TEACHING PRACTICE PHASE - I
Weekly Reflection - 4
Day - 15 (04 AUGUST 2025)
The fifteenth day of teaching practice was marked by a balanced mix of planned lessons and unexpected duties due to the absence of several teachers. After reaching school at 9:30 a.m., I attended the school assembly and I had conducted my regular third-period ICT-based class on “Difference of Squares” for Class 8B, which enhanced student engagement and clarity of understanding. Peer observation by David C. Alex provided valuable feedback for improvement. Noon meal duties followed, along with a special serving of payasam as part of the revised government menu, adding a pleasant touch to the day. In the afternoon, I managed a substitution class for 8A before concluding with student dispersal duties, making it a productive and well-rounded school day.

The sixteenth day of teaching practice on 5th August 2025 was an active and fulfilling one, combining regular lessons with substitution duties due to the General PTA held at the school. In the third period, I continued with application-level problems on the difference of squares for Class 8B, encouraging students to apply the identity in varied contexts and observing strong participation. A substitution class during the sixth period was used for reinforcement activities, further consolidating learning. Noon meal duty was more demanding than usual as egg biryani was served under the revised government order, requiring extra coordination to serve all students efficiently. The day concluded with completing the remaining problems in the seventh period and fulfilling dispersal duties, making it a productive blend of teaching, management, and teamwork.

The seventeenth day of teaching practice on 6th August 2025 was highlighted by my first general observation by Mr. Arun Raj D, Assistant Professor from Baselios Mar Thoma II Training College. An unexpected power outage in the morning created uncertainty about using ICT, but I adapted quickly by converting the planned digital content into chart form to ensure the lesson could proceed smoothly. During the third period, I delivered the observed class with good student engagement and discipline, followed by constructive feedback from Arun Sir for future improvement. The rest of the day included noon meal duties, academic tasks, and student dispersal supervision. Despite the initial challenges, the day ended positively, reinforcing the importance of adaptability and preparedness in teaching.
Day - 18 (07 AUGUST 2025)
The eighteenth day of teaching practice on 7th August 2025 was marked by my first observation from my optional teacher, Ms. Sree Lakshmi, during the third period. I delivered an ICT-enabled lesson on Types of Polygons using a well-prepared PowerPoint presentation, which effectively enhanced student engagement and understanding. The feedback I received was constructive and encouraging. In the sixth period, I conducted another session using the Constructivist model on Regular Polygons, promoting active participation and deeper comprehension. Alongside teaching, I completed my noon meal duties, academic tasks, and student dispersal supervision. It was a productive day that combined effective technology integration, student-centered teaching, and valuable professional feedback.
