Sharing at Zhonghua

On 23 May 2007, Check Siew and I shared out experience about the school attachment I did from Januray to march this year. We spoke suring the staff contact time and I was very heartened to see many nods of agreement with the problems, suggestions and learning points we shared. I have listen some of our takeaways here too:


 

• Many of the things I teach at NIE will work despite what my trainees tell me.
• It’s a matter of thinking through carefully and customizing.
• How much and when to do – to meet own targets
• Yes, it can be tough and tedious; No, not if you work with someone.
• Timing of the attachment – good because of new syllabus
• Term one is good timing for attachment
• Overall learning experience is important
• Tap on your own strength in your groups
• So that you can try out on your own later
• After teaching for a long time – the experience of having someone looking at it differently is refreshing
• It is a Win-win situation

In summary we also pointed out about:

 

• Content drives pedagogy
• Thinking on one’s feet
• Differentiated Instruction
• Working with someone

We will adpat the sharing session as a sharing for a forthcoming forum at SEAGA 2007 (https://www.seaga.co.nr/). Do join us there!
