ENVIRONMENT
SBINSET is designed to adjust to any type of environment existing in a school. In fact, the programme accepts the local environment as it is and induces professionalism into it by introducing a teaching learning culture. However, proper professional attitude among teachers and headmasters will contribute to conducive school climate for the SBINSET programme. Whereas in a school with good traditions, the programme may find its way quickly; in others, the process of initiation and guidance would demand proper motivational techniques.
The school climate must be democratic. The school administration should encourage democratic functioning in decision making and free interaction among teachers and an exceptionally good and competent headmaster will add to a good school environment. The school administration can generate the same by appreciating the initiatives taken by teachers and rewarding the same. Sponsoring the teachers for external INSET programmes will further increase the competence of teachers for organising better SBINSET programes. Their involvement in the school planning is another important activity which would promote proper school environment.
In a school where the staff problems are sorted out in a humanistic way, school climate tends to be conducive. The school environment should also help teachers in experimentation. It should be flexible enough to accommodate and encourage initiative to teachers. Free thinking and democratic attitude should always be promoted in the school. It will go a long way to make the atmosphere thus created in the school to make SBINSET programme a success.
FACILITIES
SBINSET programme may be implemented under any condition and circumstances. An essential requirement in this regard is the willingness on the part of teachers. However, providing adequate physical facilities like a good staffroom, a well-equipped library and laboratory will improve the functioning of SBINSET.
