National Mission for Mentoring

June 2, 2023

In a constant effort to enhance the quality of education and support the growth of teachers, the National Mission for Mentoring (NMM) was established. Recently, a capacity building workshop was organized recently by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE).

Continuous Professional Development through Mentoring

The primary purpose of the National Mission for Mentoring is to facilitate the continuous professional development of school teachers through mentoring. Recognizing the importance of ongoing support and guidance for educators, the NMM aims to create a robust system of mentorship that empowers teachers to enhance their teaching practices and overall effectiveness in the classroom.

The Pilot Launch of NMM

The NMM was launched in pilot mode on 29th July 2022. As part of this initial phase, a select number of central schools were chosen to implement the program and provide valuable insights for its future expansion and refinement.

Selection of Central Schools

A total of 30 central schools were selected to participate in the pilot mode of NMM. Among these, 15 Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs), 10 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs), and 5 Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) affiliated schools were included. This diverse selection ensured representation from different educational institutions and backgrounds.

Launch and Capacity Building Workshop

The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) played a pivotal role in launching the NMM in pilot mode. As part of the launch, a two-day capacity building workshop was organized by the NCTE. The objective of the workshop was to provide quality professional support to teachers and equip them with the necessary mentoring skills to excel in their roles.

Responsibility of Teachers in Successful Mentoring Sessions

Teachers themselves play a crucial role in conducting successful mentoring sessions using the NMM Web Portal. By actively engaging with the platform and leveraging the available resources, teachers can foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement. The NMM Web Portal serves as a valuable tool for teachers to seek guidance, share best practices, and reflect on their teaching methodologies.

Expert Mentors Onboarded

To ensure the effectiveness of the NMM, 60 outstanding professionals with expertise in various domains were onboarded as mentors. These mentors possess specialized knowledge and skills in areas such as instructional leadership, digital education, socio-emotional learning, inclusive education, professionalism and ethics, classroom management, and more. Their collective expertise provides teachers with a diverse range of support and guidance tailored to their individual needs.
