Academy of Teaching Excellence

From Meera Suresh's Desk

We have guided, helped and collected all the case studies to be presented to the Annamalai University for the viva voce

Myself and Bhaskaran Visited lady Sivasamy Iyer girls Higher secondary school and made a presentation to the class XII students regarding the ATE Course. We stressed the 100% placement opportunity for the deserving candidates and also about the contribution to the society through this course. We also mentioned the difference between the fee structure for weekday and the weekend batch. They were also informed about our collaboration with Annamalai University for the exams.

Mr.Jesuraj visited the ATE class on 5th of February and interacted with the candidates, stressing on the needs to fulfill the TMF expectations regarding the course. He then came and checked all the registers, the MIS entries, and all the support documents as mentioned in the TMF SOP. Mrs.Lekshmi Ramesh and Mrs.Charumathi were a part of this discussion and added valuable points.

Mr. Jegan from TMF came again to the center to address the candidates, checked the profile of the candidates, their background, ambitions and their needs for joining the course. He also laid down the need for the candidates to give their best and become a good Faculty member in the future. He shared that he may need a few of them as faculty in the near future for training other candidates and shared his mail ID and phone number. He insisted that they can contact him in the given mail ID only after the completion of the course and receiving the certificate. He also discussed with the candidates whether the course can be taken to other cities and whether it would be successful and all the candidates shared that this was an excellent course.

Mr. Jegan discussed the Placement methodology for the successful candidates and we have shared about the same much to his satisfaction.

The Second two days of the 3-month course of SLD saw 90+% attendance. The classes were handled by Lekshmi Ramesh and Kejal Bhakshi on day one. We also saw Specialists like Dr. Yayathi, Dr. Senthil, visiting us to share a few valid points on Day-2. Dr. Santhanam and Dr. Suganthi also shared valuable experiences on the topics at hand on day-2.

On Day 1, 12 children from Anandam came to the center for Review and Counselling. Dr. Santhanam along with his assistant Shruthi took care of the same. As usual Lunch was arranged for all the candidates, Faculty members and for the children of Anandam. This was supervised by us (Meera, and Bhaskaran) along with Hari Krishnan, and Jaikumar.

Mrs. Shashikala Subramaniam of KLC came and addressed the ATE candidates and requested their support in the Survey for the Tiffin Time activity to be launched at Sharada.

Soft Skill classes are also going on for the ATE candidates with Mrs. Meera taking care of the same. Two sessions on Communication and Attitude have been completed and many more to go in the coming months.
