CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMME- LIFE SKILLS

 LIFE SKILLS- CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMME

January 15, 2025

On January 15, 2025, our college’s general hall witnessed a Capacity Building Programme on Life Skills, organized in association with the IQAC and Counseling Cell. This program aimed to enhance participants’ skills and knowledge, equipping them with essential tools to excel in their respective fields. The event began at 9:30 am and was inaugurated by our honorable principal, Dr. G. Roy.

The program commenced with a warm welcome speech by Anupama. Anchoring duties were gracefully handled by Silla, and Bhavyasena delivered the felicitation, appreciating the relevance of such initiatives. The session was conducted by the esteemed Dr. Bindhu, who used an engaging PowerPoint presentation enriched with videos to make the session interactive and impactful.

Dr. Bindhu began the session by highlighting the differences between traditional and modern education systems. She introduced the three C’s of skill development: Capacity, Capability, and Competency. Moving forward, she explained life skills as defined by WHO and UNICEF and their significance in day-to-day life. She classified the five core skills and elaborated on their subdivisions, providing clarity and insight. An interesting activity followed, where participants were asked to list the skills and qualities of a teacher, friend, relative, politician, businessman, and social worker they personally knew. Some participants, including me, got the opportunity to share our thoughts, which made the session lively and engaging. This activity encouraged self-reflection and deeper understanding of essential traits in different roles.

The session also covered self-awareness extensively. Dr. Bindhu introduced methods like SWOT analysis and the Johari Window to help us understand ourselves better. She spoke about multiple intelligences, including empathy, sympathy, interpersonal skills, effective communication, and critical thinking. The session concluded with a focus on coping with emotions, emphasizing strategies to manage stress and enhance emotional resilience. Then we all dispersed for lunch break.

  TEACHING PRACTICE WEEK 4 : Monday (04/08/2025) to Friday (08/08/2025) REFLECTION ON SCHOOL EXPERIENCE 04/08/2025-Day 17 On the 17th day of my first phase of teaching practice, I reached the school by 9:00 am. After reporting to the office and signing the attendance register, I took up my assigned discipline duty in the High School section. Following the morning prayer, we settled in our allotted rooms. Since it was Monday, I did not have any subject hours scheduled. A little later, my concerned subject teacher, Renija Miss, entrusted me with the responsibility of completing the attendance register and the Noon Feeding attendance register for her class. This task was a new learning experience for me, as I wasn’t previously aware that a separate register existed specifically for noon feeding attendance. I successfully completed both registers. During the third period, I observed my peer teacher trainee’s class for 8th standard students. Overall, it was a good session. The teacher u...
