A.T.T. Programme by CBERT

CBERT had been organizing Training Programmes for Teachers in smaller groups of 25 teachers in each group. CBERT had also been organizing Orientation of Teachers in groups of large number of participants (100-200). In this methodology resource persons were using Power Point Presentation through computer and LCD projector to provide the requisite connect to the participants.

This methodology enabled CBERT to cover a large number of teachers. The feedback provided by participants and experts has provided deeper insight into this type of methodology, therefore in an attempt to further enhance the quality of our ATT Programmes,' during 2020-2021 and again in 2021-22 we are proposing to organize all types of ATT Programmes (Training/ Orientation) in smaller groups of 25 participants in one group. This methodology of training/ orientation in a smaller group will make the training:

1. Activity-based - The participants will be able to perform required activities either individually or in groups of five to get the first hand experiences.

2. Participatory - In smaller group’s participants can actively participate in the discussion instead of being a passive listener and thus, remove their doubts and confusion etc.

3. Peer group sharing - Participants can also share their classroom experiences and innovations with their peers thus, resulting in enriched learning.

4. Closer Interaction with participants - Resources persons can move amongst the participants, thus, developing a closer rapport and enhanced interaction with them.

5. 2021-22 ATT programme according to new education policy textbooks at all levels are being used in all CBERT Centres. The course content in most of the subject in the light of NEP 2021 which emphasis constructivist approach in learning has been made activity¬ based, project work, assignments and laboratory work. This kind of work can be done more effectively in smaller groups, Due to the above factors, we are now proposing the smaller group training methodology (for all types of ATT Programmes) which enhances learning. thus, improving the over all quality of training.

We have also proposed Training of Master Trainees for FMT’s in all subjects and also for Assistant Teachers to enable us to have sufficient number of Resources Persons. This cascade model of training will ensure the same quality of content transaction and interaction in each group of participants.

However, we have also taken care of achieving the required targets as follows:-

  • 1. We have proposed training programme for different subjects/group of participants to be organized with effect from April 2021 onwards throughout the year.
  • 2. Mostly, at one centre there will be 2 to 4 groups (depending upon the total number of participants).
  • 3. There will be required no. of centres for different subjects running simultaneously.
