Teachers are to abide by the following codes for the institution to function smoothly & harmoniously:
1. Strict adherence to college
Teachers, being role models, would require to conduct themselves as per college rules. Uluberia College is a co-ed institution, located in a multi-communal, semi-urban belt of West Bengal. Given its inclusive environment, it has a set of rules which teachers, appointed from across Bengal, are to abide by.
2. Professional Ethics
Apart from being punctual and disciplined, their professional ethics call them to be upright in their words and actions. Gender equality, communal harmony, the democratic, social and secular spirit of the nation are a few value-based learnings, delivered through daily curricular transactions. Teachers are not to, simply, explain these values but to live up to them as walking examples of highest standards.
3. Kindness
Kindness is key to learning. Harsh treatments from even, pedagogically, most skilled-teachers are counter-effective for young, impressionable minds. Teachers are to be kind and gentle. They are to conduct themselves professionally and, under no circumstances, should let their personal predicaments cloud their judgments during student-treatment.
4. Effective curriculum transaction
For effective curriculum transaction, teachers are to conduct regular classes, arrange formative evaluations, written and oral, provide remedial teachings and arrange activities for experiential & participative learning.
5. Active-participation
Teachers’ active participation, in and outside class activities, drive students to be equally enthusiastic about their college and learning. Teachers should facilitate class discussion, provide adequate reinforcement for participation from back-benchers, promote useful knowledge for students to attend classes willingly and conduct community outreach activities for students’ all-round development. They are to avidly respond to institution's call for academic and administrative assistance.
6. Harmonious relationship
Teachers, especially Department Heads, are to maintain harmony within and among Departments to ensure democratic and equal treatment of all faculties - novice and experienced. All voices should be heard and valued to ensure excellence in both individual and group performances. Harmonious relations with all stakeholders will uphold the democratic and inclusive environment of the institution.
7. Professional knowledge and skill updating
Teachers are to time and again update their professional knowledge and skills as per new policies, initiated by Govt. of West Bengal for Higher Education. The professional developmental programs should not be a mere means for certification to enhance Academic Performance Indicators. Teachers should utilize their new knowledge for student and institutional welfare.
8. Follow leave rules
Teachers are to follow leave rules as prescribed by Govt. of West Bengal and University of Calcutta statutory rules. Leave without prior notification and overstay should be avoided. Casual Leaves must be informed via WhatsApp so that students can be notified and Provisional Classes can be arranged.
