The mentoring session for the S.Y.B.Ed students was organized at St. Teresa’s Institute of Education by Dr. Cerena D’cunha and Dr. Reshma Rodrigues. The speaker for the session was an alumni of St. Teresa’s Institute of Education Miss. Danica D’souza. There were a total of 51 participants present for this session. The main objective of the session was to guide the students to prepare good and creative lessons and to mentor them about how to plan and implement the Unit Test as a part of their Unit Test Project.

Dr. Cerena D’cunha began the session by introducing Miss. Danica D’souza. Miss. Danica began her presentation where she spoke about the Lesson Execution, planning and implementing the Unit Test. She showed us various ways in which we can make our lessons interesting including using mnemonics, picture associations, audio-visuals and relating it to real life. She also told us how we can manage our time by keeping extra questions and activities ready in case we finish our lesson early. She focused on Bloom’s Taxonomy when planning the Unit Test and guided us through some problems that may arise when implementing the Unit Test and how to deal with them. One of the students got her doubt clarified when the session was open for doubts and questions. Dr. Cerena D’cunha and Dr. Reshma Rodrigues thanked Miss. Danica D’souza. Finally, our student Miss. Simran Mendes, concluded by giving a vote of thanks on behalf of STIE.

The session was fruitful and will surely help us not just in our Unit Test Project but also as we become teachers in the future.
