Teacher Education refers to a complete program for continuous professional development of the teachers. The role of the teacher in the past only focused as a professor. Compared to the present system of education, more teachers act as facilitators of knowledge that should be better prepared and sensitized to produce and use learning situations effectively and efficiently. It is an undisputed fact that the teachers at all levels of education need their effective education and training with the assumption that though teachers are born a large pool of teachers of a country needs to be professionally developed. The changing role of educators, teachers need to be more innovative, creative, and effective in delivery and always thinking of new approaches to adapt their practices to the requirements of students as a knowledge worker in the era of the information revolution of the 21st century.
