Impact of In-service Teacher Training on Classroom Transaction. SSA INSET Packages in States: An Assessment

Abstract

The flagship scheme of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) was initiated during 2000-01 for improving the quality of elementary education and also to achieve the constitutional commitment of Universalisation of Elementary Education. Teacher Training was one of the important components of SSA for achieving the goal of UEE. The provision for 20 days in-service training was made for all the elementary school teachers every year under this scheme for their professional growth and development. Since this programme was being implemented in the country for over a decade, it became necessary to evaluate the scheme for addressing its impact in classroom transaction and on students. This compendium SSA INSET Training packages in States: An Assessment, provides an analytic view of the state reports prepared by experts.
