Academy of Teaching Excellence

From Meera Suresh's Desk

ATE classes for multiple disabilities and Inclusive Education started with very dedicated and sincere candidates. Mrs. Usha and Dr. Santhanam are handling the classes and are very happy with the choice of candidates. Attendance on most days is full. We as a team sat together to discuss the current syllabus and the changes that should be facilitated in the books for the benefit of the candidates. Dr. Santhanam, Mrs. Usha Venkatesan, Mrs. Hemamalini and Meera were the part of the discussion. Based on the same we have submitted the Document with the necessary changes to the University for their approval. We have personally handed over the same to the Director Mr. Arul during our visit to the University. We were invited by Dr. Arul Director of Annamalai University to meet the newly appointed Vice Chancellor Mr. Murugesan. He shared his happiness at the way we were going about with the program and blessed us with his continued support for the same.
We received the happy news of the 100% result of Batch 2 candidates. Out of the 35 candidates who had taken the Examinations, 32 candidates have got the First class , One candidates Mrs. Eswari Andiappan secured the Distinction, and 2 candidates got the second class. We had Individually called up all the candidates and conveyed their success to them and shared our wishes and happiness.
Soft Skill Classes are also going on in full swing with most days having full attendance. We then started the follow up of the weekend classes for Inclusive Education. We sent mails to special schools and to normal schools regarding the same. We had also called many candidates to meet us in person at our office. We have been able to admit a few candidates (Target was only 10). We have admitted 4 out-station candidates in the Distance Education Mode. They will also give their examinations from their place of residence, Kerala, Hyderabad, Nashik and Orissa.
We had the shoot of the ATE classroom where Dr. Santhanam and Mrs. Usha shared their views on the importance of doing this course and also the need for additional faculty members. A Classroom assessment test on Communication as a part of the Soft Skill training was taken on 27/7/18. We had a full attendance for the same. All candidates gave their exams with enthusisasm.
