A frank talk by the principal Divya Ma'am

-
In 12th commerce, we had a lesson on ‘An interview’. After explaining it,today we kept an activity of framing the questions for the principal. It was done the group wise. The whole class took 15 minutes for framing the questions. Each group prepared different questions from other classmates. In the beginning they were very thoughtful and inspired for that activity. Further they fixed who would ask the principal and what question to be asked.
          As soon as they finished it , the principal ma’am was called. Divya ma’am entered the class and the whole class stood up to greet her. The students were excited to ask her and listen her quietly. Afterward each group started asking question on career, experience , failure ,and goal. She became very pensive while replying to each group. Simultaneously she shared that each student’s success would be her goal and always thought of their careers, in what way they could become successful. Whenever any student failed was actually her failure expressed by her. At that she narrated her story as teacher and became emotional. All were in full attention and emotional attached with her. They went ahead in promising her that they would try to secure the admission at IIT or reputed institute of the nation.
                     After that, former head boy , Shankar, extended the vote of thanks to her and emotionally she left the class. The class took that activity as emotional learning.They were happy and positive that could be seen on their faces. It was worth done. As it seemed to me that it was  a way to make the students listen others attentively as well as emotionally

There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learning a language. S
