Evaluation and Feedback
AnnuAl RepoRt 2014-15 teachers from all parts of the country both in the rural and urban areas. Evaluation is an essential component of each training

Evaluation is a process of assessing, measuring the effectiveness of the training programmes. The CCRT has been training school

programme organised by the CCRT. In every training programme, two to four evaluation sessions are conducted. The participants
are given structured questionnaires so that they may express their views on different aspects of the course content. Various
techniques of formal and informal evaluations are applied to assess the knowledge during the training programmes.

The CCRT trains approximately 1700 in-service teachers in the various “Orientation Courses” and Workshops on “Role of
Puppetry in Education” organised from time to time in a year. A feedback programme has been designed to maintain regular
contact with trainees to study their follow-up work in schools and to evaluate the effectiveness of the programmes conducted
and use of educational material provided. The evaluations and suggestions from trainees working in the schools assist the CCRT
in revitalising and enriching its activities.
