"The day I got the opportunity to be a teacher!"

 

Hey guys, welcome to another blog! Today in the blog, I want to share my experience of getting an opportunity for becoming a teacher and not just this but also in front of a camera that was recording the whole session! Let’s start the blog…

But before starting I would want you all to know that I was in a "TEACH FOR INDIA" classroom it is an organization from which teachers came and taught us and apart from studies we did a lot of activities and we used to enjoy in the class with studies. We were in the Tenth class when our class performed well among all the Teach for India Classrooms in Delhi, and hence we got the chance to get recorded to share our life in a day!

                It was the end of the class tenth, when our teacher called me and one of my friends "VIVEK", to tell us that you will have to be the teacher tomorrow; and after listening to this I was shocked that I will have to teach tomorrow, and I don't have any idea "how to teach!" But then Vivek and our teacher encouraged me and then in the night we prepared our lessons, we had to plan on subject “Social Science”. It was morning and I was checking all of my notes and then I went to school. The first thing I saw in the class was the camera which made me nervous, then mics were given to us and it was all set. Cameras were on, the mics were on, and we started the class. We started the class by doing meditation and while the whole class was meditating we were preparing the blackboard. We started the lesson and everything went well, there were instances where I did some mistakes but then my classmates helped me. It was a session with discussion, teamwork, questions, and answers. In the end, we did the feedback session and that was how ended the class. I will share the YouTube link below so you can see how the class was and don't forget to give your valuable feedback.

                After the class, we did a reflection session about how we felt and how was the class! I would also want to share some of my experiences with you all; at the first, I was afraid about teaching and doing mistakes but the class was very cooperative and helpful, everyone helped a lot, and there was a time when I forgot the spelling of "neighborhood", but then Vivek helped me at that time and at that time I realized that we shouldn't be afraid of mistakes but learn from them. I was also afraid of the camera but when the time passed, the fear went away! The feedback session was also good because we got to know about our qualities were good at and the qualities we have to work upon. I think it was a good experience and everything went well. I am thankful to my teacher who thought I would be able to do it and also to my classmates who helped a lot!

                At last, I would want to tell you that being a teacher isn't easy. After all, you have to plan lessons, get ready for the questions and the answers which you will have to give, maintain the class from start to end because the excitement level decreases if the topic is boring, and much more.

I will share the link to the video, you can go and watch the video, and don't forget to give your feedback.
