All
the Regional Joint Directors of School Education, District Educational
Officers in the state are informed that it is decided to implement the
Teacher Professional Development courses (TPD) in all
Government
schools of Andhra Pradesh from the Academic Year 2023-24 onwards. These
courses are rolled out by SCERT as part of the AP SALT Program aiming to
improve learning outcomes and quality of teaching practices in the
state of Andhra Pradesh.
These courses will be rolled out for
capacity building and support to teachers of Grade 3 to 10. These
courses are based on teachers’ needs identified through the Teachers’
Training Need Survey and will be rolled out in succession. All the
courses follow a blended learning model. The online part consists of
consuming training videos, reading material, and quizzes as course
content along with a pre-test and post-test. Online course content for
these courses will be rolled out on a new teacher training platform
called ‘FIRKI’. This will be complemented with an offline engagement by
means of Peer Learning Circles (PLCs) during school-complex meetings.
Teachers enrolled in the course will have to
attend PLC after
completion of the module in a given time. This information will be
passed out to teachers through an orientation video which will be
circulated by SCERT to orient all the teachers on the new need-based
training courses initiative.
Keeping in view of the above
SCERT is launching the first course, ‘Developing English Pedagogy’ on 31
August 2023. This course is meant for teachers teaching English,
Science, Social Science, and Mathematics for grades 6 to 10. This course
comprises 3 modules in total and one new module will be released every
month. Further, under each module, there are 4-7 learning videos with a
duration of approximately 10-15 minutes each.
All District Education Department and Samgra Shiksha Officials are requested to duly arrange the following arrangements.
All
the teachers must download the Firki App. With the help of the login
credentials (username and password) that will be provided by the state,
teachers should register on the FIRKI platform. The FIRKI app can be
downloaded on the mobile from the AppStore. Alternatively, it can be
accessed
through any web browser on- https://firki.co. Disseminate the logins to
teachers immediately after the districts receive them.
All
teachers in grades 6 to 10 teaching English, Maths, Science, Physical
Science, Biological Science, Social Studies will be enrolled by SALT
technical support agency Leadership For Equity (LFE) on behalf of SCERT
on Firki platform in the first course - “Developing English Pedagogy”
All teachers must attempt the pre-test which will be found on the same
platform before accessing the course content under Module 1.
After
teachers go through the module in the given timeline, they will be
required to discuss the concepts of the course and provide feedback on
the course during the PLC in school complex meetings.
Over a span of
next three months, the course will unfold in a structured manner. Each
month, one module will be released to teachers.
All teachers who are provided with logins must complete the course by 30th November 2023.
Course is considered complete only if the teacher completes all the components in the course and attends all the PLCs.
Teachers
will be provided with a course completion certificate at the end of the
course based on their participation and performance in the course.
In
this regard, the Regional Joint Directors of School Education, all the
District Educational Officers in the state are instructed to issue the
necessary orders to all the Deputy Educational Officers, Mandal
