Orientation on the system of CBSE, from the way classes, are taken to assessment criteria was given by the teacher in charge of first-year interns. An opportunity was provided to take classes for the students of grades 6 and 7 and to observe classes of 9th and 10th.
Strength: I was able to manage the class and have interactive sessions. As more classes were given to me, I felt my confidence increase and overcame my fear of messing up.
Opportunity: I got to observe English classes for students of grades 6 and 7. It taught me how enthusiastic the kids are and how easy it is to get carried away if not managed properly.
Weakness: I tend to use informal language and almost slip up during one of my classes. Still working on it.
Threats: Since all the classes were online, there were technical glitches, inaudibility, sharing the screen, etc.

I was assigned to teach class 8 students a poem. but I realised that some students couldn't read the lines properly and then I ask them to read the lines four to five times, that helped them a lot they showed interest in correcting themselves and repeating the new vocabularies. I showed them images so that they could understand the idea more clearly. These were the strength and weaknesses of my teaching. The challenge was that for my first class I couldn't complete the content within the time as I planned, as I spend more time helping and improving the reading abilities of students, as it was important in the learning process.

I didn't get to observe many things in the school as they were in between the lessons and mostly were watching videos for the text for more understanding. But one thing I could observe was that the students are different from different boards even though they are in same school and even same teachers teaching them

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths- It made me more confident and punctual. It made me aware of the responsibilities i would have to take in the future. The environment was very positive and uplifting. The students were very enthusiastic and that made me realize as to how i need to have that same energy while teaching too.

Opportunities- I got to observe many Language classes. It made me aware of the techniques that i can use in the future.

Weaknesses- I think i need to be more well versed with the content of senior classes. I need to improve the way i will be transacting the content in the classroom.

Obstacles- I felt it would be better if we got some opportunity to teach also. In addition to this, it would have been better if we could have got opportunity to observe and teach DP classes rather than PYP.

# data[].attributes.body
I got the opportunity to observe the class.
The teachers mainly focused on LSRW skills while conducting a grammar or literature class.
once a week the teachers conduct a demo meeting where they discuss and have demo teaching in order to make the students learning effective.
The teachers encouraged all the students to interact in the class and facilitated the students for answering. The teachers never showed partiality to the students.
weaknesses- The majority of the English classes I got to observe were grammar classes. This made me think that, If I had to teach, I need to focus on grammar contexts.
challenges- Online mode of observing (didn't get a chance to observe in a real classroom).

I got an opportunity to do my internship in St. Machael's School. it was a good experience.  I have taken the class for 8th and 9th grade students. They allotted me to teach English for 9th grade students. They were more interactive and were interested to do whatever homework I have given them. It made me to think, they are following me. It motivated me to contribute something better, in the field of teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
In our School I had an opportunities to take class to the 8th and 9th class Students in the online. It was a beautiful experience taking classes alternative days. Preparing the classes in advance with lot of hard work and zeal. I enjoyed even it was a challenging task but I did my best so the outcome of that from the Supervisors was also good. I too felt the happiness within me and I did my level best. Even I did many days Invigilation's and I entered the 10th class for the Observations. It was a very good experience in the School Campus with the Students. And even there were some challenges but it was good experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths:
We got to attend a lot of different classes like 6th, 7th, 11th and TOK as well.

Was able to observe PYP classes and also interact with the PYP Head and Coordinator. Gained an insight into how unit plans are made and saw students from Grades 3-5 in various transdisciplinary classes. Also, since this was on online mode, I was able to see teachers use various online tools like Jamboard and Seesaw to design creative formative assessments.

The school principal and teachers were very supportive and made the entire process very smooth for us. As part of my internship I got the opportunity to observe and take classes for 8th and 9th standards and also got to do exam invigilation of the 10th standard.
While taking classes the real task was to complete the content within the limited time alotted by the supervisor and also to get the students participate in the class was a challenge for me.
Observing the classes gave me an idea as to how the content has to be delivered and how interaction has to be done with students especially in an online platform.

