Inservice Traning
“A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame.”-R.N. Tagore.
We as an Institution, train our teacher trainee candidates to assist each child in developing their own potential and learning styles. The professors here demonstrate the Micro Skills for the first-year students which the students have to imbibe in themselves for teaching. Students rigorously plan the lessons and take timely guidance from their respective faculty head. The students are then sent to schools for Internship in groups..
