The document proposes an innovative framework for in-service teacher training programs with the following key elements: 1. It shifts from one-time training to a continuous development program built around communities of practice, learning partnerships, and networked learning. 2. The program focuses on developing understanding through interactive courses, teacher learning projects, monthly seminars, and online forums to discuss pedagogy, content, attitudes and skills. 3. It emphasizes e-readiness, reflective practice, research, and sharing best practices to interconnect teachers and continuously enhance their knowledge, skills, and professional judgment.

2. In-Service, we define as
• In service training is a process and a part of continuing
education that helps the teachers to gain greater insight into
teaching.
• In this training teachers become involved in order to broaden
their knowledge, improve their skills and attitudes. This
training takes place once the teacher has joined a school and
can be both formal or informal in nature

One way of building an understanding is through
seminars and discussing the ideas at theoretical
level.