Sweta / Dipannita

S - Was very patient in the class as the students talk a lot; was able to adapt quickly and adjust expectations regarding the internship being observation only;

W - No opportunity to teach, sometimes not able to comprehend what was done in the class

O - Got an opportunity to observe the class; to see the activities conducted; how the teachers engage the class and discipline the students; got to see how unit plans are done

C - No time to interact with the students; saw only one English class; PYP so was not able to see classes of Grade 6 and above

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths - I felt confident to take an online class. I was well prepared. Mostly, I could deliver the content as planned by me. I was able to encourage the students to participate actively in the class. I was able to call out their names and ask them to respond.

Weakness: Personally while taking the class, I had time constraints on the back of my mind, so sometimes I had to adjust according to the time.  Sometimes I missed some points which I had to say. In the first class of English I took the teaching aid but I forgot to show that. Then I used that in the next class.
In the classes which I observed I felt the teachers used mostly lecture-based methods. Inquiring-based teaching was hardly used on the online mode.

Opportunities: I got the opportunity to teach English as well as Social Science Elective. The Principal as well as the Teachers were very cooperative and supportive. They gave me the topic before hand so that I could prepare myself well. while observing the classes, I learnt how the teacher used differentiated teaching method in offline mode for Xth Std students. I also could learn from my peers. The Principal Sr. Arul Amudha and the supervising teacher gave their time to observe our classes and give us feed back. In the beginning of the class she introduced me to the class and at the end she appreciated me in front of the students that gave me lot to encouragement to do my best the next time.  I felt happy to get an opportunity to organize an event on National voters day. We were also part of different celebrations in the schools like Pongal, Republic day, Donor's day, etc.

Challenges: Time constraints. sometimes students were late in joining the class so we were asked to wait for them to join.
As the students were not aware of the digital platforms, I could not make use of the platform like Mentimeter or padlet, etc. Online mode was a challenge as I could not see the students whether they were able to understand or whether everyone was listening to me or not. Internet issue was another challenge as sometimes students were getting disconnected during the class.

As a whole, I had a very good experience during my Internship Phase I.

I got an opportunity to observe the English classes and I had a great time. The best part was that the students were provided with audios which they could download later in case they miss out their classes or for revision. The students were few in number and hence the class was not as engaging as I expected it to be. The teacher also made use of videos to encourage the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: I was able to improve my self confidence and plan and execute what I had to teach. Got to know where I have to improve myself.

Weakness: Due to lack of participation from students I was not able to execute what I planned. Time management was one of the weakness I had.

Opportunities: I got to teach 8th Std English class and it was a very good experience. Got to observe few classes also. I liked the way how sir taught by playing the video in the background and muting the audio and then explaining it in his own words.

Challenges: Shortage of time to complete a big chapter. Lack of communication between us and the teachers. only few students would attend the class so that was a challenge.

Overall the Internship experience was good and I'm looking forward to improve myself in the internship Phase 2.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: I was patient with the students and was also well prepared for the class

Weakness: I couldn’t interact much.

Opportunity: I could observe classes and also speak to the teacher a lot about the school and activities which were usually given to the students.

Challenges: There were very few students in class so I didn’t get any prompt responses and the class wasn’t as engaging as I expected it to be.

From that I understood before entering into the class we need a well preparation.

Strengths: During internship, One thing that I observed in myself was that I was able to connect with the students. Although there were less number of students due to online class and they were at first reluctant to interact but I made sure that students response to me and participate in the class. So, to which I think I succeeded in doing my part.

