Teacher Training Brochure

When you decide to be a teacher, you are entering a sacred portal. To be a professional entails not just sharing information but releasing that tremendous potential within a young, growing person to the fullest. Also it entails working on oneself.

At Mirambika Teacher Education Institute, we aim to go beyond the boundaries of "school learning" as is generally understood. We address the more fundamental questions of human growth and evolution.

INSPIRATIONS

Our Teacher Training Education Program has its roots almost wholly in the yogic philosophy and vision of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. The chief purpose of education, in Sri Aurobindo's and the Mother's view, is to awaken and draw out the innate, latent and veiled 'divine perfection' that already exists in the learner.

Mirambika Teacher Training Education Program attempts to translate this profound philosophy into practice.

LEARNING FORMATS AND EVALUATION

In the Mirambika Teacher Training Education Program there is an integration of theory with practicals and practice teaching throughout the course. This becomes possible because of the pilot Mirambika Free Progress School situated in the same campus. The program provides a theoretical background that is conveyed through regular courses, participatory seminars, readings followed by discussion etc. It adds training in practical work skills and work experience in a teaching-learning setting.
