Who is the ideal candidate for teaching at schools?

Practical Training has become key to teaching. One of the best ways of teaching practically is by implementing case based methods of teaching - yes, even at schools.
Traditional methods of teaching do not employ significant activity based and experiential learning among students. Though there has been an increase in schools implementing cased based methods of teaching, there is a huge ground to cover in this space.
Teachers are often found to be lacking skills in utilising case based methods - primarily because teacher training programs have traditionally not been aligned towards case based and experiential learning.
On one hand, Teacher Training Programs needs to incorporate cased based teaching. One of the ways to fast implement experiential learning and case based teaching methods is by shifting the focus of recruitment from a candidates's publication list to their teaching skills and network. Our experience has shown that industry professionals - business executives and consultants - have proven to be an effective way of implementing industry focussed practical training.
A word of caution: some business executives believe that getting into teaching is an easy way to escape from busy working environment, without realising that teaching can be equally competing.
Whether it is Teacher Training while empowering them with case based methods of teaching or hiring faculties for your schools or teaching your students directly, we address it all.

8 年Vikash Goel Who can deny that a revamp is needed in our school education system? We have as many States as their are education system apart from Central systems. Globally, there are so many systems. Still we debate to get a standardized model. If children are universal, their right for education has to be modeled. Then comes the improvement on quality of education. So many experts are there and parents get guided by what is available and affordable. The biggest bottleneck is the quality of teachers. A teacher is more acceptable to student when they teach after relevant practical experience. Apart from regular qualified teachers, each subject must also need to have professional experienced practical teachers alongside to provide right balance. Thanks for the post and relevance to our modern tech savvy society. Regards
