Teaching Practice- Week 4

 Can't believe it's been already 4 weeks since our teaching practice has started. The idea of online classes sounded very simple and convenient. But it's challenging. Moderating it, trying to understand the emotions of the students through their voices,  students not replying to your questions etc., the challenges list can go on and on. But in this day and age, a teacher must know how to handle online and offline classes.

This week I had 2 classes. One was on Friday and the other was on Saturday. Since both 9I1 and 9J1 had to be combined and they had completed different portions of similar triangles, I had to start a new chapter, Polynomials.

28 Jan 2022,

Today was my first online class and there was a total of around 40 students in attendance. Today Joju sir and Deepthi ma'am had joined us for observation. I began the chapter Polynomials. One thing I found difficult to do was finding the names of the students from the participant list while I'm presenting my ppt. The other issue was handling students who refuse to reply to the questions asked in class.

29th Jan 2022,

Today was my second class. This time I was able to solve a part of my issue. I found a method to see the participant list while I'm presenting my ppt. I'm still working on the other issue. Today there were only 20 students in attendance, but majority of them were very active and replying to the questions asked in class.

Second Phase of Intense Teaching Practice

13th July 2022 The first day was nerve-wracking. It might be the fact that all of us haven't taught a large group of students. During the first internship, most of us had only 8-10 students in a class due to COVID and the idea of teaching a room filled with 50 students seemed to be a challenge. But after meeting the students, eveything seemed to go smooth and it calmed the nerves. The duties were assigned to us by our leader Sreevineetha. I had evening duty, along with Jis and Georgia. We had to make sure that every student gets picked up from school. 14th July 2022 Everyday the teachers have a prayer at the HM's office at 9.10 am. I had lunch duty along with Rubeena, Deepa and Jis.  Today I had to go for substitution at 9A, 10 A, 10 C and 9C. 9A which is an all- boys class with 56 students was difficult to manage. They settled down after I managed to divide them into groups and give them equation related activity. Rubeena and I had gone for substitution at 10 A (all-boys) and ...

Sports Meet 2022

 Finally, the day is here. We've been scheduling the sports meet for quite some meet. It had to be postponed due to unexpected rains and finally, it was conducted on Sep 12 and 13 soon after the Onam holidays. We had shotput, javelin throw, 50m, 100 m etc. The involvement and participation in the second years were a little low compared to the first years. Events like shot put, javelin throw, 50 m race etc had good participation. The selection of students for the finals of each event was done on the first day. The finals followed by prize distribution were done on the second day. I was supposed to run the100m race but had to pull out due to previous complications in my leg injury. But I got to participate in the march past which was totally unexpected. By the end of the day, we were dead tired from the scorching sun, but it was all worth it.

A Day to Bond

We had our first yoga class today. Sir demonstrated few yoga poses for beginners. It helped to revitalize our minds and body and get over the lethargic feeling. The next class was by Maya ma'am where we discussed the competencies required in a teacher. During the hour we had a surprise song-dance performance by Priyanka (English) and Roshna (social science).This was done to point out the importance of spontaneity in teachers. During our optional hour, the class discussed the qualities a Mathematics teacher must posses. But the highlight of the day was our Republic day cultural program. Each association put up a wonderful show. We, the math association did a short skit depicting the same old topic 'Unity in Diversity' but with a touch of our own. This activity was a great source of bonding, it helped in creating a sense of unity in class. The other associations put up vibrant performances. My favourite was the energetic rendition of folk songs by the social science departmen...
