Our Vision

DIET, Howrah is a nodal Institute conferring elementary level teachers’ training in Howrah
district. In pursuance of holistic development of child undoubtedly teachers’ training is means
and our view in this regard fully conforms with that of National Education Policy 2020 and
National Curriculum Framework 2023.
Our Vision is that the teacher would act as a facilitator in a student-centric, activity –based, joyful, trauma-free class. Students would be able to construct / logically guess or anticipate/ solve / sort out the Zone of Proximal Development with the help of previous knowledge and experiences, contexts. This is Self- learning and hence the class is student-centric class.
According to Constructivist approach we orient our trainees to enable them to build up classes
where there would be maximum learning and minimum teaching.
Our trainees would be able to devise age-appropriate, level –appropriate tasks and LTMs
(mostly with local components, contexts, ideas resources, flavours) for the students and the
tasks would consist a huge amount of previous knowledge and experiences with a little bit of
unknown to be discovered.
So, in our Vision it is necessary to build up discovery-based class following Heuristic approach. Learning –teaching is to be a continuous, contextualised process and process is no less important than product. We emphasise upon Group activities, Peer-learning, Peer-tutoring as Brain-storming and Mind-mapping would be easier and joyful in this way.
Our trainee –teachers would be able to create joyful and positive ambience in the class.
Emphasis would be upon acquisition, not rote learning anyway.
