Dear Sir/Madam,
The Council for Teacher Education (CTE),
Kerala State Centre, is organizing a National Colloquium cum
Workshop in collaboration with the Research Wing and Post-Graduate Centre of
the Mar Theophilus Training College, Nalanchira, Thiruvananthapuram. The CTE is
happy to extend to you an invitation to be part of this important academic
venture.
This Preparatory Workshop is expected
to initiate a process to give a final shape to the proposed Kerala Model of
Teacher Education (KMTE), as a follow up of the resolutions of the 26th
National Convention and State Decennial Celebration of CTE held in January 2012
at MTTC. The recent attempts to reconstitute the Teacher Education curriculum among
other things, is a promising and radical step towards this goal. The proposed
model will shift its focus from the Theory- Based Teacher Education to Competency-
Based Teacher Education, with major focus on all the basic skills and
competencies essential for developing learners who can learn in their own in a
Techno-Pedagogical Era. The concept of Kerala Model of Teacher Education (KMTE)
for competency development was mooted in the National Convention of CTE held in
Thiruvananthapuram in 2012 by Dr. A. Sukumaran Nair, Former Vice Chancellor,
Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam and Patron of CTE as an outcome of the collective
wisdom of the CTE Parivar. The Concept Mentor, Dr. A. Sukumaran Nair, the present
Chairman of Kerala State Advisory Board of Education (SABE) has consented to
present the lead paper and the general frame work of the proposed model to be
subjected to a close professional scrutiny by the experts in the CTE and
the collaborating institutions and organizations.
Your presence, experience and contributions are earnestly
solicited to this important professional initiative intended to develop a
really Indigenous Model of Teacher Education.
