REFLECTION ON SCHOOL INTERNSHIP

         My 16 weeks of school internship was the most inspiring experience in my life. I was assigned to K.P.M.V.H.S.S, poothotta, for my teaching practice. I learned alot as a teacher and realized my strength and my weakness. I had taken Chemistry for 8th and 9th standard during my teaching practice.

          
        I was little bit worried about my first few classes, but as i  got to know the students better, i could easily implement many activity based methods and thus the problem vanished. Also, my confidence has increased considerably. The activities that i carried out include experiments, ICT based presentations, quiz programs etc., related to the topic.

          Another task was the classroom management. At first, i couldn't control the class while doing activities, even though i was able to handle while teaching in a lecture cum demonstration method.But with help of value based classes and discussions as a part of B.Ed curriculum and else, helped me to make the students disciplined and obedient.

         The overall experience that I got from the school is worthwhile and are beyond my words.Throughout my teaching practice i was happy to maintain good relation with my fellow teachers. Working as a part of highly structured and organised school system gave me new insights about the planning and execution of classes, importance of activity based learning, capabilities of students in various fields, need of support and motivation in student's life and many more. The family background and the atmosphere of student  will be different. Also there are special students with learning and physical disabilities and gifted students in a same class.It is a big task for a teacher to implement inclusive education.

         I learned many things and realized that a teacher should primarily be a student and enthusiastic in learning and implementing new things and innovative methods of teaching. The comments of students and other critics will pave as a stepping stones of success in the long journey of teaching-learning process.
