CONSCIENTIZATION PROGRAMME

-

As part of World Mental Health Day, a conscientization programme was successfully conducted on October 10, 2025, by the teacher trainees of Fatima Memorial Training College, Mylapore—Riza Saijo, Aishwarya S L, and Aleena Johnson. The programme was organized for the students of Class X H with the aim of creating awareness about the importance of mental health and emotional well-being.

The session focused on helping students understand what mental health is and why it is just as important as physical health. Through interactive discussions and simple examples, students were made aware of common mental health challenges faced by adolescents, such as stress, anxiety, exam pressure, and emotional struggles. Emphasis was also given to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraging students to speak openly about their feelings.

Practical tips for maintaining good mental health, including positive thinking, healthy routines, seeking help, and supporting peers, were shared during the session. The students actively participated and showed keen interest, making the programme meaningful and impactful.

The conscientization programme served as a valuable step towards nurturing emotionally healthy individuals and promoting a supportive school environment where mental well-being is prioritized.

Date: July 14 – July 17, 2025 “Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.” The first week of my teaching practice was a journey of discovery, challenges, and small victories. As part of the B.Ed. curriculum, I, along with my friends Aleena and Aiswarya from the English Department of Fathima Memorial Training College, Mylapore, began our internship at Government HSS Anchalummood on July 14, 2025.

This week, we actively participated in various duties including substitution classes, classroom management, lunch serving, and even took on the role of judges for an extempore competition. One of the highlights of my teaching this week was taking Class 8F for the poem “The Seven Ages of Man” by William Shakespeare.

The past week of my teaching practice (Days 21–25) was both engaging and rewarding. On Day 21, after the Onam vacation, I taught Articles through the Concept Attainment Model, where students actively discovered rules through examples and non-examples. The following days (22–25) were dedicated to the inspiring chapter The Day My World Changed by Malala Yousafzai, taught using ICT. Each day, I carried the chapter forward step by step, making use of PowerPoint slides, visuals, and activity cards to bring Malala’s story to life. Students were highly motivated, sharing their thoughts on education and courage, which made the lessons more meaningful. I also had varied experiences beyond the classroom, like serving the midday meal, handling substitution hours, and managing double-period sessions. These days taught me the importance of pacing, balancing ICT with interaction, and sustaining student interest. Overall, this phase deepened my confidence as a teacher-in-training.
