Teacher education is at the base of all educational systems. To make it effective, we need an education system that equips the teacher trainees with the necessary skills to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom. This book discusses how to train teachers, improve teacher education programmes, and impart quality education.

The book, now in its second edition, emphasizes development of skills in teachers, keeping in mind the rapid use of technology and changes in education policies, procedures and provisions. Each chapter has been carefully revised as per the latest NCTE norms and standards recommended by Justice Verma Commission.
