My teaching experience during the internship

I got a chance for teaching in St. Francis School, Hebbagodi at Bangalore as part of my Internship of B.Ed course at Christ University. The SFS School is following state board syllabus. The internship is run for fifteen days. It was a remarkable experience in my life. I was happy because I like so much in teaching. We are four went that for this internship. I was little nervous in first two days because that was my teaching experience.

The first day, met the school principal, he welcomed us to the SFS family. Then we got co-coordinator, her name is Sapana, she gave some instructions. Students had the internal exam, so we went for the invigilation duty. I did my job as per the instruction. From this, I could learn how to manage the class and how to supervise. Until seven days there had exams, so we went for the same duty. At the free time, we were preparing teaching aids, lesson plan for the next week’s class.

We got our respected supervisors according to our subject. My supervisor gave proper instructions on how to teach and how to manage the class. Next Monday first hour I went the seventh standard for teaching with teaching aid, my peers came with me for observing my class. Of course, I was incredibly nervous on my first day of teaching. I introduced myself I taught Physics chapter “Light- Mirrors, and Lenses”. Students were very responsive and enthusiastic. So I could easily teach my topic. I clarified the student’s doubts. My supervisor and my peers rectify my mistake. After that, I observed my friend’s teaching. Then I gave the feedback and also I got some other ideas about the way of teaching.Nonetheless, my first day in the classroom went better than I expected. The same thing is continued for the whole week.

Next week we got substitution classes in primary section. I struggled to handle the small kids. After two classes I learned how to manage small children. I conducted small games for entertainment. We helped with annual day functions. I can’t forget these memorable moments. Principal invited us to that function. We arranged a tea party for the teachers. We said our gratitude to the teachers especially to the coordinator for the wonderful support and guidance.

My first teaching experience taught me a lot about what it means to be a teacher and a lot of myself, as a future educator. For example, I always knew that coming up with lesson plans was not easy, so I’m glad that I was able to have this experience to prepare me for it in the future. I also learned that I do not have a good sense of time when I am teaching, so I now know to make sure to make a schedule of what will be done at what time.

I learned a lot about teaching after this internship. In my view, teaching is like a performing art.
