What is the qualification of teachers?
Teachers are carefully selected for this program, and are required to meet the state and district standards for teaching as a substitute. There is no credential program or standard test in place right now for qualified teachers to prove their knowledge and proficiency in Hindi, but selected teachers are getting training and guidance from experts in this field. All elementary and secondary school teachers of Indian languages at ICC attended a 4 day workshop in Oral Proficiency Interview offered by American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (www.ACTFL.org). Teachers are required to attend a summer workshop to share thoughts and ideas for effective, well planned lessons.
