Guidelines for 50 Hours of Continuous Professional Development for Teachers, Head Teachers and Teacher Educators: Based on National Education Policy 2020

Abstract

NCERT has developed suggestive CPD guidelines, covering all the significant areas of teacher education, tailored to the time and needs of teachers and Head teachers. The suggested guidelines under the 50 hours of CPD programme would comprise various programmes and activities for participants with allotted time for each activity. The focus of the suggested pursuit is to encourage proactive learning and community participation following a bottom-up approach. The blended mode and cafeteria approach suggested in the document will provide autonomy to teachers to choose programmes/activities according to their time schedule and curricular needs, thus fostering their first-hand experiences.