Sweta Khatri
At EISB I had a really great experience in terms of observation and interaction with PYP head, coordinator and teachers. We failed to get an opportunity to teach but those observation of classes were really fruitful. With regard to English in PYP there is no such subject as English as it is based on transdisciplinary theme. During my observation ,I experienced a class where a novel reading was done. During reading the teacher assured to include all aspects of English as vocabulary, figurative words, punctuations, verbs, syntax, identifying tense in the text etc. Regarding writing assignment, if students made any mistake in grammar or formation of sentences, the teacher assured to correct and asked them to resubmit it. On one of the transdisciplinary theme 'Where we are in time and place' students were given few images and based on those images they had to write a story or compose a poem and later they narrated and recited their story and poem respectively to the whole class. In every class there was 'reflection time' where a small class assignment was given to get reflection as 'facts I learned, questions I still have and An opinion 'on the class conducted. So, the school teachers were adopting all the methods and techniques in terms of building language competency and also inculcating problem solving skills among PYP students. During my interaction with PYP head, I got to know how the school works in terms of multiculturalism, differentiated learning , teaching methods and community work. They believe in keeping the strength of students less so that teachers can pay batter attention to students'. The PYP head gave us a piece of advice as 'Its not always necessary to answer all the questions asked by students' , give them time to think and let them find the answer'. It was an enriching experience at EISB.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I had a good experience. I was well-prepared content-wise and got to incorporate: listening, reading, and speaking skills except for writing skills since I did not get a chance. But got an opportunity to make classes interactive and creative and to observe one of the English class. Time management is something I should work on.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a very nice experience to teach English grammar and literature  for grade 7
Strengths:
1.well prepared with the content
2. I was very creative while planning for the class like for example: My PPT was very creative , I made colorful PPT which had colorful pictures ,GIF's and I used animation in PPT
3. I was able to engage interactive class with using inquiry based teaching strategy
Weakness:
1.I have to learn classroom management
2.I have to learn time management
Challenges:
1. Network issues
2.How to use Microsoft teams

# data[].attributes.body
Strength- I was able to make the class interactive by asking the questions to them and making them to read the poem. I used teaching aids like ppt and showed the pictures for the word meanings to make them understand better. And I was able to complete the class on time.

Opportunities-  I got opportunity to teach three English class for class 4 Students and I got opportunity to invigilate the exams and observed and conduct the oral test with subject teacher. I got only one English sir's class to observe.

Weakness- when i teach the class I have realised that I should work on the classroom management skill. As when I asked questions, all students started to give answer at the same time. I should have call out the names or tell them to raised their hand.

Threats/challenges- we took classes online and I had network issue. Sometimes my voices break inbetween the class. I also had teachnical problem too. I mean I don't why but my camera was not working properly on teams. I had switched on my camera and I can see my video on but the students and my teacher couldn't see me. So joined the class from both laptop and phone so that they could see me.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I had a good experience. I got the opportunity to teach the class, invigilate exam with teache and conduct oral test. I was also able to finish the chapter and the exercises on time.The challenge I faced technical issue. My laptop crashed and I couldn't use my ppt.

Strengths: I feel I have good communication and coordination skills. It is because I made an attempt to cooperate with my supervisor and DP Coordinator to do my internship properly. Also, being the leader of my colleagues at Christ Junior College IB, I am doing my best to communicate necessary activities and instructions to them effectively as well as ensure they are able to do their internship well.

Weaknesses: I admit that I had to have a realistic expectation of students' ability of and concentration towards learning from a class, for accordingly making effective lesson plans. I was able to become more realistic in the end, however.

Opportunities: I had the opportunity to learn about the course expectations of the IB Diploma Programme as I got the opportunity to access its related textbooks at the school's own library. Also, I got the opportunity to observe English classes taken by my supervisor and her co-teacher on historically pivotal works in literary history like 1984 as well as understand and appreciate the scholarly talent exhibited by the students of their classes.

Challenges or Threats: The greatest challenge was the inability to have face-to-face interactions with the students, where otherwise, it would have been possible to see their facial gestures and bodily gestures to understand how interested, focused, and engaged they were in the class. Also, I was not able to develop a rapport with them. These were due to the classes occurring only online after the Third Wave of COVID- 19 began to emerge during the course of the internship.

