Exploring Areas and Opportunities of Professional Development
for Teacher Educators
Intakhab Alam Khan
Associate Professor (Education), Faculty of Applied Studies,
King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah-Saudi Arabia
ABSTRACT
New educational policy draft-2019 emphasizes urgent need of professional development of teachers
for quality in education. Though professional development (PD) in any profession is continuous and
ongoing in nature yet the draft makers are somewhat aware that teacher preparation has not been up
to the mark. However, it may not be interpreted that the teacher education in general has been
inappropriate or ineffective. The ‘teacher factor’ itself is perhaps the most responsible variable for
the decline of the quality. The areas of professional development for teachers can’t be explored unless
teacher educators are appropriately trained in the crucial fields in order to cater for the need of
future teachers. It requires an in-depth need analysis for accomplishment of the concerns of the draft
policy which focuses on 4 major areas: Indian-ness, globalization, teacher quality and professional
development. All these areas are important, but difficult to implement.
In order to sort out the issues/ areas, there is a need of studying the existing opportunities in the
area(s) continuous professional development (CPD). Quality and excellence in CPD can never be
attained without quality research. This will also help the academicians to explore opportunities in
open and e- learning which is a new focused area envisaged by the draft policy-2019.
Key words: Teacher education, future teachers, draft policy-2019, quality, CPD.
