Mid Year Review 2009
Hi everyone,
We have almost come to the end of Term 2 and the holidays is just around the corner. It is always a good practice to conduct a mid year review on all the things that we have done for the first semester so that we can enhance our strength and work on the AFIs. So let us take a while to think and reflect on these questions.
a. List 3 things that I have done well as a teacher.
b. List 2 things that we have done well as a department.
c. List 1 most important thing that we need to improve on as a department.
Thank you and have a wonderful holidays!!

Professional Development
As we prepare to meet the demands of this century, I strongly believe that it is important for us, educators, to continously develop ourselves in areas such as content pedagogy, classroom management skills, students' welfare and social emotional skills, ICT etc. With many areas for development, it is necessary for us to find the best and efficient method that can help us GROW.
I am looking at ways on how we can achieve this and I need some feedback & comments from all our teachers. Please provide me with your frank feedback and if you have any idea to share, you are most welcome.

Term 1 Reflection 2009
As a follow up to the sharing that was conducted on Wednesday, 28/1/2009, we have revisited Polya's 4 steps to mathematical problem solving.
During the session, we discussed about issues of why teachers are so used to the 3E's method of teaching even till today & also the skill to identify routine & non-routine questions.
I would like invite you to respond to these questions:
a. What does 3E's mean and your personal view on it (be frank)?
b. Is there any simple method of categorizing problems into routine & non routine?
c. Have you start introducing Polya's 4 steps to your classes (be frank)?
Hope to get all your frank responses.
