Academically inclined-have
their own compulsions
/limitations ….
The Physical Education /
Sports coaching imparted is
mostly Sport Specific;
Sport Specific approach
mostly tend to get centered
towards those students who
play well / perform well;
Thus lacks equitable
attention-resulting in reduced
interest /participation…

..are the right place for
Physical Education &
Sports exposure;
..have the right age group
critical numbers to make
a play meaningful ;
…fit to impart adequate
age appropriate exposure
to ‘Physical Education &
Sports’ right from an

This is not possible within

9. Paradigm shift in a Teacher’s Role
• The need is to educate the children holistically ;
• This leads to make the curriculum inclusive i.e.; integration of
co-scholastic area in the curriculum;
• To meet the above challenges schools started partnering with
service providers to tap their expertise in co-scholastic areas;
• A teacher’s role is no longer restricted to
facilitate learning within classrooms;
• In addition teacher has to ensure successful
implementation and mgmt of such programs;
• In the emerged scenario, School Mgmt
expect a teacher to be decisive & Multi-
tasking; which calls for teachers to be :
-a team member ,a guide to stakeholders' ,
- liaison with different service providers;
- eventually to ensure that the objectives are achieved ;

• The changing role inside and outside of
classroom is resulting with the following
newer challenges for the teachers ;
• Scholastic & Co-scholastic areas:

tools to supplement the curriculum &
assessment tools;

learning;
