The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has partnered with Microsoft and Tech Avant-Garde to provide training to teachers in hybrid learning.
The state government has reopened schools and there is a need to adapt to the new model of learning. As there will be both online and offline learning methods, it is necessary that the teachers are well-trained to adapt to this learning environment.
“The teachers attending this program should have basic knowledge of technology. Once the teachers complete this training program successfully, they will be certified. Specialists in “Hybrid Learning” shall be available who could be consulted in the future,” an official statement said.
Many parents are reluctant to send their children to schools as of now due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic.
The board also aims to educate the students in a proper way during uncertain times. “Pandemic (COVID-19) has been raging on for over a year now and our education system has been under tremendous stress. Most of the schools have been under lockdown for long periods and are struggling to continue with the teaching-learning transaction,” the CBSE said.
At least two teachers can join the training programme that will be held for five days. No registration fee is required for any participation from teachers.
The programme is expected to begin on November 15. “This program will be conducted online, over the period of five days, the duration of the webinar will be of one hour thirty minutes each day,” the CBSE board said.
