SCHOOL INDUCTION ORIENTATION

-

The first year B.Ed student teachers of GCTE have been posed with the maiden task of fulfilling the role of a teacher by visiting a school for the induction programme for a week on the month of January 2023. Orientation for the same have been provided by our teachers on December 21st at the Research Room of the college.

Discussions in the classroom shape a country's future and the teaching community is expected to play a crucial part in ensuring that education is of a high standard, hence appropriate teaching training should be encouraged. Thus, all nations around the world have placed a strong focus on teacher education. Prior until now, the focus of teacher training programmes was on honing subject matter expertise and teaching abilities in a particular subject. However, with the advancement of science and technology as well as the ever widening globalisation, educational processes have changed drastically over the globe to match the demands of the modern era. Teacher education has to function as a professional learning under a global canvas.This requires an education system that adopts a comprehensive approach to developing the full potential of individuals.

The initiatory school experience aims at providing the student-teacher an opportunity to have primary experiences with the functioning of the school. The school induction programme is meant for a period of five continuous working days. The student teachers will have to acquaint themselves with the environment and day-to- day functioning of the schools they have selected. Observation of lessons of senior teachers individually or in small groups , meeting the students informally to learn their background and interest in learning, to see the learning facilities in the school, observing the social climate in the school, etc are some of the activities to be undertaken during this period. Each student-teacher has to engage three lessons individually or as shared practice. In Shared Practice, student-teachers will be in small groups of two or three members. The lessons will be divided into parts and each student teacher will practice one of the parts by rotation in the natural classroom situation. Lesson plans may or may not be prepared for the same. The student-teachers have to maintain a detailed diary or reflective journal as record of the visit. After the initiatory school experiences, a reflection session will be organised in the college. 

Since it was decided that school induction programme shall be held from 3rd January 2023 to 7th January 2023 , an orientation programme was conducted on 21 December 2022. Dr.Isaac Paul, Dr. Joly, Dr.Jayakrishna, Ms. Sheena Elizabeth, Ms.Chitralekha, Ms. Asha, Dr.Praveena M, Ms. Shiba and Mr.Jithin Prem gave us general instructions and necessary encouragement for the induction programme. Ms. Shiba was the coordinator of the programme and Ms. Parvathy was the student coordinator.
