SECOND PHASE OF SCHOOL INTERSHIP

SECOND PHASE OF SCHOOL INTERSHIP 

In a B.Ed curriculum's Fourth Semester, the School Internship is a crucial, extended practical phase (around 6-7 weeks) where student-teachers apply theory by delivering lessons, co-teaching, observing mentors, managing classrooms, participating in school life, and maintaining reflective journals, focusing on developing core teaching skills, professional attitudes, and classroom management under supervision to transition from theory to real-world teaching. 

The total number of lessons required to be completed during Internship in Phase I is 40 and Phase II, 30.

School Internship is a part of the curricular area of ‘Engagement with the Field’ designed to lead to the

development of a broad repertoire of perspectives, professional capacities, teacher sensibilities and skills among the

prospective teachers. The task during this period include:

*Practicing the process of preparation of material, teaching, assessment and evaluation.

*participating in all the academic activities of the school under direct supervision, 

* learn to set realistic goals in terms of learning, curricular content and pedagogic practices, 

 *choose, design, organize and conduct meaningful classroom activities, 

*participate in school, social and community activities in the locality associated with the school, 

* observation of and association with children in multi socio-cultural environments to understand their problems and to

suggest possible remedies, 

* develop, locate, collect and maintain teaching-learning resources.

Internship in Teaching/School Internship is for a period of 20 weeks divided into two Phases of 12 and 8 weeks, to be

organized during the Third and Fourth Semesters of the Course. For school internship, the Colleges of Teacher Education and

the participating Schools shall set up a mutually agreed mechanism for organizing, monitoring, supervising, tracking of

internship and assessing the student - teachers. Make arrangement with at least five practicing schools for the internship as

well as other school-based activities of the course. These schools shall form basic contact point for all other practicum

activities and related practical work during the course of the program. During the internship, a student-teacher shall work as a

regular teacher and participate in all the school activities, including planning, teaching and assessment, interacting with

school teachers, community members and children.

The school internship program has been arranged in phases to install effectiveness in the program. School induction program,

Phase I & II of School internship have to be organized in close supervision of the colleges with effective co-operation from

practicing schools. After the completion of each program colleges should arrange reflection sessions in the college so that the

trainee can benefit by sharing experiences and can plan and modify/regulate his/her teaching and associated activities in the

next spell/phase in the school more effectively. Planned progressive development of the behaviour of the student-teacher

phase after phase is the major purpose of arranging teaching practice in various progressive phases/stages/spells.
