Teachers' Day Celebration

-
"The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind." - Kahlil Gibran

Every year, India celebrates Teachers' Day on 5th September to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the country’s first Vice President and former President, scholar, philosopher, and Bharat Ratna awardee, who was born on this day in 1888.
In the year 2023, Teacher's Day was  celebrated with much enthusiasm and joy all around the nation. This special day has always been a significant occasion to honour and appreciate the incredible contributions of teachers in shaping and molding young minds.

On this particular day, students and school staffs came together to express their deepest gratitude for the tireless efforts and dedication of their teachers.

The theme for Teacher's Day 2023 is "Celebrating the Unsung Heroes." It aims to shed light on the immense role that teachers play in society and how their impact extends far beyond the classroom. The event emphasised the importance of recognizing the dedication of teachers in shaping the future of our nation.

Owing to the final viva voce and online examination of B.Ed final year students, Government College of Teacher Education could not observe Teachers' day on September 5th, so the college observed it today. Mr. Jose D. Sujeev, a former student of the college who won the prestigious National Award for Best Teacher was honoured in the event. We also paid respect to Jacob Mathews Sir and Suresh Sir, the former professors of the college known for their pedagogic fervour and practice and who are loved and  reverred  by their students.In the function, Dr. Isaac Paul, Department of Commerce, who was adjudged as the best research supervisor by Association of International Researchers of Indian Origin (AIRIO);  and other teachers were also honoured. Basil ( second semester B.Ed ), whose timely intervention  averted a huge mishap when a fire broke out in the college's computer lab, was also honoured.


The Teachers' Day celebration was a heartwarming and successful event that demonstrated our deep appreciation for the dedicated educators who shape our future. It fostered a sense of  gratitude among students and staff, highlighting the invaluable role teachers play in our lives.

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 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...

I took the rest of the poem 'Marvellous Travel' in 8f class today during the second period. The learners could recall the content dealt with in the previous class.I took the last two stanzas  of the poem there and explained the unfamiliar words using ICT resources. I gave time for the learners to take down the meanings of these words in their note books. A discussion was initiated on the topic 'how to travel without money' and the learners came up with a wide range of ideas like hitchhiking, packing homely food, carrying items for cooking and cooking on the roadside,  travelling by electric vehicles at low cost, carrying tents and camping in allowed places, halting at friends' and relatives' houses and so on. Majority of the students were given a chance to express their view points regarding the topic. The discourse given in class was regarding the formulation of a travel plan with friends. Activities sheets were given so that the pupils could discuss and fill i...
