Academy of Teaching Excellence

From Meera Suresh's Desk

This month has been an active month for the ATE. As the First batch of ATE candidates are taking up their examinations more concentration is on following up with Annamalai University. Getting the Confirmed dates, Examination Venue, Question paper acceptance, etc. took many calls and follow ups from our end.

Preparation for the Examination and guiding the candidates in the path of studies was a task enjoyed by an Ex-teacher/principal. We were helping and guiding the candidates regarding the case study presentations.

Advertisements for the courses have been put on Mylapore Times, Adyar Times and The Hindu . We had a press meet on 7/12/17, where we were recorded by around 18 news papers and news channels regarding V-Excel organization and the ATE Course.

The Inauguration of batch-2 was done on 16th December. The classes will officially start in January. Bhaskar and myself had visited the Annamalai University to finalize the examination Details. Bhaskar had visited the Egmore branch of Annamalai Univesity to follow up the Examination details as per the instructions given by the Chidambaram CEO office.

Mobilization work is going on earnestly. Now we are into Mobilization for ATE classes as well as SLD course set to start in the second week of January. Charumathi and myself had gone to meet the CEO of the Education department to get permission to visit the government schools to create awareness about the ATE courses.

We may be given an opportunity to address the HM's of the school in the Month of January. Will be following it up. This was made possible with the help of Mrs. Rama Nagarajan.
