Hi All,
This is for the benefit of ppl who would like to teach in future in any NGO. Mailing it as it was requested by Arun(arun@muktafoundation.org).
Initially though we thought of teaching 8th and 9th std kids along with 10th std, we had to restrict ourselves to 10th Std (English and Kannada medium) as we were only four of us. We used to visit only during weekends. We had a time table set up for each one if us.
We noticed that the kids were not revising anything as some of us were not regular in the beginning and kids were initially not serious.
After we became regular also, we had to revise whatever that was taught a week before for at least 30min before we teach them new topics. This happened for about three weeks. Then I realized that I need to visit even more frequently if not others. So I started going on weekdays and weekends. This is when I found good response from the children. They remembered what was taught (something if not everything).
I used to give them surprise tests (few problems to solve) just to see how equipped they were for the tests. They did well in tests as the tests were confined to less potions.
It was hard to digest for us the fact that the children scored very less in their first preparatory. Later due to continued efforts of all the volunteers, we were able to help them perform better. The results were good in second preparatory.
We are expecting their grand finale results & hoping for better results.
On behalf of Socare team,
Warm Regards,
Kusuma
