Transformation Journey

                                     

 

 Hello Everybody My self Deepa .Kittur. I am happy to share my experience as a fellow teacher at Vidya Poshak. There was a desire to become a teacher due to the inspiration of  my sister. So I became Teacher. I  am very happy to share my feelings.

                   After the compilation of the My degree I used to take the tuition classes & after the suggestion of my Sir I applied for the Fellowship. The Yuva fellowship has 3 rounds. For the 1st round I applied for the post of Fellow Teacher then I was selected for the 2nd Round where I Wrote the two Essays, one English and the other one is Kannada . I uploaded the My teaching Video about 5 Minutes with the Lesson Plan and I went to the field where    I discussed different questions with the Stakeholders. I uploaded in the Google format. After the compilation of the 2nd round.  Later a call came from the Vidya Poshak they told me that I have been selected for the 3rd Round. That was my Happiest moment, my parents got happy later. Our interview was held through Virtual Mode Which was my first interview in my career. That was the happiest moment in my life and also I got emotional. With all my effort and Family Support  I got the job of Fellow Teacher at Vidya Poshak 

                  After the Joining of the Fellow teacher, we had the  one Training where different sessions were conducted by Vidya Poshak  to improve our Overall development. where Our Programme manager Mrs. Namita mam shared about Vidya Poshak , I got the information about the teacher-student relationship, ClassRoom Management , how to handle the stakeholders and they took the sessions on the child center topics. Many Resource persons took the sessions for us.. In the one month training I made the Cultural Plan for my students which included the goal of my class,Values, Visions. Starting off this Fellowship journey I was empty minded. Now I am confident in my work , I can manage the students well and every Saturday we have different sessions. We did the Firki Courses prescribed by the Teach For India. These Courses are very informative.

                       .

    I started my Fellowship Journey at  GHPS Nigadi School Dharwad,  I remembered my first day of my School , A huge School with the Green around the  School,  I was Scared about the School Strength and Co-Teachers.   When I went first time to Nigadi School, I really scared about the environment , my Programme manager gave the positive words ,I stayed their. Starting my Fellowship Journey I faced many Problems , handling the students , Bonding with the Teachers & also I got nervous when I entered the Classroom because  the students' strength was very huge. After a few days I became Close to my Co-Teachers & students. Starting of the School I went to the Home Visit to know about the students family Background where I Introduced myself, parents  understood about the Vidya Poshak.

                       When it was my First month of Fellowship in School,  I felt a little bit sad because my students' basic knowledge  was very poor. This is because of the corona effect some parents said due to the close of the school students performance was poor & I used to take the one on call with the students. It helps me to understand the students' mind properly this strategy helps me for students performance, then my Students became very active in my classes & they start enjoying the classes & they were  learning the subject with the different activities. When I was first year I learned how to maintain the time through Our Programme manager Time Management Session. Now I am learning how to differentiate the slow & fast learners through Firki Courses.   I became confident in the first year by taking the initiative in school. I really say my students became very active in my classes because, My class was filled with different activities. students start enjoying  the classes with the different colorful PPts  and  videos. Our Programme manager Mrs. Namita mam and Fellow Mentor Ms. Chandana they Used gave the Feedbacks for our Work . Namita Madam visited the School , they observed my Classes and my students' performance. Later they gave me valuable feedback . all the feedback and Areas of Improvements which  are very helpful for my  overall development .                           

    When I entered My second year of  Fellowship journey, Our Programme manager told us to prepare a Community Development Project, it was very scared moment for me because I never handled  any project , after Our Programme manager gave about the detailed explanation how to prepare the Project, Then I prepared the One Community Project to my School Which includes the Life Sessions, Navodaya Training , Basic Computer trainings for teachers & establishing the laboratory for the School. When I explained my project in front of My Head Master they were happy they supported my work throughout the year . along with the Science and  math  Classes ,I  Used to take the My Community Development project. Really I feel very proud of myself because this Project, Parents response was also good.

                  I really feel Second year went very fast because,In Second year we took the different projects related to the education also system .this year we took the Think Tac Experiments for the 5th,6th & 7th std students this experiments are very helpful for students,  to think beyond their imaginations & they used change the some variables in the experiments .  After the compilation of the experiments they show their experiment in front of  all the teachers & they explain about the experiment.  For the first time my 3 students were selected for the ‘ Raman award’  for Bangalore. This moment was very precious. My co-teachers appreciated me for this work and  also my parents were happy and their response was good.  

                    Along with the Think tac , Community Development project we conducted the Slam Out Loud Sessions for students. This project's main vision was Every individual will have a voice that empowers them to change lives. This project was   mainly about girl education and Gender equality. I used to take these sessions every Week, students listen and watch the girl story how they achieved their goal. From this session students' talent was shown through the art. 

  In the 2 years of my Fellowship Journey We conducted the Summer Camp for the students. We planned the Camp for the 8 days with the different activities. This camp includes different Themes. This camp was not only dependent on the activities but also about learning through playing .

   $ Few Happiest Moments in the Fellowship Journeys are -

# In the first  year our co-teachers did not appreciate my efforts and  now they all    appreciate my work & they gave positive feedback on my work.

#  My Community Development Project  was recognised and I got Positive response from School and community. This Project enhanced my Confidence.

# Vidya Poshak became my Backbone through out My Journey. 

    Throughout my Journey My Co-Fellows and Vidya Poshak Staff became my backbone in my tough situation. I faced many family Situations that time Vidya Poshak helped me alot. My Co-Fellows are very Humble and Friendly. Vidya Poshak Staff are very Supportive and Kind. I feel very Proud of my  Journey.  

                   Our Programme manager Mrs.Namita Hegade and Fellow Mentor  Ms.Chandana Sahukar Helped me alot to improve myself. They both were very Humble they used to Give the Positive feedback for my performance. They both are very Supportive. 

                  Yuva Fellowship is started in 2020.its  Vision:  envisage Excellent Education for all the children in Karnataka.  Is Now Working in the 8 Rural Schools Where our Fellow Teachers Teach Science , Mathematics and English through Activities.
