Abstract

Today in the era of globalization and privatization, the foundation for the composition of any schooling system are its teachers, and as a result, the quality of education depends on their competence, professionalism, commitment, dedication, and attitude. Therefore, the quality of any institution depends on the quality of its teacher/leaders. Teacher’ in the emerging Indian society plays a very pivotal role in the process of any institution development. But only efficient teachers through their effective leadership qualities and skills would be able to provide high quality of education and values among its students. Teachers play a major role for effective class conduction. It is the responsibility of the teacher to make his/her class interesting so that students are keen to attend and participate in the class. Some of the student teachers keep complaining about the class which they teach. The problem is in general related to students’ behavior and discipline. Such students miss out on learning. They usually bunk or are irregular to class. They don’t even bother to be present for the class. So many students today just don’t value their education. Sitting at home doesn’t change their attitude. The fresh look at the approach to classroom management is required.The teacher/leader that is professionally and personally committed would be able to foster capacity building and leadership skills among its teacher trainees. The present paper explores leadership qualities of student teacher in class room teaching.
