Training Strategy
The training will be in the mode of participatory approach and with due emphasis on experiential learning by providing enough hands of experiences to the individuals on classroom teaching, multi-grade teaching, preparation of supporting material, planning and assessment procedure. In case of class-I and Class-II, the focus is also given on Early literacy skills.
For conduct of training at mandal level, a trainer’s package for Resource participants and handouts for the trainees are prepared. The trainer package will be given to DRPs in the State level training. The same handouts for the trainees have to be given in the training programme to be conducted at the mandal level.
Training Schedule at Mandal Level from 20th October, 2014.

The training schedule for the Primary level trainings as mandal levels should be from 20th October onwards in different spells and phases as follows:

A group of 20 mandals to be clustered as a unit.
Three days training should be conducted for teachers of classes I and II and classes III to V
The training to be given in the specified subjects on rotational basis in four spells.
Care to be taken in each spell, as to see that each mandal covers only one subject either of classes I & II or Classes III to V.
In 12 working days, the training should be covered in entire 20 mandals by 40 DRPs who are trained at state Level.
In about 36 working days, the entire training of primary teachers should be completed in the districts having about. 60 mandals in three phases.
The detail schedule is worked out and incorporated in the guidelines prepared as a reference to the DPOs.
For conduct of training at mandal levels, the following norms should be followed as the unit cost sanctioned by MHRD i.e., Rs 100/- per participant per day. Accordingly, the financial commitment for the Mandal Level training for the 50 members is as follows
Unit cost for 50 persons to conduct a 3-day orientation to teachers at mandal level

Unit cost for DRGs to conduct 3-day orientation to teachers at mandal level

The above mentioned table indicates break up of item specific cost for conduct of 3-day orientation at mandal level in one subject for 50 teachers out of an allocation. of Rs. 100/- per teacher per day as per the budget approved by the Govt. of India. Accordingly for 50 teachers the total training cost @ Rs. 100/- per teacher per day for 3-days is Rs. 15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only).

This amount has to be met from the budget allocation under in-service teacher training at mandal level for 2014 – 15.
