INTERNSHIP PHASE 1  WEEK 10 WEEKLY REFLECTION 22/9/2025 to 25/9/2025 Monday to Thursday   This week of my internship was centred entirely on classroom learning and teaching responsibilities. Every day offered new experiences that helped me understand the practical aspects of teaching more clearly. I spent a significant part of the week observing classes handled by different teachers. These observations allowed me to learn how teachers introduce new concepts, use the blackboard effectively, maintain students’ attention, and handle unexpected situations. I was able to see how teaching methods change depending on the topic and the age group of students. I also handled several substitution periods throughout the week. During these sessions, I assisted students with their classwork, clarified their doubts, and ensured that the class remained disciplined. Managing these classes independently helped me develop confidence and taught me the importance of giving clear instructions and s...

INTERNSHIP PHASE 1 WEEK 9   WEEKLY REFLECTION 15/9/2025 to 17/9/2025 Monday to Wednesday   This week of my internship was completely focused on classroom activities, teaching practice, and student interaction.

INTERNSHIP PHASE 1 WEEK 8 WEEKLY REFLECTION 8/9/2025 to 12/9/2025 Monday to Friday   This week of my internship was entirely focused on classroom activities, teaching practice, and understanding student behaviour more closely.

Throughout the week, I observed several classes handled by different teachers. These observations helped me understand various teaching methods, presentation styles, and ways to maintain discipline in the classroom. I noted how teachers used questioning techniques, examples, and short activities to keep students engaged. These insights helped me reflect on my own teaching and identify areas where I could improve. I also received multiple substitution periods, which gave me practical experience in handling the class independently. During these sessions, I guided students with their classwork, clarified their doubts, and ensured th...
