Reflections on School Induction Programme

-
On 13th January, 2023, a reflective session on the School  Induction Programme for first year BEd students was held in General Hall 2 in the afternoon session. Ms. Sibana  hosted the programme.  After delivering the welcome address, Ms. Sibana reflected on the visit to Govt Girls HS, Manacaud by perusing her blog post regarding the same.  She then invited the leaders of each student teacher group to share their experiences. Ms. Lekshmi shared her experience on the visit to Govt Girls HS, Manacaud. Mr. Ajmal Roshan added to the same , representing the Commerce Department. Ms. Keerthana Anil  familiarised the audience with the functioning of Poojappura Chinnamma Memorial school and also shared some moments of teachers' insolent behavior towards the students there which she least expected and which literally disenchanted her. Ms. Angitha Giri shared her thoughts about Cotton Hill Govt GHS and her experience with cooperative teaching and learning.   Ms. Arsha dismantled the preconceived notion of the audience regarding the nature of learners in Thycaud Govt Model Boys HSS by recalling her memorable moments there. Ms. Bhagya Murali disseminated her penchant for Karamana Govt Girls HS and the teachers there, through her speech. She asserted that she as well as her team members are willing to visit the school again for third semester teaching practice, if allowed to do so. I have shared our groups' experiences at Peroorkada Govt Girls HSS with the spectators,mostly bitter moments like the indifferent attitude from the part of school teachers and the poor administration there, with the result that Ms.Shyba, Assistant Professor and  the coordinator of the School Induction programme had declared the college's decision not to  send student teachers to Peroorkada GGHSS for induction in the future. Dr. VK Santhosh Kumar sir, the principal of GCTE reviewed our reflections and talked about the need for further developments that need to be effected in public sector schools both infrastructure-wise and academically, by drawing slices from his own interactions in different schools. The programme concluded with the rendition of  vote of  thanks by Ms. Devika PS.

Teaching Practice: Phase 1: Day 22

I engaged two periods for 8E class today. Since the lesson 'The Nightingale and the Rose' was completed, I gave the learners a few activities based on the same. A story board completion chart was displayed and the learners were randomly called to complete it. After the task, the teacher confirmed the answers and cleared doubts.  I also made the learners do a passage editing activity and error correction activity. During the last period, I conducted a test for them on the poem 'The Sower'. The examination was held for 15 marks and for thirty minutes duration. Since I could not take print outs of the question paper, I wrote down the questions on the board and asked the learners to write down the answers.  After collecting the answer sheets, I asked the pupils to complete a few activities,  including poster making activity given in their English Reader and submit the works by Monday.

"I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" Thus sang the American poet Henry Wadsworth Long fellow. Christmas was traditionally a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus, but in the early 20th century, it also became a secular family holiday, observed by Christians and non-Christians alike.Popular customs of Christmas  include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.

I engaged two periods for 9F today and completed the story 'The Last Leaf' for them. Then I gave necessary instructions to them so that they could complete the textual exercises on their own. I asked the pupils to come up with alternative titles for the lesson . I also dictated to them notes on the poem 'On Killing a Tree' which they took down in their notebooks.  For 8E class, I continued with the story 'A Day in the Country' using vocabulary and powerpoint slides as aid. I had to rush the lesson a bit since their portions were pending and revision classes were about to begin prior to the Christmas examination.  Preparations for the upcoming state-level vocational fests have already begun. My fellow teacher trainees took Physical Education classes during the second and third periods. Manju ma'am asked me to hold a retest for 9F students who could not attend the mid-term examination on Monday. Overall, the day went as usual, in an uneventful mann...
