Teaching Practice Phase 1 Weekly Report -9

Week 9 (15-01-23 to 19-01-23)

This week marked the conclusion of the teaching practice phase 1, and it was filled with a myriad of enriching activities.

Upon returning from a brief leave, I jumped back into the school routine and was greeted by the invigorating morning assembly, which set a positive tone for the day. One of the significant events of this week was the conscientization program on population explosion that I had the privilege to conduct. It was an enlightening experience to engage with the students on such a crucial societal issue and foster critical thinking.

In line with promoting values, I organized a value education activity where the students participated in cleaning their classrooms, emphasizing the value of responsibility. This practical approach to instilling values was met with enthusiasm and served as a powerful lesson for the students.

Furthermore, I conducted two invigorating physical education classes, introducing the students to trilokasana and virabhadhrasana. Witnessing their enthusiasm and dedication to learning these yoga poses was truly gratifying.

As I bid farewell to this phase of my teaching practice, I took the opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to every teacher and student for their unwavering cooperation, love, and support. Their encouragement has been instrumental in shaping my journey as an aspiring educator.

The conclusion of phase 1 marks a pivotal milestone in my training, and I am eager to embark on the next phase with renewed zeal and determination. Thank you for accompanying me on this transformative journey, and I look forward to sharing more updates as I continue to evolve as an educator.

Teaching Practice Phase 1 Weekly Report - 8

Week 8 (08-01-24 to 12-01-23)

 After a rejuvenating vacation, I reconnected with the school community and embarked on a week filled with diverse activities.

Following the vacation, I re-entered the school environment with renewed energy and enthusiasm. It was heartening to witness the students' excitement and eagerness to resume their academic pursuits.

During this week, I took a brief leave to attend to personal commitments. However, I also had the opportunity to conduct an achievement test for Class 9D, which provided valuable insights into their academic progress and helped me tailor my teaching strategies to better meet their needs.

A significant event during this week was the visit of a faculty member from our college for a school observation. This visit not only allowed me to receive constructive feedback on my teaching methods but also provided an opportunity for collaborative discussions on effective pedagogical approaches.

Additionally, the week included a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting, where I had the chance to engage with parents and discuss their children's progress and well-being. The meeting was an enriching platform for open communication and collaboration between educators and parents.
