Abstract
Background and History
Evolution of Voluntary Teacher Forum is rooted in
some organizational priorities, concerns of teacher
community and joint initiative. It was in 2009 that as
an organization we were in Tonk and Sirohi District
and were exploring alternate methods of teacher
professional development under the circumstances
when in Rajasthan entire academic support system
for teachers consisting Block Resource Center and
Cluster Resource Centers were abolished. We were
thinking about an idea that is ideologically different,
which is primarily driven by teachers, assumes that
teacher is a thinking individual, and which does not
have problems of formal in-service teacher training
programs. In our effort to address this we decided
to provide a platform to self-introspecting teachers
where they can share with, question and learn
from each other. The central idea was/is to provide
teachers the needed space to talk openly about all
issues concerning the teaching-learning processes
in schools. Hence we decided to create voluntary
spaces for teachers.
