Education forms one of the main foundations for the growth of a country. If the educational policies are not sound, there will be no skilled teachers and the entire educational edifice will collapse. For this reason Shivalik College offers BEd course to enhance the teaching abilities of teachers. The content of this course is such that it develops the skills and widens the understanding so that a teacher can impart quality education to his students. The course lays stress on inculcating the right altitude so as to make the teacher-students skilled m coming up with innovating teaching techniques. The teacher-students become more competent in understanding psychological principles of growth and development and individual differences of the students they leach. There is a separate section in this course where you learn to guide the children and counsel them in solving their personal and academic problems. Teachers play a very important role in a students life. Its the teacher who guides the students through career. So it is very significant to be adequately equipped with resources that will create the teacher an ideal role model to the students. To achieve this, D Ed (JBT) & B Ed courses were introduced, which will teach a person about teaching and the different aspects associated with it. The College has excellent and experienced faculty with spacious class rooms and an excellent library as per the required standards.
