
of the teachers’ trainings and all other trainings will be the responsibility of the State/
UT.
8. Monitoring Mechanism and Follow-up
I. There will be regular visits by the DEOs, BRCs and CRCs to schools for continuous
monitoring, follow-ups and to ensure that learnings from training are translated in
classroom transactions. DEO should carry out visit of one school from each block
and similarly BRC to conduct visit of one school from each cluster minimum. CRCs
are expected to visit maximum schools under their jurisdiction. Mechanism for online
reporting will be available and reports will also have two parts, (i) Administrative
and Governance Issues (ii) Improvement in Learning Outcomes. BRCs and CRCs will
send their reports to DEOs and DEOs will send to State and UT Education Secretaries
and they will send their report to Secretary (SE&L).
II. After the completion of KRP training, NRGs will regularly be in touch with KRPs through
what’s app groups and random visits.
III. Once the training of one batch is completed at block level, one KRP for each 130
teachers will be identified as mentor for continuous guidance, follow-up, feedback
and monitoring purpose. Formation of a What’s app group is desirable for this
purpose. It may also be taken care that newly recruited teachers are paired with
senior experienced teacher and thus a quality circle to be made to ensure
continuous improvement in system.
IV. A system for continuous follow-up and mentoring will be devised in a way that at
least once or twice a year all school teachers in a cluster must come to the cluster
school together, share experiences, discuss problems and pedagogical issues etc.
and CRCs and Principals will mentor them.
12V. After the completion of the teacher training programme the follow up will be done
by the following methods on the portal:
• A one minute Video of Classroom Transaction, Activities at various levels can be
uploaded by the teachers on the NCERT portal.
• Blog- A teacher can express the innovative practices taken up for classroom
transaction.
• Any material such as Lesson Plan, Testimonials, Case Studies, preferably with
photographs, can be shared by the teachers.
VI. States and UTs will be given funding for training of KRPs and training of teachers
through SRGs.
VII. Online monitoring of each activity and expenditure occurred will be done to ensure
accountability and optimum utilization of resources.
9. About the Modules for the training of KRPs
