One and a half month into the course, The Two-day B.Ed Programme Orientation was held on 27 and 28 of November since admission procedure wasn't completed. The inaugural session was chaired by Dr. V.K. Santhosh Kumar. The most enlightening and inspiring talk was obviously delivered by Dr. Jayaprakash R.K, Director, SCERT Kerala. Despite his busy schedule, he found time to interact with a bunch of student teachers and left chunks of thoughts for us to reflect on.
''The students you're going to meet at the schools, they don't need you to tell them that New Delhi is the capital of India. That information is just a click away for them'', he said. This was indeed a shocking revelation and I pondered upon the very same statement for hours. He talked about the competencies of a teacher that today demands who, in his words, should have perspectives and fearlessness amidst a period full of fear and chaos.
Dr. Joly. S and Sri. Rahul V.R expressed felicitations. Welcome speech was delivered by Dr. Jayakrishna.K, Academic Co ordinator and Miss. Chinju S Nair delivered the vote of thanks.
The orientation programme consisted of 10 sessions led by 10 different teachers of our college which were meant to contribute towards grooming or moulding us to be 'good teachers'. The sessions, 1 hour or 45 minutes long, were informative and engaging and discussed about diverse areas such as technological competencies, pedagogical perspectives, social commitment, psychological underpinnings etc. of this profession. The sessions enabled us to prepare ourselves for the coming years intellectually and emotionally, and left a lasting impact.
