New Delhi: The United States,
through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has
announced a new $4.3 million partnership with Arizona State University’s (ASU)
Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. This
program will share educational best practices with Indian teachers.
In partnership with the Government
of India Ministry of Human Resource Development, the India Support for Teacher
Education program (In-STEP) will send 110 educators from teacher training
institutes in the eastern and northeastern states of India to ASU to
participate in a three-month program.
The intensive training course will cover a range of topics including
teaching methods, in-service and pre-service teacher education, and assessment
techniques.
As part of this customized program,
ASU will provide the Indian educators with opportunities to observe American
schools and educational best practices.
They will see firsthand innovative teaching and learning approaches. In addition, the Indian participants will
work closely with ASU professors to prepare proposals for reform in specific
areas of education, which they would then be able to implement in their
respective states. The ultimate goal is
better-trained teachers and improved educational outcomes for Indian students.
