Your 1st year at the Foundation
The purpose of 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 Govt. 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.
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.
Selection Process
The campus selection process seeks to assess the foundational understanding of the subjects that applicants are specializing in. Selection process will be a combination of written test and interviews. We are also keen to recruit candidates who have a desire to contribute towards education and development in India by working in rural parts of the country.
