Teachers pedagogical skills are aimed at facilitating teaching and learning processes by emphasizing on the techniques of instilling excellence in quality of instruction. Instructional management methodologies assist teachers in planning and assessing lesson plans, grade books, attendance tracking, unit tests, progress reports, and report cards.

This would enable a teacher to acquire the necessary pedagogical skills that are useful and very important in the arrangement of refresher training.
