Academy of Teaching Excellence

From Meera Suresh's Desk

  • A few ATE candidates have been volunteering for Tiffin Times and have shared their happiness.
  • "Kishore : When I volunteered I did not think that it would be so challenging. It was really pleasant working with the children, training them, supporting them and also interacting with the general public. I really enjoyed telling them what all our children can do if trained properly and guided. I am really enjoying the work, both as a volunteer at the sports day event for VTU, volunteering as well as doing my OJT at Sreyas and now with Tiffin Times. Varied and vast experience I am gaining from this."
  • "Lavanya : The work was great and interesting with a view to motivating the children to work smoothly and as a team. I realised what sincere training could do to special children."
  • "Anwar Basha: Good experience watching the trainers interacting with the children. Since I also have a special child it was very helpful for me to observe and learn how the trainers are coping with the children patiently. A good innovation. Would love to contribute more time but I am taking care of the child now, since my wife is working."
  • "Mahalakshmi : It was indeed a pleasant surprise to see the children doing so well with the public. The way they were informing the menu, handing over the packets and helping them in paying the cash was very exciting. I learnt how to be patient and motivate the children in doing the job. Nothing is impossible with the right training was a lesson I learnt from my experience."

Batch-4 of ATE classes for P.G Diploma in Multiple Disabilities, Inclusive Education and Soft Skill classes are going on. First internal tests were conducted. Guidelines for on-job training have been shared with students. Topics like IEP, Attitude and Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences were addressed. Plans to start Sign Language classes are on the cards.

Anand and Meera visited ASR Caterers to personally thank them for providing lunch for the V-Excel family's year-end meeting.
