Tales from Teaching Practice week 1

Embracing Challenges and Growth

Embarking on the journey of teaching practice at VPS Malankara HSS Venganoor has been an enriching experience filled with challenges and moments of growth. As I stepped into Class 9 C, each day unfolded a new chapter in my exploration of pedagogy and classroom dynamics.




Day 1: Navigating the Unfamiliar Territory:
The initial day brought a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Assigned to Class 9 C, the first period was spent substituting in a Class 8 room amidst ongoing exams. The challenge of invigilating exams and impromptu chemistry lessons during the interval laid the groundwork for adaptability and quick thinking.

Day 2: Polynomials and Problem-Solving:
The second day delved into the intriguing world of polynomials. Implementing the Concept Attainment Model posed challenges, but through positive and negative exemplars, students grasped the essence of polynomials. Post-lunch, engaging in lesson plan writing sessions and aiding preparations added depth to the overall teaching experience.

Day 3: Refinement and Resilience:
The third day marked a positive shift in class dynamics. Conducting a problem-solving session on polynomials showcased students' increasing engagement and understanding. The day wasn't without its challenges, including managing a large group during the noon meal, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and teamwork.

Day 4 : Finding Balance

The fourth day of my teaching practice brought with it a profound sense of balancing the intricacies of lesson planning, student engagement, and my evolving role as an educator.

Day 5: Nurturing Growth Amidst Responsibilities

The day began with the familiar routine of prayers and attendance. Assigned Class 9 C during the 6th period, earlier hours were spent as a substitute in Class 8 D. After serving noon meals, the focus shifted to checking and correcting student notebooks. Line duty and a prompt departure at 3:30 PM concluded the day.

 Day 26 of My Teaching Practice 18.07.2024                                                                           Thursday Today, I arrived at school at 8:45 a.m. My allotted period was the second period in class 9G, where I conducted a problem-solving session on "Product of a Sum and Difference." The students remembered the identity but needed help translating word problems into equations. Once set up, they successfully applied the identity to solve the problems. The discussion on the second problem extended into the next period, so I continued in class 9G during the fourth period, addressing doubts and clarifying previous questions. I assisted with serving the noon meal and had substitution duty in class 9F during the sixth period. After the bell and national anthem at 3:15 p.m., I performe...

I arrived at school by 8:45 a.m. and started with substitution duty in class 10B during the first period. For my allotted periods, which were the third and sixth, my mentor teacher was on leave, so I took over both periods. During these sessions, I revised the chapter new numbers and provided the students with extra questions. It was gratifying to see them tackle these questions independently, applying their understanding of the material.  A...

I arrived at school by 8:45 a.m., ready for my allotted period during the second period. During this period, our principal cum my concern teacher, Preetha Ma'am, came to observe my class. I conducted a problem-solving session on systems of equations, focusing on two key problems: one based on capacity and the other on age. The students found it challenging to understand and translate the problems into equations, so I broke down each problem into smaller parts and explained every step. Despite their in...
