PSI Personnel
PSI personnel consist of PSI teacher, PSI instructor, proctors and class assistants. PSI
teacher is the leader of the course. He works as a manager and observer of the course. He
prepares good written materials and evaluation tools and creates a co-operative atmosphere in
schools. PSI instructor designs the course of instruction and prepares written materials.
Proctors are recruited by PSI teacher. The selection of proctors can be done internally and
externally. Graduate students are selected as external proctors. Internal proctors are selected
from among PSI students who show academic brilliance. They give guidance to the PSI
students who are backward in studies. One or two for a class of 50 or 60 students render their
service as class assistants in conducting unit tests and other projects.
