LETTER OF INVITATION

National Colloquium and Preparatory Workshop
 On Designing and Framing of
Kerala Model of Teacher Education (KMTE)
Thursday, 09th of January 2014, 09.30 am to 01.00 pm.

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.
