Teaching about teaching is complex. It includes knowledge of curricular content, teaching and learning and understanding of how knowledge base for teaching is acquired. It is also important to address the beliefs of the prospective teacher educators with respect to various aspects of education including content, pedagogy, learners and their contexts. It is hoped that the proposed program will develop all these capabilities, attitudes and commitment required for a teacher educator.

This is a two-year, full-time, professional teacher educator preparation programme that awards a M.Ed. Degree. The programme focuses on:

1. Critical perspectives about education
2. Knowledge in the disciplines of Mathematics and Science
3. Sensitivity towards contexts of teaching and teacher education
4. Continuum of pre-service to in-service teacher education
5. Field practice in schools and teacher education institutions.
6. 'Hands on-Minds on' workshops
7. Research related to teacher education

The Programme is designed as a 72-credit, post-graduate professional degree programme, which is a full-time two-year four semester programme. Each student will be required to take Core Courses, Electives, workshop courses, and complete a Dissertation. Students will have field engagements across the semesters.

The eligibility criteria for students entering this programme will be as per the NCTE norms.
