School Induction Programme : Day 1 - January 4, 2023.

      School Induction Programme : Day 1


As per the curriculum of the B.Ed course, the student teachers are supposed to attend a five day induction programme in any one of the schools in the proximity of one's college. Today, 4th January, was the first day of our school induction. The student teachers of Government College of Teacher Education, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram, were given choices of schools from which everyone had to select one. As per the selections made, the students were alloted to each school and memo was sent to the respective Head Masters to accomodate us. 


Eight of us (Four students from English department, two from the department of Tamil, and two from Natural Science department) from GCTE chose Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Karamana, for our induction programme. We reached the school by 9 am and the classes began by 9.30 am. There were no proper assembly as such. As soon as the morning bell rang, a group of students sang the prayer song, and then one of them uttered the pledge which all the others repeated. Then the classes began.

As soon as we reached the school, we met the Principal, Mr. Venugopalan M G. Then we walked in to the room of the Headmistress, Mrs.Mini P V. She welcomed us to the school, interacted with us and also led us to the staff room. There, we met and spoke to our respective subject teachers. We discussed with them and seeked permission to observe their classes. Since two student trainees from another college were handling classes for 8th and 9th classes, we spoke with them and decided on the portions that we are to cover within the five days of the induction programme. Two class observations and three shared classes are mandatory as per the curriculum.


We spent the rest of the time examining and familiarising the school and its surroundings. We saw the classrooms, walked through the corridors and school ground, assessed the facilities, and gained an overall idea of the school. The environment was comparatively calm and relaxed. The required details of the school were noted down. The first day of the school induction programme was a memorable day indeed for the student teachers of GCTE.

The club had the plan to show the Disney animated movie Encanto as well; however the technical difficulties did not make this happen. AASAI Aasai takes us to a time when cell phones were a luxury and speaking to somebody over it would cost us a lot. The film revolves around the story of Selvam, a small boy who works in a grocery store. He lives far away fr...
