The IRS Teachers Academy (ITA)- II Batch

I got a golden chance to join ITA in the month of June, 2008. I wanted to become a teacher but never knew how. I got it from this six-month training program. I learnt about effective teaching, the role of a teacher and good student teacher relationship. The Art of Living course offered at the training equipped me with the tips to lead a happy life. I became confident, creative and innovative. 

 I was like mud when I joined ITA. I would like to describe ITA as a potter's wheel and our trainer is the potter. Our faculty members, the water. Using this water our trainer has molded us into beautiful pots which help to quench the thirst of the many children who are waiting for us in IRSs.

Learn from others

By this peer learning classes we have got so many ideas and different new concepts. We have increased our confidence levels. We learnt classroom management and the ways to attract the students towards the topic. How to integrate two different subjects and teach is the other interesting topic we discussed in the training program.

The Teacher Training Academy (ITA) III Batch, 10 December, 2008 to 18 May, 2009

ITA, it was like a school, where we learned, grew teaching methods, subject knowledge and also developed our confidence. More than that, the good, happy and stress free environment provided was very good. To guide us there were knowledgeable faculty members. It was also like a second home for me, where I spent my time happily helping each other. I pay my gratitude to our Bindu madam and to the management for giving me this wonderful opportunity.
