The Teaching Practice Programme at Rana Pratap Mahila Teachers Training College offers trainees hands-on experience to develop their teaching skills.

The programme combines theory with practice, focusing on lesson planning, teaching methods, and the use of educational technology, ensuring that students are well-prepared to become confident and effective educators.
The B.Ed. course is divided into two parts: Theory and Practice. In this context, ‘Practice’ refers to Teaching Practice, which is a crucial aspect of teacher education. The college organizes the Teaching Practice Programme immediately after the demonstration lessons. During this phase, trainees plan and deliver lessons in their respective schools, utilizing appropriate teaching aids, under the guidance and supervision of their expert subject teachers. Trainees are required to observe at least 10 lessons taught by their peers, regularly check students’ homework, and maintain records of their students’ progress.
Block Practice Teaching, also known as field experience in teaching, is an intensive and essential part of the teacher training program. Organized by the college, this component allows pupil-teachers to plan and deliver two lessons, one in each school subject. During this phase, they gain firsthand experience in secondary schools, participating in various school activities under the guidance and supervision of expert teacher-trainers. Additionally, trainees engage in educational, socio-economic, historical, geographical, language, biological, and cultural surveys, enriching their understanding of the school environment and community.
