Your First year at the Foundation
The purpose of the Associate programme is to help you to develop yourself to become teacher educators. The one-year programme will broadly consist of two components:
- Teaching in a government school (80% time)
- Experiencing the work and realities of a teacher is fundamental to being able to help a teacher build her capacities. Therefore, our programme will focus on giving you this experience.
- This will require adequate preparation before you go to school, and significant support (from mentors and peers) through the months of teaching.
- It will also need a process to distill your learning about teaching-learning processes, about children, about teachers and the school, which you can carry forward in your role.
- Supporting Teacher Professional Development programmes of District Institute (20% time)
- As you become more familiar with the role of a teacher, you could begin learning on-the-job by apprenticing with some of our senior academic and block members, in conducting events such as voluntary teacher forums or workshops
After the completion of one year, you will continue to work at District Institutes and will continue to engage with the school and community system.
