An on-going concern of the Rishi Valley Education Centre is to nurture the growth of teachers, and enable them to engage with both the philosophical aspects as well as pedagogic practices that underpin a holistic education. An in-house teacher development programme aims at supporting ‘on-the-job’ learning of teachers at the Rishi Valley School. In addition facilities and programmes are planned by which the Centre can reach out to a wider range of schools and teachers.

The Rishi Valley Institute for Teacher Education (RVITE), set up since November 2006, is housed on the first floor of the administrative building of the Rishi Valley Education Centre. It consists of a library-cum-work space, a seminar room and office. Working in close association with the Rishi Valley School and the Rural Education Centre, the faculty at RVITE is engaged in the following range of activities

• Curriculum development projects
• In-service teacher development programmes
• Workshops for outstation teachers
• School support programmes
• Developing mini-courses for teachers
