SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PHASE 1- WEEK 1

  •   DAY 1
       19/08/2024, Monday

The first phase of our teaching practice began today at Govt. Girls High School, Mavelikara. My friends Sunila, Manna, Merin, Kerthy, Sneha, and I arrived at the school at 9:30 a.m. Merin was assigned as our school leader, and we met the Headmistress, Anitha. After signing the attendance sheet, the teacher gave us necessary instructions. We were directed to the senior assistant, who provided us with the school timetable and allocated specific divisions to each of us. We were provided with a room, and we settled there. I was assigned to 8C. The day officially started at 9:45 a.m., and it was a peaceful and holistic experience. According to the timetable, I had the 6th period, but I didn't get an opportunity to take the class because my school mentor, Santhosh Sir, one of the mathematics teachers, needed to cover the portion for the upcoming Onam exam. Instead, I was asked to assist and monitor the students in class 7B, where they were writing notes in Malayalam. It was an interesting session, and I had the chance to interact with the students.

After lunch at 12:45 p.m., classes resumed at 1:20 p.m. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the opportunity to teach on the first day, which was a bit disappointing for me. However, we all liked the school atmosphere. We left the school at 3:45 p.m. after the national anthem.





      •      DAY 2

                21/08/2024, Wednesday

      On the second day of our teaching practice at Govt. Girls High School, Mavelikara, we arrived at the school around 9:30 a.m., just like the previous day. After signing the attendance sheet, we gathered in the room assigned to us. According to the timetable, I had the 6th period scheduled for class 8C, where I was supposed to teach mathematics. I was excited and well-prepared for my first official class. However, my mentor, Santhosh Sir, had to cover some topics for the upcoming Onam exam, so I couldn't teach as planned. Instead, I received a substitution period during the 4th period in the same class. I introduced myself to the students and began the lesson. Started a new chapter Money math and the class went very smoothly ,asked the students if they understood the topic. They responded positively, which boosted my confidence in teaching.

      We participated in the meal session, and after lunch at 12:45 p.m., the afternoon session resumed at 1:20 p.m. I spent the rest of the day assisting in evaluating the NASA exam papers for the 9th-grade students and continued observing the school environment.

      The day concluded at 3:45 p.m. with the national anthem, and we left the school for the day.




      •     DAY 3

                          22/08/2024, Thursday

      As usual, we arrived at the school at 9:30 a.m. and signed the attendance sheet in the Headmaster's room. The morning assembly was conducted by the 9th-grade students, during which a certificate was awarded to a student for participating in a Malayalam quiz organized by KUTC Kunnam.I had a substitution class with 8C during the 4th period. Later, as per the timetable, I taught the 6th period in the same class. The lesson on simple interest went smoothly, and I was able to manage the class effectively. Since I had two periods, I covered two lesson plans that were already prepared. The students actively participated in the activities, making the session engaging and enjoyable. We are gradually becoming more attached to the school atmosphere after a long time. 
      Overall, it was an interesting and fulfilling day. We left the school at 3:45 p.m. after the National Anthem.

      We arrived at the school around 9:30 a.m. and signed the attendance register. I continued the chapter on 'Money Math' and introduced the new topic of interest. I was able to manage the class effectively, and the students actively participated in the activities. After lunch, we assisted the teachers in evaluating the answer sheets for the NASA exam conducted for 9th-grade students. This teaching practice has truly been a valuable phase in developing our teaching skills and proficiency. We are becoming more connected to the school atmosphere day by day. We left the school at 3:50 p.m. after the National Anthem.

      SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PHASE 1- WEEK-7

            DAY 22 14/10/2024-MONDAY After the school reopened following the Pooja holidays and the weekend, I reached the school at 9:15 AM and signed the attendance sheet in the HM's office. The atmosphere was lively, with students and teachers getting back into the routine after the break.   During the day, I had three classes: one scheduled as per my timetable and two substitution classes. One of the substitution classes was with the 7th-grade students, and the other was with the 8th-grade students, where I was able to continue with the lesson I had planned. This allowed me to complete 23 lessons in total, which is progressing well towards my goals.  The students were very engaged and participated actively during the lessons. It was encouraging to see them retain the concepts we had covered before the holidays and eager to continue learning. Overall, it was a productive day, and I felt a sense of satisfaction from the enthusiasm and engagement of the stu...

      COGNITIVE MAP

      Image
       As part of my B.Ed. curriculum, I prepared two Cognitive Maps to visually represent the conceptual flow of mathematical topics. The first map was based on the "Sequences and Series" chapter from the Plus One syllabus, outlining the progression of concepts from arithmetic and geometric sequences to their sums, highlighting the interconnections between different types of series, formulas, and real-life applications. The second map focused on the "Continuity and Differentiability" chapter from the Plus Two syllabus, depicting the transition from fundamental continuity concepts to differentiability, including important theorems, derivative rules, and their significance in calculus. This structured representation helped in understanding how each concept builds upon the previous one, making problem-solving more systematic and logical. Creating these maps was a valuable exercise, as it reinforced my own understanding while also serving as an effective teaching tool fo...

      PHASE 1 TEACHING PRACTICE @ GOVERNMENT GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL MAVELIKARA

      Image
        Teaching practice is a crucial component of the B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education) program, providing aspiring teachers with hands-on experience in a real classroom setting. This phase allows trainees to apply the theoretical knowledge they've gained during their coursework in a practical environment, helping them develop essential teaching skills. Trainees are assigned to schools where they take on the role of teachers. They are responsible for planning and delivering lessons, managing the classroom, and engaging with students. This gives them the opportunity to apply different teaching methods and strategies they've learned. During the teaching practice, trainees work under the supervision of an experienced teacher, known as a mentor. The mentor provides guidance, feedback, and support to help the trainee improve their teaching techniques. At the end of each day or week, trainees often reflect on their teaching experiences, identifying areas of strength and those that need im...
