Acdemic Responsibilities Of CTES

Foundation of Education

Educational techonology and media resources

Audio visual support needed in the art of pedagogy and methodology will be Developed. It will also be concerned with development of low cost teaching aids and other audio visual materials.

In service Education and Extension programmers

This will be one of the main areas of responsibility of these institutions. On the basis of felt needs, and in consultation with educational administration, areas of in service teacher educationwill be identified and the programmers will be conducted accordingly.

Special Programmes

These will include Science Education, vocational Education, Environmental education, Work Experience, Population education, Language Teaching, etc, The institution could play the following important roles in the context of the new programmers immolated as part of implementation of NPE.

• Special training of teachers and technicians
• Development of materials and methods
• Provision of general resource support
• Formative evaluation
• Improvement of supervisions
• Evaluation skills among heads of institutions and teachers

The overall staff and physical resources acte will be suitably harnessed to enable the institution to play its role in such of the above kind of programmers as may be under implementation in the districts it is expected fever. For example, the programme of improvement in science education will be implemented through the Science faculty of institution assisted by that of Foundations, IT, computers and In-service programme. Many of the CTEs may also serve as District source Centers under the programme for improvement of science teaching.

Computer Education and Service

Each CTE will ha1,e a computer centre for the district in which the CTE is located, which may also scrve as Resource Centre under CLASS unless a resource is already functioning in another institution in the district, or a better uquipped computer unit is available. Elsewhere in the district for being developed as resource centre under CLASS for that district. This unit will to begin with, provide necessary training and resource support to CLASS, but over a period of time, Would develop capability to provide support in planning and management of computer aided learning, and interact with other teaching leaning process in the CTE.

Academic Responsiblities of IASE

lASEs will broadly have the same areas of responsibility as those indicated for the CTEs above, with the possible addition of some more specific areas like

• Elementary Education,
• Adult Education and Non formal Education
• Special Education, and
• Planning and Management they will have a pronounced research orientation and may concentrate on certain areas to develop special expertise in them. In the area of in service programmers, these institutions will pay special attention to the training of the +2 stage.

The areas for IASEs and CTEs mentioned above are purely suggestive. The identification of specific areas for academic responsibility for a particular IASE/CTE will ultimately depend upon the specific needs and requirements of the geographical area it would serve, the competence of the IASE/ CTE concerned and the consensus among the faculty.
