One kid is fun to deal with. But, then you have a group of kids, all from the same age bracket, things can become a little tricky. Imagine the life of those teachers who have to deal with pre primary kids every day for 4-5 hours with only one major focus – teach them the basics of school system. Without much support from the school administration and parents, teachers in pre primary school education can have a very hard life. That’s where pre-primary and primary teaching models come handy.

This article narrates how pre primary and primary teacher training in India is taking its shape and helping thousands of institutions to smartly deal with next generation of kids.

Getting the coveted teaching Job

Getting the first break into the teaching job is the biggest hurdle in India for teachers willing to dedicate their life to pre primary and primary teaching.  Pre primary teachers training courses help ambitious graduates and professionals to compete in the race for that coveted job and get the kind of entry everyone deserves.

The teacher training prepares the new graduates in the areas of language, mathematics, GK and logical awareness, sex education and others.

Understand End-to-end School Set Ups

Beyond primary teaching, there are secondary and higher-secondary grades that are equally competitive or may be even more for teachers to grow into. The pre primary teachers have ample time and scope to leap into the future opportunities that school administration could potentially throw at them. Students that are familiar with teachers in the pre primary and primary grades, for obvious reasons, are more likely to build a relation of trust and cooperation with same set of teachers in the higher grades.

Understanding the end-to-end school setups could open up new avenues for teachers to build their career in the same administration around a favorable infrastructure that they are familiar with for a very long time.

High Frequency Activities

It’s rightly said. “Kids mimic the adults that are around them.” On an average, an Indian child would spend 2x more times with the teachers in schools than with the parents for the first 12 years of their formative lives. That’s a huge responsibility for pre primary and primary teachers entrusted by the school management and the education sector, in general. If teachers are trained to perform high-frequency activities in schools, kids would learn them quickly.

For example, mathematical skills still sweep most Indian kids due to the fear of non-competence. Pre primary and primary teachers can make that change by adapting newer strategies using what they learned at the training courses.

Use of online teaching and experiments during classroom session are found to have a good impact on how students learn things from theory as well. The biggest challenge now: Teaching students what they don’t know; not what they already know! You can save teaching in India from hitting an obsolete route. Things are changing for better.
