मी शिवानी भाऊराव भावले, चंद्रशेखर आगाशे महाविद्यालयातील बी.पी.एड प्रथम वर्षाची विद्यार्थिनी. लहानपणी शाळेत असताना वाटायचं शिक्षक होणं किती सोप्प! त्यात खेळाची विलक्षण आवड असल्यामुळे मला शारीरिक शिक्षण शिक्षक व्हायचंय अस मनात ठरवलं. मस्त छान छान तयारी करून यायचं. विद्यार्थ्यांना एक रांगेत मैदानावर यायला सांगायचं, मग विद्यार्थ्यांना एखाद-दोन बॉल द्यायचे व खेळायला सांगायचं आणि आपण मैदानाच्या एक कोपऱ्यात उभे राहून फक्त लक्ष ठेवायचं. १.. २.. ३.. ४.. म्हणत सामूहिक कवायत करायला सांगायची. विद्यार्थी ऐकत नसेल तर रागवायचे, शिक्षा करायची आणि तास संपला की एक लांब शिट्टी वाजवून विद्यार्थ्यांना एका रांगेत परत वर्गात जायला सांगायचं बस.. संपला तास... पण तेव्हा कुठे एवढं कळायचं, की क्रीडा शिक्षक होणे काही सोपे नाही आणि शिक्षकांना किती आणि काय काम असतात हेही माहीत नव्हतं. त्यात आगाशे महाविद्यालयात प्रवेश झालं, मग काय शारीरिक शिक्षण शिक्षकाची माझ्या नजरेत असलेली संपुर्ण कनसेप्टच बदलून गेली. सगळीकडे कोरोना असल्यामुळे महाविद्यालय काही सुरू झाले नाही व आम्हाला मैदानावरील अनुभवही घेता आला नाही, याची खंत नेहमी मनात असेल. लॉकडाऊनमुळे महाविद्यालय बंद असले तरी आपल्या आगाशे महाविद्यालयाच्या सर्व शिक्षकांनी ऑनलाईन लेक्चर घेतले. ऑनलाईनच्या माध्यमातून सुद्धा आम्हाला इतकं छान शिक्षण दिलं. आम्हाला गेस्ट लेक्चर उपलब्ध करून दिले. आमच्या भाषेत एक नंबर... कडक.. लई भारी.. अस आम्हाला शिकवलं. गेल्या चार महिन्यांपासून सगळे घरून लेक्चर अटेंड करत आहोत. ऑनलाईन असून सुद्धा सर्व शिक्षकांनी जशी आमच्यावर जादूच केली आणि आमचं आयुष्यच बदलून टाकलं. प्रत्येकाचा अनुभव हा वेगळा असेल, माझा अनुभव असा आहे की... ज्या गोष्टी कधी ऐकल्याही नव्हत्या त्या इथे शिकायला मिळाल्या, ज्या गोष्टीमुळे घरात बोलणे खायचो, त्याच गोष्टीसाठी आता शाबासकी मिळते.. सर्व गोष्टी वेळेवर करण्याची सवय लागली. आत्मविश्वास वाढला, कठीण परिस्थितीत सुद्धा खंबीरपणे उभं राहता आले. माझ्या आयुष्यातील turning point म्हणजे आगाशे महाविद्यालय आणि महाविद्यालयामधील सर्व शिक्षक... आगाशे महाविद्यालयात फक्त एक क्रीडा शिक्षकच घडवत नाही तर एक आदर्श व्यक्तिमत्व घडवते, हे फक्त ऐकून होते आता ते अनुभवायला मिळालं.. फक्त चार महिन्यांतच तेही ऑनलाईनच्या माध्यमातून एवढा बदल होत असेल तर महाविद्यालयाला आल्यावर किती गोष्टी शिकायला मिळतील... “अभी तो सिर्फ शुरुवात हे,,, बहुत कुछ सिखना बाकी हे...” आज १९ जून, २०२१, आपल्या बी.पी.एड प्रथम वर्षाच्या प्रथम सत्राचा शेवटचा दिवस.. सर्व शिक्षकांना खूप खूप धन्यवाद..!!

CACPE has laid the foundation stone of physical education and made a turning a point in my career. I did my bachelors and topped the university exams in my masters. Cleared SET and NET exams and got a job at Fitkids Education and Training Pvt. Ltd though campus interview. Working at Fitkids as a physical education specialist where in we have to teach a variety of physical activities and sports has been a lot easier due to the training and knowledge imparted at CACPE. The campus is nice and teaching staff is very encouraging and supportive. It has been a great learning experience!

I still remember the first day I came to India for my further studies which was like a dream comes true. Indeed, it was a dream which soon changed for me because in reality things are different. Staying alone, washing clothes, cooking, etc, all this were being carried out by me only without the support of anyone. Yet, it was a challenge for me and today I am proud because I know I did it… Studying in C.A.C.P.E was just a matter of luck for me because before coming here, I never heard of this college or of its location. It was purely a matter of chance and coincidence that I came in C.A.C.P.E and today I can proudly say that I form part of the team of C.A.C.P.E. This college has given me tremendous knowledge, wonderful and adorable teachers, superb friends and great memories. These 11 months were like a re-birth for me as a PE teacher. We have learnt so many things that it forces us to be and act as a good PE teacher. The whole syllabus of the B.Ed programme is made in such a way that it teaches us punctuality, discipline, patience, team spirit, honesty, sincerity, time management, fair play, etc. It encompasses all the ethics and values that a PE teacher should have and also values for a common individual as well. The atmosphere that reign in the campus of C.A.C.P.E is full of positive energy and full of high qualified, sincere, dedicated teachers as well as the Principal who make their best by devoting their whole time to the students. Thus, I can say that C.A.C.P.E is one of the most prestigious and best colleges in Physical education all over India.
