 Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel of flow education. I'm Dr. Rajmasingh, assistant professor, Department of Education, assistant Khanda girls degree college, University of Allahabad. And this time I'm going to discuss with you a very new, relevant and up to date topic that is CPD of teachers. That is continuous professional development of teachers. So if you are aware with the NEP 2020, it has emphasized on the continuous professional development of teachers a lot. Okay. I mean, if you are aware with the NEP 2020, you will be able to see that it has discussed a lot of things for the professional development of teachers. So it is not that the NEP 2020 has not been discussed before. Even before that, there have been a lot of commissions and committees of our country and for this, there has been a lot of discussion. So we will see its historical outlook in this video. This will be discussed. So professional development of teachers, how to become a professional teacher. For that, in 1999, it is said that professional development in terms of all natural learning experiences where consciously planned activities directly or indirectly benefit individual or group of teachers who review, renew and extend their commitment as a change agent to the moral purpose of teaching and acquire skills, knowledge and professional thinking throughout each phase of teaching. Okay. They are saying that professional development means that the teachers, individuals or group of teachers, get all natural learning experiences. So these activities should be planned in such a way that they are beneficial, they can do it again in a new way, they can see it in a new way, they can expand their commitment in the form of a change agent. Education is the change of social agent. Education is the change agent of social change. It can be a social change from a teacher to a social change agent. And a teacher can be called an agent who brings a social change agent. So in the form of a change agent, which is its role, it can increase their commitment in the form of a change agent. And the moral purpose of teaching and acquire skills, knowledge and professional thinking throughout each phase of teaching. This is how it is said. Further, Values to 2015, they define that continuous professional development or CPD as the continuation of a teacher's professional development beyond their initial training, qualification and induction. They say that the development of the teachers is the beginning of their education. For example, you have come from the BTC, from the LT training grade. So the initial training qualification and induction is the foundation, beyond that, you have to go ahead. This may take many forms. It can be done in many ways such as you participate in short courses, you increase your skills and knowledge, you join longer courses of study such as diploma and post degree, you organize staff development events within the teacher's own institution, conferences, mentoring and peer assessment. You participate in conferences, you do mentoring, peer assessment. I mean all these ways, whether short term or long term, through which your initial training qualification and induction is beyond that, you have to go ahead and learn. This is continuous professional development. So apart from this, it means continuous professional development includes the consciously planned activities that will aid the teaching career of a teacher or head teacher to update the existing knowledge on new learning through online and offline modes. After Corona, we have learned online. How to study online in the world? So this is also used in online courses, online mode for professional development. So this means that in continuous professional development we are not planning consciously, that is not how it is. There are no activities here. No, consciously. You have made the concept of thinking that how you will help the teacher in his teaching career with which his existing knowledge can be increased and could learn something new online or offline mode. And the National Achievements of 2017 says that need for CPDs. It is the need for continuous professional development in terms of the emerging need for quality education. Why is that? Because NEP 2020 has talked about a lot of new avenues. So who will learn? The teacher will learn. So the teacher will have to be updated like that. In India, the need for providing professional development opportunities to teachers continuously becomes especially important because most of the pre-services teacher education programs of the country have formerly been of poor quality, generally failing to provide enough understanding to teachers for developing as reflective practitioners. They say that the teacher should become a reflective practitioner. That means the teaching work he is practicing, the instruction he gives in the class, he should reflect on it. He should think about it. He should think about how much learning outcome can be achieved or not. Where can he be improved? What is the problem? What is good? All this. So they are also saying that in the early days, the pre-service training was inadequate. It was of poor quality. Thus, the new concept of CPD provides opportunities that can cater to the unaddressed needs of teachers. That is why the concept of CPD was not discussed in the year 2020. It says that teachers should get such opportunities that they need. They need the ones who have not yet been addressed, who have not yet been paid attention. They should be given attention along with the professional development courses in whichever mode they should go. Now we come to history. What is the history of CPD? The history of CPD is old. The establishment of the extension services department in about 100 teacher training colleges on the recommendation of the Secondary Education Commission in 1952-53 was the first initiative. This means that in the first year, Moodalir Ayog said in 1922 that about 100 teacher training colleges should open the extension services department. This was the first move to the professional development of teachers in the country. This is happening after the independence. Then the Education Commission in 1964-66 recommended the establishment of school complexes. With the Moodalir school should be the responsibility for the professional development of all teachers working in the schools on the complex. After that, the Kothari Commission in 1964-67 says that you should make school complexes. What will the school complexes do? The teachers working in the schools on the complex. You will be responsible for the professional development of all teachers working in the schools on the complex. At the same time, state institutes of education are also made. In-service education of teachers. That is, for the development of services, services and education. Then comes the National Policy of Education, NPE 1986. What is this? Made a decisive intervention for the creation of a strong institutional network for imparting in-service education to teachers at all levels. Every time teachers are served, their development, their professional development will be done. Courses will be run for that. Intervention will be done. For this, there was another scheme in 1987. Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Restructuring and Reorganization of Teacher Education. We have already talked about this. So, it came in 1986. Centrally Sponsored Scheme came in its continuation. And it said, the same scheme was said, or NPE 1986 said that you should make a college education. And what else did NPE say? That you should upgrade 250 colleges and make a college education. And 50 of them and by improving them, they should be given an Institute of Advanced Studies in Education or IASC. So, all this is happening because in-service training of teachers can be done. Then comes the Program of Mass Orientation of School Teachers. It was also launched in 1987. And it succeeded in creating awareness among teachers about the broad features of the NPE 1986 for both primary and secondary teachers. That is, the primary and secondary teachers were trained to train them. Mass Orientation. Many teachers were trained to orient themselves together. Later, this program was replaced with another crash program called Special Orientation Program for Primary Teachers. It became soft. It was mostly for primary and secondary students. And this software was only for primary. In 1990s, which aimed at providing training on the content and pedagogy of school subjects. After that, they said that there would be a three-tier system, a three-tier system. First, you train key resource persons. The key resource person will train the resource person and the resource person will train the teachers. In this way, Kramhawar has completed it. And all this was done by some of the national teachers in 1996. Then comes your Kramhawar. It was implemented as India's main program for universalization of elementary education. We have read it many times. We know that we were able to achieve universal access and retention. We were able to reach every child. Every child stayed there. We didn't leave the schools. And we were able to divide the gap of gender and social categories. And we were able to increase the learning level of the children. This was the key resource for primary and secondary teachers. We were able to increase the learning level. When this RTE act was launched in 2009, it became even more stronger. Which gave a legal mandate. Now we have legal action. You have to take the responsibility of the state that free and compulsory elementary education will provide every child up to 14 years. All the children will be up to 14 years old. Okay. Then under the SSA, this was also mentioned in the education program. This is the link. If you want to stop the children in the school, it means that there should be a higher quota. And to make the teacher higher quota, you have to develop his professional development. So, he said that in service education of elementary teachers, in visages, 20 days of training for a teacher every year. He said that every teacher at the elementary level will give 20 days of training every year. Which is further split into two segments of 10 days each. After that, I divided it into two times for 10-10 days. The first segment of training is organized by the Institution with Requisite Facility. He said that the first time the training was given, he said that he will give it to the Block Resource Center or the Diet Center where we can provide the facility. The second segment was that 10 monthly meetings of one day each at the Cluster Resource Center. He said that at the Cluster Resource Center, 10 monthly meetings of one day each. In a month, for 10 times a day, we will meet at the Cluster Resource Center where teachers working in Cluster Schools meet once a month to share experiences and learn from each other. In a month, you will meet and share your experiences with each other and learn from each other. This is the way. Then you come to Adjusat. He said that CIET and MCRT said that we will use CIET for learning. Adjusat which has a full-form educational satellite has been allowed by ISRO to CIET for the development of the network of institutions together constituting a national network. ISRO launched an educational satellite and said that CIET will be a national network and we will orientate teachers under NCF 2005 and he said that we will teach students from 2006 to 2011 and develop them. It has gained a wide range of experiences in designing and organizing various orientation programs on NCF 2005 of teachers, administrators and other stakeholders. And what was the difference that we can improve on a secondary level according to the book. For that, the teachers who are in the secondary level are professional development. We will give these service training programs to teachers who are in science, mathematics, languages and technology. The government adopted the teacher education and it said that an overarching program for the school education sector extending from pre-school to classroom. We will talk holistically and have been prepared with the broader goal of improving school effectiveness to be measured in terms of equal opportunities for schooling and equitable learning outcomes . We have started this school education in 2018 and 2019. The latest is the National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers Holistic Advancement. We have a National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers Holistic Advancement. At the beginning of the school education was run for elementary stage. It started in August 2019. It was decided that the National Resource Group will train the KRP and state resource leadership. We have a National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers Holistic Advancement. We have a National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers Holistic Advancement. We have a National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers Holistic Advancement. We have a National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers and Teachers and Teachers and Teachers and Teachers and Teachers and Teachers and Teachers and Teachers for restructuring and re-organization of teacher education. Then you have the 2001 Kassarva Shikshabhiyan. Then you have the 2009 Karashtra Matimik Shikshabhiyan. Then there is the 2009 Biknaati Act. Then there is the 2018-2019 Kassarva Shikshabhiyan. Then there is the 2019 Nishtha, which is in face-to-face mode. But then it becomes online due to COVID. This is an online program. The main thing is that Shikshabhiyan is developing his professional development. And the higher education teachers, as you know, were the PM, Prandik Madan Mohan Malvi, a national mission for teachers and teaching, which is now given by Malvi mission. And you know these HRDC, EBC, all of them. So, like this. Why? Because the condition of Shikshabhiyan is to be improved, then Shikshabhiyan will be improved. And if Shikshabhiyan is to be improved, then the training will be given. Okay. So, it is all about the history of continuous professional development of teachers in India. Okay. Even now, the higher education has been given, but it is enough. Because the PM and GT has also been given in this portion. No problem. Okay. So, thank you.
