CULTIVATING LIFE SKILLS: A WORKSHOP ON EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

-
"The art of communication is the language of leadership." - James Humes
As part of our B.Ed curriculum, we had the privilege of attending a Capacity Building Programme on June 5,2025. This semester's programme focused on Life Skill Development, with a specific emphasis on communicative and interpersonal relationships. Our faculty of Philosophy, Kochu Thresia Miss, led the workshop, sharing her expertise and guiding us through a engaging and interactive session.

The workshop was designed to equip us with the essential life skills required to navigate complex social situations and build strong, meaningful relationships. Kochu Thresia Miss facilitated discussions, thoughtful and entertaining activities that helped us understand the importance of effective communication, active listening, and empathy in interpersonal relationships.

Throughout the workshop, I found myself reflecting on my own communication style and interpersonal relationships. The activities and discussions helped me identify areas for improvement and provided me with practical strategies to enhance my communication skills.

One of the most valuable takeaways from the workshop was the importance of self-awareness and self-reflection in building strong relationships. Kochu Thresia Miss emphasized that effective communication begins with understanding ourselves and being aware of our own emotions, values, and biases.

Overall, the Capacity Building Programme on Life Skill Development was a resounding success. I am grateful to Kochu Thresia 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 ...

Week 6 of my teaching practice - AN EXAMINATION WEEK (18/08/2025 TO 22/08/2025)

“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. From the exciting Sasthramela and interactive diagnostic tests to delivering the last lesson plans in Physics and Chemistry, every day brought new challenges and learning opportunities.
