Becoming a teacher by virtue of getting a degree in teacher education is extremely easy but honing individual skill and getting accepted by the students in class is something which might not come easily to majority of teachers.
Expert teacher trainers must enhance experience in all spheres of academics and must know how to handle different class sizes, types of students, types of curses, materials, teaching context, and so on. Many teacher trainers, mentors, educators, no matter how different work environments they belong to, find they are all deeply involved with certain core tasks such as helping teachers with lesson planning; observing teachers at work; giving feedback n observed lessons; and supporting teachers while they process new knowledge and experience different ways of teaching methodologies.
This book has been written after going through tremendous mental dilemma as the author has been involved with education and transforming knowledge, recruitment of faculty members for various education groups based in India and Canada.
