CHENNAI SCHOOLS TEACHERS TO BE TRAINED
Posted on: 06/Oct/2010 2:22:36 AM
Chief Educational officer, Chennai district has evolved strategy to to enhance overall performance of students. Teachers in the city will soon get training and value tips to help students score high in the board examinations. The students of class X or XII will from now onwards be under scanner.
The Chennai CEO`s office has decided to hold a day-long, rigorous training programme for post-graduate teachers handling classes X and XII. To be held next week, the programme will employ three main strategies — obtaining more clarity in content, identifying and training slow learners and giving special coaching to class toppers and rank holders.Nagaraja Murugan said that the department had plans to rope in experienced resource persons who can discuss different methods of introducing and explaining concepts.
Mr. Murugan was earlier in Virudhunagar as CEO for five year. During his tenure in Virudhunagar he was successful in bringing about changes and improvements in teaching that resulted in the Virudhunagar district topped in the state in terms of pass percentage.
Observing that “slow learners” and high achievers may need special attention for better results, he said teachers may choose to focus on certain chapters rather than the entire syllabus for such students. “The idea is to help them clear the examination.” Similarly, “high achievers” would be given special attention to help them score centums.
This kind of segregation of students is not uncommon in city schools. In fact, several private schools have followed the practice of grouping children in different sections according to their performance levels.
According to a class X teacher of a government school, the focus has to be on building conceptual understanding for all the students. In every class, according to her different students, have to be taught at different paces. Teachers will have to repeat themselves and ensure all the students understand well. The teachers must focus on quality learning outcome. The teachers must ensure that the students have comprehended the subject well. Marks will automatically happen. It’s the responsibility of the teachers to make the students enjoy their studies, only then the students will be inclined to understand and score high marks. Parents and the schools have equal responsibility in ensuring that the students are not subjected to undue pressure through Tuitions in terms of cutting to time for play and games and relaxations.
