Dear Colleagues,
Good idea. Observation of class is always good.
It enriches learning, create awareness on blind spots.
"Things which I don't know about me, but others know about me"
We were practicing staff colloquium where all teachers by rotation present a topic and all others give feedback.
However, "Ego" or "Superiority Complex" have no place in such activity.
I feel MTC Global can start initiating such programs.
With all the best wishes.

What AICTE in Technical and Management Education is, NCTE is for Teacher Education.--On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 12:52 PM, Prof. Marmar Mukhopadhyay <marmar.mukhopadhyay@gmail.com> wrote:Sorry Prof. Chandrasekharan.Micro teaching and Practice Teaching are two different things.Practice Teaching (also called Internship in Teaching, Block Teaching in some universities) where every trainee teaches usually 35 lessons in a school (called practice school). Teacher educators are expected to observe such practice lessons and give feedback to student-teachers, though this does not actually happen in many colleges of education. It is however meticulously followed in reputed institutions.And, it's a great help to teacher trainees not only for learning to teach but also to develop confidence to face a class.Micro teaching is an exercise in simulation. Usual classroom teaching comprises a series of skills like introduction, explanation, illustration with examples, asking questions, giving reinforcement, use of chalkboards, etc. In micro-teaching, one skill is planned and tried out in a micro-class of 5 to 10 - usually peer teacher trainees for micro time unit of 5/6 minutes. Micro teaching was pioneered by McIntyre and Dr. Buch and Dr. Passi in India in MS University of Baroda in 1970's. It lost its steam as this was found somewhat artificial. However, very few institutes still continue Micro-teaching. Dr. Passi has a book on the subject. Later this was picked up by the NCERT, led especially by Prof. RC Das, then Dean of Teacher Education.I hope you won''t mind this brief input.Best wishes,--On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 12:26 PM, 'uma chandrasekaran' via Management Teachers Consortium, Global <join_mtc@googlegroups.com> wrote:--No problem at all. In fact teacher education courses like BScEd, BAEd, BEd have a component called 'micro teaching' wherein the trainee is observed by a team of experts. This is followed by a feedback session so that skills can be improved.While a teaching degree is a mandatory qualification for school teaching, it is assumed that anyone with a Masters degree (and PhD) can teach at the college and univ level without any training on pedagogy. Formal or in-service training in teaching methods and methods like 'team teaching' can certainly benefit teachers at any level. Observation is a very good method of understanding where we stand.I don't advocate using observation as some kind of spying for using as a threat to a teacher.Regards,Uma ChandrasekaranAssociate ProfessorSchool of ManagementPondicherry Universityuma chandrasekaranOn Wednesday, 27 April 2016 11:45 AM, Prof. Bholanath Dutta <bnath.dutta@gmail.com> wrote:
