Jose D. Sujeev’s career as a English teacher has been a long and fulfilling one, but nothing gives him more satisfaction than ‘Let’s Build Vocabulary,’ an exercise started by him during COVID-19 to help build the English vocabulary of students who were isolated from one another and away from the classroom environment during the pandemic.

Mr. Sujeev on Tuesday received the National Teachers’ Award from President Droupadi Murmu in the most significant milestone of a journey spanning more than three decades.
Also a recipient of the State Teachers’ Award in 2019, Mr. Sujeev at present works at Government Model Girls Higher Secondary School, Pattom, in the State capital.
He was academic coordinator of the textbook development team that prepared the English textbooks currently in use for all classes except for VII and IX. He is also part of the team that is preparing the textbooks that will be taught in schools from the next academic year as part of school curriculum revision in the State.
Mr. Sujeev who has worked as research officer at the State Council of Educational Research and Training has also prepared English textbooks for the Kerala State Literacy Mission Authority and polytechnic students and resource material for general schools and special schools.
As a State resource group core member, he has prepared modules for teacher training programmes and conducted trainings too.
Mr. Sujeev who retires this academic year says it is important for teachers to update themselves. “Every class they take should be different from the one the previous day. They should plan and strive for it, making time even outside the teaching hours.”
