It is my third time in teaching children in schools, both in primary & secondary levels, 5 weeks, 14 weeks & 3 months. To consider a longer period as long term choice of job have to be thought deeply & thoroughly. I can't mixed it with my personal life or feelings as being an educator influence a lot of human beings, community and society.
I have not taken this profession seriously that I view teaching job just as a money earning channel, but I have neglected that to be respected and respect the others are the most important to happily involving in teaching. Otherwise, I would lose myself and depressed without knowing why I choose to teach.
Teachers have advised me to be a really professional in this noble job- teaching. Don't neglect their learning and other aspects, but standing sided by sided with them to have better communication with them, especially in information boosted IT world in this generations. People have twisted values rather than the truths. They wish to have people understanding their behaviours rather than forcing & urging them to do this and that. So be rational in my actions with wisdom from my Creator, all Mighty dear God. You are my strengths. Infinite praise to HIM from my soul, my heart and my mouth. Your love is the only true love and strength for me to continue walking,flying in my lifetime.
I should be strict with my instructions and make everyone acquiring knowledge and values at the same time, on their paces. Creativity with explanations from my own understanding and words are the best. Keep them be confident in their studies and let them learn at the firsthand, then only asking them to practise based on their new knowledge to activate their critical thinking. If I'm so lazy to use my brain, how about them as students? In addition, they may not really comprehend what I have told them. Thus, teaching while making sure they understand is the most essential aspect to achieve teaching and learning objectives. Scold them doesn't mean I do not love them. But scold with wisdom to inspire them, not to embarrass them. Be careful my words and tones.I, as a teacher have to be the centered of the class, as a leader and a guider.
To be able to manage my own class is the most basic before involving with the whole school, or even the society. Thanks God for helping me while I felt disappointed. Firstly, a disciplied teacher scolded a class of students without acknowledgement of mine, after I revealed my problem in the class. I know that he really helped me. I thought he will not take any actions as he told me to tell the class teacher. Thanks God and blessed him. But after a while, they become naughty again. I think the problem is within me, my positive influenceness among students has to be filled in. Let them know they still can talk in the class, but emphasize in their academic studies first. Secondly, from the Christian radio,'Jia Ying Guan Bo', I learn that a medical profession changes her job to be a teacher, with courses about their interesting topics such as 'difference between two sexes' and 'Youths with No Regret' as well as their awareness of their inner values and healthiness! Suddenly, I think to introduce Nutrilite supplements to my students to help their overall health and performance in their academic aspect. At that time, I was taking my health supplements after 'abondoning' them for a few months because of sadness. How surprised I was as I used to take care of my health so much! 'Is we who change the worlds, or the
worlds change us?'
Not to forget my ambition is to be a lecturer. THUS, talking a lot with points is very important. Be a matured and an independent adult. Be focused.
To have flexible time, I want to have my own tuition center with a few tutors. Other time, spreading good news and Gospel that give hope to people. Doing Amway and Hong Leong insurance are good too!
Integrating the ‘four Cs’ into instruction, the “four Cs”—critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, as 21st-century skills.
1. Adopt your vision.
2. Create a community consensus.
3. Align your system around these goals.
4. Build professional capacity.
5. Focus your curriculum and assessment.
6. Support your teachers.
7. Improve and innovate.
He said many school districts begin with step three, but articulating a vision and creating a community consensus around teaching the “four Cs” are essential to success.
Kay also identified three key “building blocks” for integrating these skills into instruction: (1) courageous leadership, (2) assessment tied to 21st-century skills, and (3) creating a culture of “laser-like focus” on collaboration and continuous improvement.
