My Internship Learning Experiences

A good teacher is like a candle- it consumes itself to the way for others. My internship gave me many opportunities to strengthen my skills and to grow out of my weakness. The first day I was bit nervous how the children will behave in my class. On the first day of my teaching I conducted puzzle activity before beginning the class the children participated well but the classroom was noisy and I could complete only the activity due to time constrains. To engage big number of student is difficult, latter I pondered and split into smaller groups to make them more critical in thinking and acting upon it. I learned to be flexible according to the situation. The teacher has to create interest in the student before teaching any subject.

Since it was second day I had last hour the students expressed teacher we are tired and I did warm activity like when I say sit they have to stand and when I say stand they have to sit and to make active my class. Doing this activity the students were motivated to learn. My class room management was good comparing the previous day experience, it made me feel good. I learned to take decisions according to the priority. Teaching is alone sharing but learning from the students as well. When I started to give personal attention they started to respond to me well. I listen to the student’s difficulty as well one boy behaved indifferent in the class and I took interest to know about him and his family background that made me help him better. The boy did not have mother so, he was very naughty, I called him free time and encouraged him to study and not misbehave in the class. Personal attention can change the behavior of the students.

I could explain well to the students because of my preparation and content knowledge. I could answer and clarify their doubt in my class. Whenever the students went wrong I could correct their pronunciation. The students made effort to read properly the lesson that I was teaching. As a whole for me it was good experience and motivated me positively to do best for the coming experience. According to me the best teacher is one who loves the children, caring, intellectual to infuse the knowledge in the young minds and one who brings out best in the students as well.
