Teacher Training – Preparing Teachers for Inclusive Education

Teacher Training – Preparing Teachers for Inclusive Education

From changing the syllabus design to changing the study environment, different opinions about the reformation of our education system keep arising. And while there are certainly various opinions being expressed, the one major concern being expressed by all experts is the lack of adequate teacher training! Every profession in this world needs upskilling and so does the profession that shows the path to other professions.

 

Among the many directives provided by National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020), providing equitable & inclusive education is also there. Inclusive education creates a learning environment where all students, including those with diverse learning needs and abilities, feel valued, supported & challenged to reach their full potential. 

 

Teachers play a crucial role in providing inclusive education; therefore, it is essential to train them accordingly. Comprehensive teacher training will enable the teachers to understand and respect differences and create a safe, inclusive & welcoming classroom for every student. Additionally, teacher training builds teachers’ capabilities in various instructional methods, allowing them to cater to every student’s needs and promote inclusivity in education. These training programs also enable the teachers to collaborate with other professionals to further make education more inclusive.

“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is most important.” – Bill Gates

Why is Teacher Training Necessary for Inclusive Education?

Training programs for teachers are necessary for the 21st century as today’s generation of students comprehend better and learn faster with innovative methods rather than just traditional teaching methods. Students today need personalisation in education. The Indian education system has been seeing the classroom as a whole & not as individual students, which is unfair to many students.

 

Each student is unique in different ways, including in the way they think, understand, analyse, and go about academics. It is, therefore, significant for our existing education system to bring in this change. Training teachers to view their students as unique individuals with varied learning styles is a game changer. Once teachers comprehend this and know how to cater to the several learning styles, they will positively impact hundreds and thousands of students.

Teacher training is also more crucial now than ever as teachers today are struggling with identifying and padding the learning gaps in students to bring them up to grade level. Without the right knowledge, skills and tools, teachers cannot be reasonably expected to tackle these challenges on their own.

How Are Teacher Training Programs Helping Teachers Grow?

How Are Teacher Training Programs Helping Teachers Grow?

Teachers are an influential and vital part of the educational system. And the outcome depends on how a teacher teaches. Also, teachers play a significant role in shaping the future of any country. So it’s vital to do justice to their profession. With the help of sound training programs, teachers’ capabilities can be further enhanced for the better. 

 

Here are some major benefits of training programs for teachers:

 

  • Professional growth

    When teachers attend training programs, it provides them with the opportunity for continuous professional development- to learn new ways, strategies, methods, skills and tools. When teachers get upskilled, they feel confident, motivated and happy to achieve greater things with their students. 


  • Better student management

    As a teacher, it is vital to know, understand and analyse students effectively. Teaching twelve-year-olds cannot and should not be the same as teaching five-year-olds. Therefore, teacher training materials help teachers to better understand and, therefore, better manage their students.

 

Equips teachers with modern pedagogy strategies

Through a holistic training program, educators, especially those who have been teaching for several years and therefore not likely to be aware of advanced technology, practices and methodologies, acquire modern methods and techniques which they can use in the schools to educate their students better.

Conclusion

Experimenting with practical teaching methods in a real classroom can be risky without proper teacher training as students will not be able to grasp the concepts that well. A different approach may impart a better learning experience as compared to one being used by the teacher at present. Such different approaches to teaching must be clearly understood by the teacher so that they can make students understand better. Through the adoption of India’s leading teacher training program by LEAD, teachers can gain students’ confidence and assist them in learning more effectively. Enquire today to get more details.
