Registration Link of NPST (National Professional Standards for Teachers)
Introduction
The National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST) seek to fulfil NEP 2020’s objectives of ensuring that all students have equitable access to the best possible education. NPST assures that all teachers should be enthusiastic, driven, highly qualified, well prepared, and equipped to teach all learners at all levels of schooling. It aims to enhance the quality of education by ensuring that all teachers possess the necessary competencies and attributes. The Professional Standards for Teachers outline what is expected of teachers at various career stages and at various levels of expertise, as well as the competencies needed for each.
These standards are to be a set of guiding statements that define the expectations of the role of a teacher at different levels of expertise at different stages of a career. The standards also define what effective teaching looks like and what competencies are required to practice as a teacher in 21st century schools at each stage of the teaching career.
Three Levels of Teaching Competencies:
NPST put forward following three levels as applicable to all domains and competencies of teaching—across the different stages of schooling and subject teaching area. These levels and their descriptions are to be used as enablers to form a view about what teachers are able to do, and areas in which they could develop further.
- Proficient Teacher (Praveen Shikshak): At this career stage, a teacher is expected to be professionally independent to demonstrate the skills vital to teaching and learning.
- Advanced Teacher (Unnat Shikshak): At this career stage, a teacher is expected to embody the utmost standards of teaching grounded in best practices relating to the teaching-learning process. He/she will be professionally capable in the application of skills vital to teaching and learning. Advanced Teachers would be taking on the role of peer leader to teachers at the proficient stage.
- Expert Teacher (Kushal Shikshak): At this level, teachers are expected to embody the highest standard with exceptional capacity for the role of mentor or peer leader and shall help other teachers improve their competencies as well as lead the school’s professional development programme. At this career stage, a teacher will consistently display the best level of performance in 11 their teaching practice, work collaboratively and mentor colleagues to enhance their learning and practice. In addition, an expert teacher will continually seek to develop his/her own professional knowledge and practice by reflecting on one’s learning needs and those of their colleagues and students.
The standards have been defined and classified as pre-requisite competencies to reach a particular stage of the teaching profile. A teacher will meet the pre-requisites by acquiring the skills and sharing evidence of the competencies needed to reach the target career stage. After meeting the standards of a stage, a teacher gets certified and formally progresses to that stage and the teacher shall apply the acquired competencies in the teaching practice and start working on competencies for the next career stage.
Assessment Tools Based on NPST Framework
- Standard 1: Core Values & Ethics
- Standard 2: Knowledge & Practice
- Standard 3: Professional Growth & Development
The domain wise descriptive indicators for different level of teaching are given at Annexure -XXVII. All Teachers are expected to self-evaluate their teaching and try to acquire competencies for next teaching stage.
NPST has the potential to radically transform education by clearly defining standards for mapping teacher quality and indicating a developmental path for teachers to improve their competencies.
