PREFACE
The National Institute of Technical Teachers Training Institute is an autonomous
institute established under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government
of India for improvement of quality of Technical Education in the country in general on
the Southern Region in particular.
The faculty form the most valuable resource of the technical education system.
With the advances in technology and its adoption by Indian industry occurring at a rapid
pace, it has become essential that the technical teachers should develop an aptitude for
life long learning and have an exposure to advances in their field through Staff
Development Programmes.
Through the process of need analysis, NITTTR, Chennai has identified and
finalized areas for staff development in consultation with the State Directorates / Board
of Technical Education. This programme brochure gives details of the short term
courses proposed for the benefit of polytechnic teachers of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,
Kerala, Tamilnadu and Puducherry to be organized during 2010-11 by NITTTR. A few of
the programs are earmarked for national level participation, from teachers of
polytechnics all over the country.
The courses cover content updating, particularly in new technologies, use of
innovative instructional methods and approaches, design and development of learning
resources and general management and development of institutions and programmes.
The AICTE has recognized the short term training programmes conducted by NITTTR
for consideration for the purpose of movement to higher grades under the Career
Advancement Scheme.
The NITTTR faculty who have developed rich expertise in their areas of
specialization and who undertake consultancy and research work, contribute in the
design and conduct of these programmes.
The continuous upgradation of laboratory and instructional facilities assure the
participants a rewarding learning experience.
It is hoped that the faculty and the management of the polytechnics will come
forward in large numbers to participate in the programmes and derive maximum benefit
from our common effort towards improving the quality of technical education.
We would like to thank the authorities of State Directorates / Board of Technical
Education for their sincere efforts and co-operation in the identification and finalization of
the staff development programmes.
