LTMT Teaching Training Lecture Workshop Guidelines
Lady Tata Memorial Trust
Guidelines for Conducting Online/Offline Teaching Training Lecture Workshop
The Lady Tata Memorial Trust was established by Sir Dorabji Tata in 1932 in memory of his wife, Lady Meherbai, who was struck with leukaemia in 1930 at the age of 50 and succumbed to the disease a year later in Wales, England, on 18th June 1931. The Trust spends four-fifths of its income on research in leukaemia and other blood-related diseases and one-fifth of its income towards research on the alleviation of human suffering from disease.
Teacher’s Training Program (TTP) is one of the programs under alleviation of human suffering from disease. It is apparent that science is moving ahead fast, and teachers are unable to keep pace due to their routine teaching responsibilities. Most often, teachers are not familiar with the new topics introduced in the changing syllabi of colleges and are unable to teach students effectively. The TTP is targeted to fill in this lacuna. Through the online/offline lecture workshop, college teachers are trained/updated in different experimental techniques/areas of science to teach students efficiently.
The 2–3 days duration TTP is intended for the benefit of teachers at the undergraduate, graduate, and research levels. The online/offline lecture workshop should be designed to have useful relevance to the materials covered in graduate and undergraduate programs and can also cover some topics at the research level.
The college should be conducting B.Sc. / M.Sc. degree courses in biological sciences.
The college should provide evidence of high-quality teaching, details of the number of students, results of students in competitive examinations, and university merit lists. The college should have the necessary infrastructure for conducting the workshop and provide any other relevant information, including the program and budget.The mandate is to train at least 20 teachers. The teachers should be at least five years prior to their retirement and have achievements indicating their teaching capabilities. The choice of the teachers would be the prerogative of the host college.
