Teacher Training modules offered at STTAR – Part 2
In order to stay at the top of their game, it is crucial for teachers to train themselves and schools/institutions to impart training to their teachers at regular intervals. Continuous teacher training is extremely important for educational excellence, as a teacher is the one in charge of making/helping students learn and benefit or suffer from the quality of his/her teaching.
We, at STTAR, recognize the growing need for teacher training in accordance with the changing needs of the society and future workforce. To be able to teach the students, we first need to train the teachers with effective skills.
