BUILDING RESILIENCE: WORKSHOP ON STRESS MANAGEMENT- CAPACITY BUILDING WORK

-
 "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - C.S. Lewis

As part of our B.Ed curriculum, we had the privilege of attending a Capacity Building Programme on January 6, 2025. This semester's programme focused on a highly relevant topic: Stress Management. Our faculty of Psychology, Sinimol Miss, led the workshop, sharing her expertise and guiding us through a engaging and informative session.

The workshop began with an overview of stress, its causes, types, symptoms, and preventive measures. Sinimol Miss explained the concept of stress in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for us to understand. She also shared various examples and case studies to illustrate the impact of stress on our mental and physical well-being.

What made the workshop truly effective was the interactive and participatory approach. We practiced various stress-management techniques, such as laughing exercises, breathing exercises, and relaxation methods. These activities not only helped us understand the concepts better but also provided us with practical tools to manage stress in our daily lives.

As a participant, I found the workshop to be highly beneficial. I gained a deeper understanding of stress and its effects, and I learned valuable techniques to manage stress. The workshop was also a great opportunity to bond with my classmates and share our experiences.

Overall, the Capacity Building Programme on Stress Management was a resounding success. I am grateful to Sinimol Miss for sharing her expertise and to our institution for providing us with such valuable learning opportunities.

"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism." - Colin Powell I started my 40-day B.Ed teaching practice internship at Government Model Girls High School, Kollam, in Thevally. This first week was a blend of learning, challenges, and excitement as I navigated through teaching practices, interactions with students, and adapting to the school environment. Day 1 - 14/07/25 - Monday It was a mix of excitement and nerves as I took a 5E model class on "Atoms" for 8B students in Chemistry. I used simple analogies and experiments to convey the concept, and the pupils were highly interactive as I encouraged their participation. I felt a sense of accomplishment completing the lesson plan despite struggling a bit with using the whiteboard (not being used to it before). A bit disappointed I couldn't ask review questions at the end due to poor time management, but I did ask continuous questions throughout to reinforce the concept. We also participated in ...

“Examinations not only test knowledge, but also patience, responsibility, and teamwork.” The sixth week of my teaching practice, from 18th August to 22nd August 2025, marked a change of pace as the Onam examinations began at school. The vibrant classroom atmosphere was replaced by a quieter, more focused environment. Instead of regular teaching, our responsibilities shifted to assisting with examination duties, distributing question papers, and ensuring smooth conduct of exams. This week gave me a new perspective on the administrative and organizational side of school life, beyond teaching and learning . Day 25 - 18/08/2025 - Monday The first day of Onam examinations began with much anticipation. I was assigned examination duty in Room 8A. The day started early as we helped in preparing the room, ensuring seating arrangements, and distributing question papers and answer sheets. The atmosphere was calm but slightly tense as students appeared serious and focused. I carefully observed how...

“Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.” – Unknown. Week 9 of my teaching practice was a vibrant mix of classroom learning, innovative teaching strategies, school events, and hands-on experiences.
