First ever teacher certification program
India's leading education and training services provider, Pearson Education Services launched its first ever teacher certification program in India. The program would authenticate a teacher's proficiency via using technology in the classrooms.
A big step towards enriching and developing curriculum delivery, this program will mark the practice of certifying teachers for technology operations.
This extensive certification program includes a comprehensive two-level certification process. The process would further engender technically skilled teachers who can aid a more effective learning process.
The teachers have the provision of taking the assessment online. Teachers may take up the Level 1 Assessment as soon as they finish the training on the usage of technology. The training too is imparted by Pearson.
The very assessment aims to inspire teachers to acquire basic skills required to make use of the technology proficiently in the classroom. The teacher after completing the first level successfully will be awarded the Basic Level Certificate.
For the Level 2 assessment (final assessment), a teacher would qualify only if he/she has used the technology incessantly for more than a year. The idea behind this assessment is to encourage the teachers to dip into the diverse features of the technology solution to further augment their skills. After successfully concluding this stage, teachers would be honored with an Advanced Level Certificate.
Over 1600 teachers across 30+ schools have been certified for level 1 across the country. However, the aim is to certify over 5000 teachers before the end of this fiscal year. (Read more)
