EDU - 402.1 - School Internship Phase II - Week 1 (12/06/24 - 15/06/24)

Week 1 (12/06/24 - 15/06/24)

                                            "Teaching is the greatest act of optimism."

                                                                                  - Colleen Wilcox


                                                


The second phase of our teaching practice started on 12-06-24. There were 4 working days. We reached on time. The entire school warmly welcomed us. I was allotted to teach Chemistry in 8A and Physics in 9A. Mary Ann teacher was my allotted teacher. We were 6 in numbers from Karmela Rani Training College for teaching practice. We started the day gracefully. On the first day I interacted with the students of 8A. During lunch time we served food to students.

On 13-06-24 I got substitution period in 8th and 9th. I started with the chapters - 'Properties of Matter'  (8A) and 'Refraction' (9A). 

On 14-06-24 our school had a special assembly. Awareness about Rabies was given by the health inspector during the assembly. A pledge was taken by the students against Rabies.

I showed live experiments in the class 8 to teach 'Matter' and 'Tiny particles'. The experiment where the paper didn't get wet when the glass which had the paper inverted in a glass full of water fascinated the students.

I taught 'Incident Ray and Refracted Ray' using ICT. By using PHET simulations it was easy to convey the concept and the students were really attentive.

'Practical activities of Refraction' lesson was really interesting for me to teach as well as for the students to learn. The experiments showing disappearance of coin, appearance of coin using glass and water stimulated the thinking of students.

I understood that direct experiences can have a huge impact in understanding a concept.

One of the best days of my life

One of the best days of my life One of the best days of my life....Yes I am saying about my Teaching Practice time at St. Joseph's H.S. Sakthikulangara. The phase II of our teaching practice started from 12th June 2024 and ended on 26th July 2024. All those days were unforgettable for me. We had to complete our lesson plans , manage classes from 5th standard to 10th standard, help the teachers in the works of school. But I really loved each moments. Even though it was hectic I carried out my work genuinely and passionately. I love teaching and teaching practice was a golden opportunity (even though it is a part of our curriculum) for me to teach. New ways of teaching were learned and carried out. I feel like it really changed my outlook of teaching. More than a profession it is actually a divine process. To start with, the school St Joseph's H.S. Sakthikulangara is a small school with lots of facilities. The staffs were really cordial with us. Headmistress Hermoine was friendly...

Week 7 (22/07/24 - 26/07/24) "It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom"                                                       - Michael Morpurgo There were 5 working days. I completed the chapter 'Equations of motion' in 9A and started 'Laws of motion' in 9A. I completed the chapter 'Basic constituents of matter' in 8A and started 'Chemical changes' in 8A. I used ICT to teach position time graph in 9A. It was very easy to teach graphs by showing pictures of graphs through ppt slides. Diagnostic test was administered on 24-07-24. Students lacked clarity in the concept of refraction and total internal reflection. They struggled to identify rarer and denser examples. Remedial teaching was provided to them on the next day using ICT. Through phet simulations concepts were taught. Our concerned teacher Mary Ann eva...
