The course follows a research-based approach to learning and has an internship module for providing hands-on experience to teachers. The course is ideal for working professionals as the online classes are held after work hours and include a mix of synchronous and asynchronous sessions.
The last date to apply for this course is June 30 and the classes will commence in July. Divided into nine modules, the year-long curriculum focuses on the implementation of global practices in education, environmental sustainability, and technology.
Neerja Birla, the founder and chairperson of Aditya Birla Education Trust, said, “Educators today must be equipped with up-to-date academic skills and global best practices to be able to adapt to the current competitive landscape. After the success of the first batch of educators, we are happy to provide a platform for more education professionals to help them develop practical teaching abilities within a global setting.”
The course aims to improve the participants’ skills by teaching them how to use the most up-to-date global methods, gain relevant experience through internships in institutions, learn how to use educational technology in teaching and learning, and incorporate reflective practices for self-development.
The synchronous online classes are held after work hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The curriculum includes an internship programme at well-known schools close to the candidate’s residence in his/her city and offers campus placement assistance towards the end of the academic year.
The PGDGE course focuses on the holistic growth of the participant and the 80:20 ratio of assessment. The applicant must be a graduate of any discipline to be considered for the course. The course fee is Rs 75,000 (inclusive of taxes) and can be paid in three instalments.
