Delhi State Teachers' Award sees major overhaul
Applications for this year awards are now open, with five State Teacher Educators' Awards up for grabs.
This year, applicants must go beyond listing years of service and subjects taught. The new form requires detailed submissions, including contributions to Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) research and material development projects over the past three academic years, along with descriptions of each project.
Teachers must also provide details of five research articles or papers published in reputed journals or periodicals.
Additional weightage will be given to those who have made paper or poster presentations at conferences, webinars or symposiums. The form also seeks information on professional development initiatives taken independently by applicants, such as short-term courses or specialised training beyond training and workshops organised by SCERT.
Significantly, educators are now required to elaborate on their involvement in key government initiatives through administrative or academic committees, such as curriculum design or other state-level education reforms.
Participation as resource persons, keynote speakers, or Champion Master Trainer in SCERT and DIET programmes at national or international levels will also count toward evaluation. In a 100-word section, applicants must summarise their academic, co-curricular and training contributions over the last three sessions. Details on community engagement and societal contributions have also been made mandatory.
Applicants are advised to strictly follow the word limit, as exceeding it will lead to marks being deducted.

State launches initiative to bridge learning gap among students
Chennai: The Tamil Nadu school education department on Thursday launched the 'Thiran' (Targeted Help for Improving Remediation and Academic Nurturing) initiative to bridge learning gaps among students studying in Classes VI to IX. Deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin released the workbook for remedial coaching under the scheme. According to the plan, teachers will select students who are struggling to read, write, and do basic maths in upper primary and give them focused coaching for six months. The recent state-level learning achievement survey conducted among Classes III, V, and VIII students revealed that students studying in Class VIII lacked reading, writing, and basic maths skills. "In Aug, all students will learn basic reading, writing, and maths prescribed for lower classes. After conducting a survey, students who need remedial coaching will be selected, and they will be given focused coaching. Their progress will be assessed every month," an official said.

Delhi's State Teachers' Awards require proof of impact, academic rigour
NEW DELHI: Every year on 5 September, the nation celebrates Teachers' Day, honouring educators across the country. This year, the stakes are allegedly higher, and so is the bar. The Delhi Education Department has opened applications for the prestigious State Teachers' Awards, and the process is more rigorous and reflective than ever before. In a fresh move aimed at recognising truly impactful educators, the department has introduced a comprehensive 15-point application form. Far beyond the typical listing of years served and subjects taught, the form urges applicants to share their contributions to PAC (Programme Advisory Committee) research projects, detail their involvement in administrative or academic committees, and submit up to five of their most influential articles published in reputed journals. A total of five State Teacher Educators' Awards will be given this year. Teachers have been asked to mention five completed projects contributed to material development PAC projects in the last three academic sessions, followed by one completed project contributed to PAC research projects in the last three academic sessions. They have also been asked to provide a short description of each project. Unlike in previous years, teachers, like university professors, now have to provide details of five research articles or papers published in journals or periodicals.
