Option 2 : Giving duties to teachers in implementation of policies

The term professional development refers to in-service training to upgrade the knowledge base and skills of the trainees.

  • In the context of teachers, professional development facilitates in-service training wherein the teachers get an opportunity to upgrade their content knowledge and pedagogical skills.

Professional development programs for mathematics teachers are designed to be comprehensive and rigorous, equipping the teachers with a wide-ranging set of pedagogical skills to become more effective in their classrooms.

Organizing and participating in such professional development programs help the teachers in the following ways:

  • Become more attuned to the latest developments in the field of mathematics.
  • Develop greater commitment toward their learners
  • Create a platform for sharing professional experience
  • Work towards continuous improvement of their teaching skills
  • Keep abreast of skills required to adapt to ever-changing learners' curriculum
  • Timely inservice training programs to help teachers upgrade their pedagogy.
  • Enhancing teachers' knowledge through seminars and conferences.
  • Getting teachers involved in various mathematics clubs and inter-university activities.
  • Seminars/ Conferences/ Workshops to learn from a variety of expertise from around the state or country.
  • Observation teachers observe other teachers improve their skills.

If a teacher involves in activities other than Teaching and education, they will not focus on content and hence this will affect the learning of students.

Therefore, Giving duties to teachers in the implementation of policies does not lead to the professional development of mathematics teachers
