Teacher education involves formal and informal activities to qualify individuals to become teachers. It addresses social and cultural contexts to create locally relevant teacher training. Historically, teacher training focused narrowly on skills from 1906-1956, but the perspective has broadened to include pedagogical theory and professional development skills in addition to teaching techniques. Effective teacher education provides practice in instructional strategies, classroom management, use of materials, and assessment, along with theoretical foundations and skills for professional growth and lifelong learning.

Teacher education
DR.KIRTI MATLIWALA Teacher education The National Council for Teacher Education has defined teacher education as A programme of education, research and training of persons to teach from pre- primary to higher education level. According to Goods Dictionary of Education Teacher education means, all the formal and non- formal activities and experiences that help to qualify a person to assume responsibilities of a member of the educational profession or to discharge his responsibilities more effectively. According toUNESCO (2005), teacher education addresses environmental, social, and economic contexts to create locally relevant and culturally appropriate teacher education programmes for both pre-service and in-service teachers. In1906-1956, the program of teacher preparation was called teacher training. It prepared teachers as mechanics or technicians. It had narrower goals with its focus being only on skill training. The perspective of teacher education was therefore very narrow and its scope was limited. As W.H. Kilpatric put it, Training is given to animals and circus performers, while education is to human beings. Teacher Education = Teaching Skills + Pedagogical theory + Professional skills. Teaching skills would include providing training and practice in the different techniques, approaches and strategies that would help the 3 teachers to plan and impart instruction, provide appropriate reinforcement and conduct effective assessment. It includes effective classroom management skills, preparation and use of instructional materials and communication skills. Pedagogical theory includes the philosophical, sociological and psychological considerations that would enable the teachers to have a sound basis for practicing the teaching skills in the classroom. The theory is stage specific and is based on the needs and requirements that are characteristic of that stage. Professional skills include the techniques, strategies and approaches that would help teachers to grow in the profession and also work towards the growth of the profession. It includes soft skills, counseling skills, interpersonal skills, computer skills, information retrieving and management skills and above all life long learning
