3 ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN EDUCATION FOR IN-SERVICE TEACHERS INTRODUCTION The Associate Degree in Education (ADE) for In-service Teachers is designed for practicing teachers to enhance their content and pedagogical knowledge and skills. Although most of the universities and degree awarding institutions (DAIs) across Pakistan have successfully introduced the Associate Degree in Education for Pre-service Teachers, 300,000 practicing teachers in elementary schools remain inadequately prepared or under-qualified. Furthermore, beginning in 2018, the career progression opportunities for most of these in-service teachers will be closed as the ADE or B.Ed. degrees will be mandatory for induction and promotion. Therefore, it is critical to open new avenues for professional development and career advancement for practicing teachers. The vision of bringing about a country-wide qualitative change in education can only become a reality if these large numbers of elementary level teachers are initiated into the newly envisaged education system. The ADE for In-service Teachers is an important step in realizing this vision.

4 4 Institute of Education, Lahore College for Women University OBJECTIVES The ADE for In-service Teachers targets elementary teachers who have completed 12 years of schooling and one year of professional education (e.g., CT, DIE or equivalent). The program aims to enhance practicing teachers content knowledge and pedagogical skills and provide in-service teachers an opportunity to move up the career ladder. In summary, the four primary objectives of the ADE In-service Teacher Education program are to: 1. Upgrade and advance content knowledge of the practicing teachers. 2. Enhance pedagogical skills and knowledge of the practicing teachers. 3. Equip practicing teachers with essential professional skills and competencies. 4. Facilitate practicing teachers to be in a competitive position for career progression.
