Teaching practice - Week 4

Weekly Reflection-4

Learning from a New Perspective

                             This week was quite eventful. On Monday, a written competition was conducted, as a part of Arts festival and I was given the opportunity to supervise the students, which I truly enjoyed. My responsibilities included distributing papers and ensuring everything ran smoothly as I walked around the hall.
                          It was a delightful experience to be on the other side of the table, having spent many years as a participant under the supervision of teachers. This new role gave me a fresh perspective, and I appreciated the chance to see things from a different angle.

           
                      And through this week I became more friendly with the teachers as well as students and they that gave me more confidence and I started enjoying this phase of life. The learned that students coperation was more important though out my journey. Then the class hours become the most happiest that happened to me.

                   On August 6, the school celebrated Sports Day at the University stadium. It was a quite different experience for me. I was excited because, last year, I was a student participant in the same stadium. 

                     Today, I had the opportunity to assist the teachers in conducting the event.  I got goosebumps while arranging the students, preparing them for the event, and giving them instructions. I felt incredibly happy, and that moment was truly indescribable. During the event, I also got to interact with upper primary and high school students.
                
  I was also excited to have the opportunity to work with my peer members from the High School section. What added to my joy was when my students ran to me, beaming with pride, to show off their medals and share their thrilling experiences after their events. It was truly a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

Weekly Reflection - 1 Back to Where It All Began November 3, 2025 marked the beginning of the second phase of my teaching practice at Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Cotton Hill, Vazhutacaud, Thiruvananthapuram. Cotton Hill School was established in 1859 as a free girls' school in Thiruvananthapuram under Maharaja Sri Uthram Thirunal. It was later split into three schools in 1935 by C. P. Ramaswami Iyer, with one located at Cotton Hill, which was upgraded to a high school in 1935 and has since evolved into the Government Higher Secondary School for Girls, Cotton Hill. Today, it is one of the largest girls' schools in Asia, serving over 10,000 students.  I was overwhelmed with happiness as I began my teaching practice there because Cotton Hill is where my journey in commerce education began. From 2015 to 2017, I studied my Plus One and Plus Two there, and now, returning as a teacher to the same classrooms where I once sat as a student felt surreal. I was ...

  Weekly Reflection-2 Enhancing Teaching with Technology This week also went quite well. The teachers in the staffroom were more supportive and friendly. They gave me more information about the nature of classroom teaching and the school atmosphere. Jonny sir shared more informative knowledge about the subject, and Jasmin teacher gave me instructions on how to use the smart board.                  The use of smart boards made the teaching-learning environment more effective and facilitated better understanding for the students. An interactive session can be created using smart boards. The classroom facilities helped the children learn more, and this method helped teachers take classes more effectively.                     Smart boards were introduced in Model School, Thycaud, as part of the Model School 21st Century project, launched by alumni and school officials in 2016...
