Introduction: Today’s education system is
totally modernized. Use of technology in the field of education has brought=
tremendous
changes in the total scenario of education. Education system is the key to
success. It is only the education system which can bring development. Because education and development go side by side.
Development is the another name of education.
Education system is the base of all kinds of hopes and expectation. If we a=
ctually
want to cause development, it is essential to modify the education systems.
Teachers are the integral part of total education system. They are the person who play the vital role in shaping the future o=
f the
children and bringing the desired development. Therefore the education syst=
em
is directly dependent on these group of people. =
The
role played by the teachers and their effectiveness in discharging the
multi-faceted roles in the premises of educational institutions means lot.
Indirectly it means to the fact that success of education depends on the
effectiveness of the teachers. In an educational institution, there are var=
ied
personnel playing varied roles to achieve the desired goal of education. We
can’t ignore their presence in the scenario as well as their importance. But
teachers are bestowed with not only the responsibility of teaching but also
many other duties and roles which will contribute towards the all-round
development of the children. In today’s technology oriented society, the
responsibilities of the teachers have become more complex to prepare the
children to cop with such up-dated and moderniz=
ed
society. In such situation, teachers ability and
effectiveness are measured very minutely keeping in mind the objectives of
modern education. In such arena, the question of training comes. Training f=
or
the teachers is as much important as training for a physician to deal with a
patient’s body. Teaching is not a very easy job which just denotes the stan=
ding
of a teacher in front of a group of people called “students”. It is much mo=
re
than that. Teaching is an art. To carry out this art one has to posses the
qualities of T=3DTeachability, E=3DEffeciency,

We know planning is the pre-requisite condition for bringing success in any
activity. Planning of the lesson helps the teachers to carry out his day-to=

planning with regard to the teaching of a school subject means the planning=

by
the teacher in specific school period for the realization of some stipulated
instructional objectives. It is a sort of theoretical chalking out of detai=

of the journey that a teacher is going to perform practically in the classr=
oom
along with the students. As Classroom teaching falls at the top in the list=
of
the duties performed by a teachers, therefore one of the most important res=
ponsibility
of the teacher educator in the training institute is to give both theoretic=
al
and practical knowledge of lesson planning, which falls at the pre-active p=
