Teaching practice phase 1 [Day1 to Day5]

Teaching Practice Phase I – Week 1 (Day 1 to Day 5) (13 July – 17 July 2026) The first week of my teaching practice was a memorable and enriching experience that marked the beginning of my journey as a student teacher. During these five days, I became familiar with the school environment, interacted with students, and gradually gained confidence in handling classrooms. On the first day, I was introduced to the school, received the timetable, and had the opportunity to interact with students of Classes VIII and IX. These initial interactions helped me build a positive rapport with the students and understand their learning needs. Throughout the week, I taught various topics in Physical Science, including Motion and Force for Class VIII and Refraction of Light for Class IX. The lessons covered concepts such as reference object, distance, motion, refraction through a glass slab, and refraction through a glass prism. I also provided notes, discussed important questions for the mid-term examination, and encouraged students to participate actively during the lessons. In addition to classroom teaching, I was entrusted with examination duties during the school's mid-term examinations. This experience gave me valuable insights into the responsibilities of a teacher beyond teaching, such as maintaining discipline, supervising examinations, and understanding the day-to-day functioning of the school. It also made me realize the importance of careful lesson planning, effective interaction with students, and continuous self-reflection. Every classroom experience taught me something new and motivated me to become a better teacher. I look forward to learning more and improving my teaching skills throughout the remaining days of my teaching practice.
