  School Induction Programme  The School Induction Programme is an essential component of the B.Ed. curriculum that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical teaching experience. It provides student-teachers with an opportunity to observe real classroom situations, understand school functioning, and familiarize themselves with teaching methodologies, classroom management, and the roles and responsibilities of teachers. Through direct interaction with teachers, non-teaching staff, and students, the programme helps aspiring teachers develop professional skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the school environment.

 Micro teaching is a teacher training technique that provides student-teachers with an opportunity to practice and refine their teaching skills in a controlled environment. It focuses on developing specific teaching competencies such as introducing a lesson, questioning, reinforcement, and classroom management. Through micro teaching, we learn to plan, present, and evaluate short lessons effectively while receiving constructive feedback from peers and supervisors. This process helps build confidence, improve communication, and enhance overall teaching performance before entering a real classroom setting. As part of my micro-teaching session, I practiced the skill of closure on 11 November 2024, based on the chapter “Rosa Parks Sat Still.” The focus of the session was to effectively summarize the key points of the lesson and reinforce students’ understanding of Rosa Parks’ courage and determination. Through this activity, I learned how to end a lesson meaningfully by connecting the ...
