Emergence of Present Course

A paradigm shift is being witnessed at all levels of education due to various reasons. The complexity of the
modern world is now beyond the scope of what can be taught to students using traditional methods of instruction
and learning. More personalized, self-paced, and self-directed learning, collaborative learning and digitized
contents are the new learning trends. The NEP-2020 recommends mandatory 50 hours of Continuing Professional
Development at para 5.15 and 5.16 for all teacher and head teachers. We need to empower our schools to transition
towards new-age learning that reflect the future of work. The vision of India as a developed nation by 2047, which
was projected during the celebrations of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav', has in its foundation the quality of human
resource which cannot flourish without quality education, The CBSE has taken a host of initiatives in this direction
which include improving academic outcomes by capacity building of its teachers. In-service training of teachers is
crucial for standardised delivery of course content and to create a pool of trained resource persons (at different
levels - Principals, Vice Principals, PGTs, TGTs, Coordinators, other category of teachers) by equipping them with
the required training skills. This 2 Days ToT certification Course is being offered through a joint endeavour of the
CBSE and the ISTM with an aim to;

a. create and expand a pool of expert trainers, whose expertise can be used by CBSE for conducting training
b. standardize the content delivery approach for a quality transaction of our capacity building programmes

INTRODUCTION
“Learning how to learn is the most basic of all skills, because it is the key to lifelong learning.”
This Course on training fundamentals is designed to assist Trainers from Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE) to deliver quality training to teachers. Training can be simply defined as “A proactive, systematic process
through which an organization’s human resources gain knowledge, skills and required behaviours by instruction
and practical activities that result in improved performance”. Thus, training is a systematic learning event and its
objective is to impart required knowledge, skills and behaviours to the teachers in a methodical manner in order to
bridge their competency gaps, so that it results in an improvement of the overall performance and service delivery
of the organization. Trainers need to be skilled in order to conduct effective training. This Training of Trainers
Course strives to equip trainers with necessary training skills to achieve the objective of achieving the desired
outcome. Organizations need to continuously grow, develop and must be prepared to face the upcoming
challenges. The education and the role of teachers is no exception to this. Training is an instrument to help the
CBSE in meeting the twin challenges of continuous improvement and demands of change.

AIM OF THE COURSE

1. To provide an opportunity to develop basic training /instructional skills;
2. To enable trainers to undertake the responsibilities of designing and conducting training courses;
3. To enable trainers to be a part of the NEP 2020 implementation including obligations.

DESIGNED FOR
The course is designed for CBSE Resource Persons. It includes nominated teachers who are both existing RPs as
well those newly registered. The batch includes all levels and subjects.
