Further these issues need to be practised in the classrooms and subsequently there is a need to share the reflections of the teachers on its implications.
Here the School complex meetings play a critical role in revitalizing the energies of the teaching community towards shared goal i.e., “Improving the classroom processes for better learning” More over the School complex meetings are not mere meeting of teachers, in fact they are the centers for conduct of training of teachers on continuum basis.
In Fact the school complex meetings are the extension of the training of teachers. The AWP & B of SSA indicates the School complex meetings under training component. Although the present framework of school complex meetings covers only Elementary schools i.e., teachers handling classes I to VIII.
As a matter of fact Class-VIII and upper primary sections VI & VII classes are part of High schools as per the structure of High schools in the State. The teachers who are handling these classes, at least class-VIII are handling classes IX and X.
Hence in this background, the concept of school complex meetings may be extended to even for the classes IX and X which falls under RMSA.
Although the teachers are one and same teaching VIII, IX and X , with the extension of classes, the teachers may have the opportunity to discuss the academic issues of classes IX and X also. TS School Complex meetings Schedule
