Hi everyone,

We have almost come to the end of Term 2 and the holidays is just around the corner.

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.

Question 1

a. Do you have difficulty trying to develop yourself professionally?

b. What are the factors that contribute to these challenges?

Question 2

a. What is the key area that teachers need to continuously develop?

b. How do you think teachers can be developed in this area optimally?

Question 3

Lesson observation is being conducted every year for teachers.

a. Do you feel that you are being assessed during the lesson observation?

b. Do you feel stress out when preparing for lesson observation?

c. Do you think our current practice of lesson observation benefitted you?

d. Do you always conduct the same lesson pedagogy for your other normal lessons?

e. How do you think we should approach lesson observation so that, we, teachers can really benefit from it?
