"Training implies putting skills into people, when actually we should be developing
people from the inside out beyond these skills"
Effective professional development programs are coordinated, coherent, integrated, and focused on the vision of the institution. Recent national attention to excellence in education has highlighted the issues of teacher competence, quality learning, and educational reforms. Work on standards and rapidly changing technologies, as well as expanding content and pedagogical knowledge bases makes the profession of teaching more demanding and challenging.
Professional Development Programs at HITEC are strategy focused. Director Academics has built an active participatory trio linking the management the faculty and the students in developing, promoting, and implementing professional development programs in educational leadership and teaching methodologies for Principals and teachers.
