Role of Continuous Professional Development in increasing Teacher’s Standard

Author : Megha Singh Rathore and Dr. Sandeep Kumar

Abstract :

Teachers and educators across the country have started to recognize that the goal of enhancing teaching and thus improving students' learning opportunities can only be achieved through a new approach. This approach shifts the perspective from viewing teaching as a solitary activity, solely owned by individual teachers, to perceiving it as a professional endeavor open to collective observation, study, and improvement. It encourages teachers to take responsibility not just for improving their own practices, but for enhancing the shared practices of the profession as a whole. However, for this new approach to be effective, teachers must open their classroom doors, and instead of evaluating each other, begin viewing the study of their teaching practices as a collective professional responsibility. This study focuses on the importance of continuous professional development of teachers.
