About CENTA Teaching Professionals' Olympiad TPO 2015

CENTA 'Teaching Professionals' Olympiad' (TPO) is a first-of-its-kind national competition for teachers and also the first

step towards the CENTA Certification. TPO is an objective computer-based assessment. TPO 2015 had The Hindu and HCL

as primary partners, with Varkey Foundation and Kaizen as additional partners.

Centre for Teacher Accreditation (CENTA) (www.centa.org) aims to empower teachers and catalyse teacher professional

development, by identifying outstanding teachers and teacher candidates, and creating a range of career, recognition

and professional development opportunities, for them as well as the schools and B.Ed. colleges they belong to. Through

this, CENTA aims to contribute to the quality of school education and to teaching becoming a more preferred and

celebrated profession.

 The CENTA Certification is based on the CENTA Standards, developed through rigorous international benchmarking and

inputs from 100+ stakeholders in India, and to be updated on based on continued inputs and experience.

Coverage of CENTA Standards in TPO 2015

Out of the competencies listed in the CENTA standards (www.centa.org/standards), TPO covers a subset that are

relatively more suited for objective testing. The chart below indicates the levels of testing done by the TPO, for different

competency areas for new, experienced and senior teachers, respectively.

Foundational testing means that the particular competency has been covered by TPO to a smaller extent and in-depth testing is needed in the

 practical part of the Certification; indicative testing means that the particular competency has been covered reasonably though the practical may 

cover some more aspects; and advanced testing means that the particular competency has been covered sufficiently and the practical will have

limited coverage of it. New/ Experienced/ Senior Teacher  refers to where a teacher is in his/her career, typically having experience of 0-3 years/ 

3-10 years/ >10 years, respectively, though these are broad guidelines and candidates can self-assess their career stage.

Next Steps after TPO 2015

 TPO 2015 has also been the starting point of a community of motivated teachers from all over the country. We hope to

help keep this community alive through useful information and exchanges on our website as well as Facebook pages

from time to time.

Further, in the next two to four months, Centre for Teacher Accreditation is launching its CENTA Certification of Levels 1,

2 and 3, for new, experienced and senior teachers, respectively. The Certification has detailed practical testing, in

addition to the objective component. For those who have participated in TPO, the score from the same will be considered

towards the objective component, and for those who have not participated in TPO, they can complete the objective test

along with the practical components.

In 2016, CENTA will take up a maximum of 300 candidates for the CENTA Certification, on first come first serve basis. We

will keep TPO 2015 participants informed on a priority basis through your registered email address, post which we will

announce the launch on our website and Facebook pages. Please watch out for the same towards the end of March and

we look forward to hearing from you if you are interested.
