Advancing Professional Growth in Teaching
Altering the DNA of Alpha Teachers
At the heart of Chitkara University’s academic landscape stands the Department of Education (DoE)—a transformative hub for future educators, formerly known as Chitkara College of Education (2003–July 2024). Established in 2003 and accredited by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) and the Punjab State Government, the department offers a dynamic Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) program and the newly launched 4-Year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP)—both designed to nurture “Alpha Teachers” who teach with empathy, innovate with purpose, and lead with impact.
DoE’s curriculum is thoughtfully aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through experiential learning, interdisciplinary integration, and global exposure, students engage in internships, classroom observations, mock teaching, and collaborative workshops that bridge theory with practice. International exchange programs, Global Week celebrations, and an active research culture further empower students and faculty to contribute meaningfully to the evolving educational landscape.
What truly sets the department apart is its unwavering commitment to sustainability—not just environmental, but educational and social. By fostering a strong industry–academic interface and offering robust placement support, DoE ensures its graduates are not only classroom-ready but future-ready.
A Tribute to the Team Behind the Vision
At the core of this transformative journey is a team of passionate educators, visionary leaders, and tireless coordinators who embody the very values they seek to instil. Their dedication to nurturing future-ready teachers is reflected in every lesson plan, every event curated, and every milestone achieved. Whether designing impactful curricula, mentoring aspiring educators, or fostering global collaborations, the DoE team leads with heart and purpose.
Their synergy fuels a culture of excellence, inclusivity, and innovation—making the department not just a place of learning but a thriving community of changemakers. Together, they are not only shaping Alpha Teachers—they are shaping the future of education itself.
