An enlightened teacher is the most important repository of knowledge; yet, we seem to rely more on the concept of an inborn teacher rather than a made teacher. There is always a scope for improvement and even the most experienced teacher can improve his/her teaching skills. Educational psychologists strongly recommend training the teacher in art and science of educational technology.
