Teachers should remain contactable at all times during work hours and ready to return to school if necessary

Should teachers also be required to have their work laptops with them for flexi-place?

# data[].attributes.body
FTs to be contactable during curriculum time if they have left school

All FTs to be kept in the loop with regard to student matters

# data[].attributes.body
Keep subject teachers of the students informed for e.g a WhatsApp group (but this might also means that teachers like PAM teachers have a lot of group chats)

We can also arrange with our co-form teachers such that there is always one form teacher in school (for e.g. alternate week), in the event that both form teachers are not around, Year Head must be informed in advance

And teachers should remain contactable at all times (because the idea if flexi-place and not that you are not working)

# data[].attributes.body
1. FT should still remain contactable nonetheless, its a privilege not an entitlement.

2. Rotation basis with FTs

3. Process should be in place, eg. mutual agreement amongst FT, recorded down somewhere, one FT on MC - though via rotation its the FT's turn leave school early, duty of care should apply, FT should stay.

4. Ultimately, Flexi arrangement is staff should still be working, just that in a different place

# data[].attributes.body
During school hours, at least one FT should be in school.

There should be documentation on which teachers are working from home, who are the buddy teachers-in-charge of that particular teacher etc

All teachers should remain contactable during school hours.

Implement a structure at the start of the programme

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to have sight of students involved in afterschool activities outside curriculum hours eg. CCA or competitions.

It would be helpful for FTs to be aware of their students' involvement of activities/pgms/competitions during and after school curriculum hours.

# data[].attributes.body
All staff must be ready to help one another if the need arises. E.g., the level teachers can step up to help look for the child.

Culture of care and camaraderie.

Increase the number of HBL so that we can work from home more.

# data[].attributes.body
The teachers should remain contactable within curriculum time and have access to laptop/scmobile.

What kind of information is only accessible to the FT? e.g. Health conditions, parent's contact number.

Can the list of students who leave the school early be informed to teachers as a soft copy instead of hardcopy?

# data[].attributes.body
Staff to remain contactable

Provide support to one another whenever needed

Exercise professionalism

Teachers need to be clear of SOPs

# data[].attributes.body
Form teachers should take turns and arrange among themselves, with the Year Head having the relevant information. It is important to clearly define the roles of both the Form Teacher and the Year Head. The Form Teacher may not always know why a child is absent/missing, so having a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in place for the whole staff is essential. Additionally, considerations should be made for situations where the Year Head is on flexible work arrangements.

# data[].attributes.body
MUST remain contactable if leaving school

database should be easily accessible, more data points can be included in class profile

Protocol to leave school: Let YH or RO know.

Have at least one FT in school

# data[].attributes.body
1. Accountability - still be contactable, out-of-school visibility

2. Communication is key between FTs, e.g., working out your schedule, try not to have 2 FTs out at one time and 1 FT to be present in school

3. Students' information must be updated timely, e.g., students who have early dismissal arrangements

# data[].attributes.body
1. Get the mentality right - its a privilege, not an entitlement

2. Though not physically around, should not be "I'm not there, I cannot deal with it". Duty of care still remains with the teacher

3. Should not be doing something that would restrict staff from coming back eg. go off to JB. Working hours should still apply during flexi-place.

4. If activity need not involve student, need not be physically around eg. PSLE Marking Exercise

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers should remain contactable at all times. If the need arises (esp during emergencies), the teacher should come back to school.

Systems and processes needs to put in place so that students' information are kept up the date (e.g., update in SC if a child leaves school early)

# data[].attributes.body
Implement a structure/ work flow so that teachers are informed when on FWA

Implement something like SCMobile for teachers so that FWA arrangements are transparent to all

# data[].attributes.body
Remain contactable at all times (remember that it is working hours)

Be accountable, responsible and professional (mindset)

We should work with and within the timetable, and not be calculative

Is a shared responsibility

# data[].attributes.body
STAY CONTACTABLE

SOP for flow of contact

Record of how students go home

# data[].attributes.body
Having a schedule between form teachers to ensure at least 1 FT is around at all times (maybe rotation basis)

# data[].attributes.body
Try as best to plan forward and must always communicate early leave plans.

Have a landing page on the BLGPS intranet to see which teachers are not in school.

# data[].attributes.body
Readily contactable via phone; can ask support of subject teachers/YH to physically search the student.

Working as a team à ask other colleagues to cover and help

Rotation among FTs

Contact parents it’s better for Form Teachers/Subject Teacher as they already have rapport with students.

Class chatgroup with subject teachers for easy comms

# data[].attributes.body
Staff should remain contactable and inform the Year Head before going on a flexible work arrangement. Level teachers should communicate via the level chat. A template should be provided for teachers to key in their status before going on a flexible work arrangement, ensuring transparency on who is in or out.

Additionally, if a teacher’s timetable does not allow for a flexible work arrangement, they will be assigned fewer relief duties or no duties as compensation.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to be contactable and reachable at all times.

Wherever we are working at, we need to hv access to information or records eg. Shared folder, school cockpit etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Communication with your partner FT

Give & take, compromise among FTs

School to have clear SOPs so that no one take advantage of FWA arrangements

Flexi place maybe more applicable during work week, PLSE marking (non-markers). For Work week can consolidate all F2F engagements into 1-2 days the rest can be online, OTOT

Have a cut-off time before a staff can leave school (e.g., after 11.30 a.m.)

# data[].attributes.body
To determine what meetings can be online and offline? Going back to the efficiency of online meetings.

Perhaps a even/odd week kind of arrangements where teachers take turn to report late/dismiss earlier

Consider after-school arrangements, where teachers who have these might be able to report late?

Appreciate the fact that the teachers can take turns to report for assembly

For progress to take place, perhaps at the start only some will benefit. Moving forward, we can review and re-look at processes to see how it can include more staff.
