ITW Genesis

Teaching is the soul of any education system, with this philosophy at the core of BITS Pilani education system, the Intensive Teaching Workshop (ITW) was conceived of nearly five decades ago. Essentially it focuses on imparting training for quality teaching to the new faculty and helping them acclimatize with the BITS education system. Over the years ITW has evloved into a dynamic and vibrant learning unit. It also encompasses the latest pedagogical practices and improvisations in order to making the training more useful and relevant. Keeping in view the changing academic challenges, ITW aims at boosting the confidence of the faculty participants in teaching, assessment and evaluation, using technology both as a platform and as a teaching aid, engaging learners effectively and working on the learning outcomes of teaching following the revised Blooms Taxonomy. At present, the philosophy being practiced at ITW for so long, perfectly aligns with the ethos and the directives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes Continuous Professional Development of faculty irrespective of the level of education level they are engaged in school, college or university.
