                 Evaluation and Feedback



                 Evaluation is process of assessing, measuring the effectiveness of the training programmes. The CCRT has been training school
                 teachers from all parts of the country both in the rural and urban areas. Evaluation is an essential component of each training
                 programme organized by the CCRT. In every training programme, three or 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 teachers in the various “Orientation Courses” and Workshops on “Role of Puppetry in
                 Education” organized 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
                 revitalizing and enriching its activities.

                 Refresher Course


                 The CCRT organizes Refresher Courses for teachers who have participated in its Orientation Course and Workshop on Role of
                 Puppetry in Education. They are invited on the basis of the work that they have been carrying out in their respective schools after
                 being trained by the CCRT. These courses are directed towards specific subjects, aiming to improve the quality of the teaching of
                 curriculum subjects with relevant activities connected with culture.

                 Aims of the Refresher Course (s) are :

                 •  To obtain a feedback from trained teachers on the CCRT’s training programmes and educational materials for future
                     improvements.
                 •  To acquaint teachers with innovative teaching methods.
                 •  To encourage schools to network with other centres of learning, such as museums, art galleries, research institutions, etc
                 •  To encourage teachers to draw upon the creative human resources in the community and bring them to the school for
                     interaction with students.

                 The content of each training programme is open-ended to a certain extent to meet the specific needs and requirement of
                 different groups of trainees.
