Education industry is booming today with a number of schools and colleges coming up. But, most of these institutions are facing challenges in appointing good quality teachers and this gap is being filled up by many coaching centres and digital material. Added to this many students are resorting to memorizing or rote learning instead of being able to think on their own. Education is measured by certificates and ranks. As a result, by the time they graduate they are termed ‘unemployable’.
Centre for Faculty Development and Management (CFDM) at Nalla Malla Reddy Engineering College (NMREC) has been working together with Teacher’s Academy to motivate teachers, give them teaching and mentoring skills, helping them in their professional development and creating a sense of pride in being teachers.
Adhyaapan, a mela, is another step in creating a day of fun and learning for teachers. Apart from lectures on skills, there was a wonderful display of posters and models. This display was organized in four corners, and teachers contributed their ideas and inputs at many points. Nearly 80 teachers from Sree Datta Group of Institutions, Nalla Malla Reddy Engineering College and Junior College, Ace College of Engineering, Vignan Institute of Technology and Science, St Martin’s Engineering College, Jahnavi Degree and PG College, KGR College of Engineering and Technology, Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology, Vignan Bharathi Institute of Technology, Princeton College of Engineering and Technology, Science Institute of Technology, Bhoj Reddy Women’s Engineering College, Balaji Institute of Technology, TKR Engineering college, RVR Institute of Engineering and Technology and Rajamahendra College of Engineering took part at the mela.
Edu-Corner: The evolution of education from ancient times, current challenges and opportunities. Trends in teaching today, education scenario statistics and teachers were asked if the concept of Gurukul system was relevant today.
Guru-Shishya Corner: The relationship between student and teacher has changed over time due to social and cultural changes. This corner brought out the attitude a teacher must possess in order to become a role model, a friend and counselor. Visitors could add their own points too.
Inspiring Teacher Corner: This corner showcased the stories of great teachers. It also enumerated 20 reasons to become a teacher, the characteristics of a good teacher and teaching self-profile. Visitors could add their own inputs too.
Book Exhibition: Books were displayed by Cambridge University Press and Book Selection Center. Two contests were organized around the books - to recall maximum number of book titles with author names in a minute and to give the gist of a book in one minute.
The display was followed by idea contest – where teachers presented their unique solutions to social or educational problems, and won prizes. The fun portion was events with competitions with cash prizes.
Overall, the day was full of activities that motivated the teachers and also gave them the big picture. It also showed how information can be presented in interesting ways instead of the traditional lecture way.
Parallel workshops were conducted – IT Resources for teachers, Counseling and Mentoring, Working for PhD by Uma Garimella, Shankarson Roy and Vikram.
