Teacher Education and Professional Development
Teacher Education is one of the major activities of the Centre.
HBCSE has conducted workshops in teacher education, as and when there have been requests from schools and organizations. These workshops have been for the BMC schools, Tribal Department Schools, Rayat Education Society, Satara, Shri Shivaji Education Society, Amravati, Maharashtra Prathamik Shikshan Parishad, SSA, RMSA, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Society, Atomic Energy Education Society, Kendriya Vidyalaya School System, DIET faculty of Bihar, West Bengal, Gujarat, Uttarakhand and varied individual school/teacher education colleges of Mumbai and Maharashtra.
HBCSE proposes to have regular workshops for teacher professional development (TPD), capacity building of school teachers/student teachers and/or teacher educators. These workshops would cater to the inservice or preservice teacher training. It is proposed that these workshops be conducted on a regular basis throughout the year.

Joint Review Mission on Teacher Education
Teacher Education in Science and Mathematics Education
The Centre offers high quality orientation courses for teachers in science and mathematics from primary to undergraduate levels and for teacher educators, including apex-level training courses for resource persons and educational administrators. Course duration varies from a few days to a few weeks.
Accommodation for about 50 visitors is possible in the HBCSE guest house. Long-term arrangements with school networks can be worked out for periodic orientation of their teachers and students.
Courses may be held on the HBCSE campus or at other mutually agreed sites. The Centre can also organise courses on behalf of international agencies. Course fees may be payable on individual or institutional basis.
Short visits of a day or two to see the Centre's laboratories/exhibition, etc. can also be arranged for students and teachers.
Requests for training programmes should be addressed to the Centre Director, HBCSE.
