Thank you for making us aware of the ” motivation for professional development”, Sir Amol Padwad. Progress has to be conditional & the concept of Autonomy, Mastery & Purpose is absolutely wonderful to ponder on for teachers like me the new or the beginner teachers.

Thanks Sir, Amol Padwad for explaining the concept of motivation in such a lucid way!

Hi
The Plenary: Learning to read in India: challenges and opportunities for enhancing quality in teacher education by Rukmini Banerji Ma’am has really been a thought provoking talk for. I tried to analyze my situation in my classroom & It guides me to reflect back on my teaching as far as the reality is concerned.

Thanks Rukmini ma’am for such an inspiring talk & the short video which you had shown in the end!

It really feels great, as it always does, to listen to Prof. Paul Gunashekar. I recall my pre-PhD classes. His lecture on curriculum presents a very comprehensive overview of the field in relation to Indian teacher education scenario.
