Abstract

The focus of this paper is to examine various in-service teacher training programs offered to both licensed and normal trained teachers in Tanzania. It includes effective ways of improving teaching performance for in-service training students, types of in-service teacher training offered to both licensed and normal trained teachers, self-initiatives taken by both two types of teachers to undergo in-service training, challenges and problems facing licensed and normal trained teachers, conclusion and recommendations. The paper ends up by outlining some recommendations that should be taken by the government and other stake-holders to minimize the challenges and problems facing these two types of teachers as far as the education sector in Tanzania are concerned.
