Program Framework for 2 Year B. Ed

The 2-Year B.Ed course aims at a complete development of the student teacher; particularly knowledge and skills, in individual care of the learner and also in the methods and evaluation designed to facilitate learning.

At Chitkara College of Education, we understand and appreciate the importance of “LEARNING TO FUNCTION AS A TEACHER” module for an effective 2-Year B.Ed Program which enables student-teachers to acquire beginning teaching competencies.

“LEARNING TO FUNCTION AS A TEACHER” module will take the form of shorter period of attachment with schools for school experience and teaching assistantship and another of a longer duration for block teaching.

Our student-teachers also complete a one-year service-learning project which helps to develop the holistic person in the student-teacher.

Apart from regular internship in leading schools/ Educational organisations of the country, there will also be an intensive focus on classroom teaching where leading practitioners from across the country will interact with our B.Ed teachers. The intensive modules with renowned academicians and industry experts will be spread across the 2 years.

Our 2-Year B.Ed program is suitable for students who want to specialise in teaching of following subjects

Collaboration with North India’s Leading Private Schools

THE STRENGTH OF OUR INITIAL teacher preparation lies in the very strong integration between content & pedagogical preparation, the design and development of which is strongly backed by evidence-based educational research. A strong partnership model between leading private schools and Chitkara University is seen through the many school-based practicum postings enabling student-teachers an opportunity to translate theoretical knowledge to practical application in teaching and learning.

This component, as the title suggests, is visualised as essentially a school based experiential learning for the student-teacher in not only aspects related to teaching, learning of their subject areas in the classroom, but also to gain insight and sensitivity into the holistic part played by teacher in sustaining and evolving school ethos.

During practicum, student teachers would be guided and assisted by their cooperating teachers at some of the best private schools of North India and Chitkara University faculty through systematic observations, assistance and advice. Our partner schools agree to give opportunities for them to become involved with and actively participate in all aspects of the school’s activities and through these experiences, will learn to link theory and practice, and acquire the understanding and skills necessary for teaching effectively in a range of classroom situations.