# data[].attributes.body
I had the opportunity to teach the 9 th standard class a prose, a poem and a grammar portion. On the first day I had to teach a story and my mentor asked me to finish it in one class itself. When I began the class I was very nervous but as I went on I became more comfortable. I gave only a surface level understanding of the story to the students because I was more focused on finishing it. And after that class my mentor asked me to explain the content more deeply. The next class I got the opportunity to teach a poem and I explained it more deeply with examples and it went well. On the next class I had to teach conjunctions and I got the opportunity to schedule a meeting myself and teach and I had a full fletched experience of teaching an online class. After covering the portions assigned to me I got the opportunity to observe my mentor's classes and got the idea of how to maintain online classes. Overall it was an enriching experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: My ability to communicate with the teacher and analyse the texts along with her students in class, enabled me to understand the teaching and learning process better at the IBDP level.

Weaknesses: I have to work on time management in my lesson plans and understand how much content can be covered during the class alongside making the class interesting for the learners.

Opportunities: I had the opportunity to observe the language and literature classes of the IBDP and the way in which teachers enabled their students to understand diction, style of writing, organization and analysis. The teacher had made me an active part of her classroom by asking me to analyse the texts with the students. This helped me take the place of both the learner and the observer, upon the ways in which the teacher creates a balance between instruction, teaching and activities.

Challenges: Understanding how to mark a written essay, on the four parameters followed by IB in the unseen literary passages. Through guidance by my supervisor, I was able to formulate an understanding of marking. This is an activity to understand how well a literary analysis is written, which helped me uncover the points that I would be able to bring into the classroom in the future.

Treamis gave me the  opportunity to observe Home Room Teacher classes 4th and 5th grade  of IB PYP. In the English hours I got to observe and learn how the teacher identifies and trains the students punctuation, articulation, pronunciations and voice modulation in the reading sessions. Through each topic the assignments and activities were directed towards improving their LSRW skills. I learnt how grammar topics are handled and also how the students were trained in informational writing such as report writing and biographical writing.

Strengths – Understanding the content, punctuality, patience, responsible and good interaction with teacher.

Weakness – Confidence to manage real school classes, Need to work on my LSRW skills and strategies to teach grammar.

Opportunity – Was able to understand how different strategies and methods of teaching are used in real classrooms. Able to observe sufficient English classes.

Challenges –  Lack of opportunity to teach. Got no chance to observe higher classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Weakness - I have to work on teaching the content by conducting different activities.

I had a good experience during my internship. There were advantages and disadvantages. The supervising teacher was approachable. He helped me learn and take class better. It was online and the interns had only one period to attend everyday. This was a drawback because we could not observe our peers class. We were limited to our class. My supervising teacher used lecture method to teach. He engaged the class through discussion. The lessons were fast paced because of their upcoming examinations. I had constraints while taking class. Overall, it was a good learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I got the opportunity to teach 9-grade students. First-class I observed how the teacher teaches the class. I observed the relationship between teacher and student is relatively important, interaction, open-ended questions. Students are active and smart. I got the chance to teach grammar I prepared content well. To check the student's knowledge and as well as my teaching my supervisor gave me a task to prepare a worksheet and do the evaluation part also. I prepared and assigned to the class. While evaluating the worksheet I can see the result that how much the students had understood the concept. Most of the students got above 12 out of 15 and I was really satisfied by seeing the marks. The first experience is always a new one and from this internship, I learned a lot and I need to improve more.

# data[].attributes.body
STRENGTHS: I got an opportunity to take class both online and offline. My language skills along with the thorough knowledge of subject was my strength.
WEAKNESS: Time management is one thing which I need to improve upon. During the offline class it was difficult to complete the content I prepared.
OPPORTUNITIES: We as interns got an opportunity to invigilate examinations of both 9th and 10th standard. It was a very good experience to understand how to act stern and vigilant during that time.
THREATS: The threat was lack of facilities available in the school which restricted students as well as teachers to emphasis on the content as personal development of students.

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunity: The school gave us an opportunity to take an offline class for class 10th,the English teacher gave me an opportunity to teach ,the grammer part( profile writing) and she also observed each thing we had to change ,the positive and the negative was also been provided and after the class she called us individually talked about what should be changed, she started with the positive point and the negative.
Challenges: lack of facilities provided for the teacher's as well as for the students
