An instance that captured me was when Min Chan tapped upon the African saying “if you want to go fast, you go alone; if you want to go far, you go together” to remind us that we need to leverage on technology to go fast and go far. Thereafter, Min Chan shared Singapore’s success story in the field of education to emphasise the importance of consistently executing our ideas well. This is how we made progress. He charges us as teachers to lead all of our students down the path of success — each in his or her own terms.

When considered in the context of QTSS MTL Department, perhaps we need to identify an application of technology that all of us can do and are doing. Our goal in 2024 would be to execute (use) this technology well, ideally throughout the year. Then as a team, we will be in the position to evaluate whether we made progress for ourselves and for our students. That would be our shot at giving our students a taste of success down the road of being a creator, a connector and a contributor.

High Point

There is a special needs student in my class who, since Sec 1, doesn't speak much (speech and hearing impairment) even when bullied or had doubts about learning. This year, not only does he voluntarily come to me when he need help, he takes the initiative to be helpful in class. During PTM, the mother of the student told me she is very glad her son met me and my co-form and it made me so euphoric to be accepted by the boy and that his family have heard him speak about us.

Low Point

I always joke that I am performing on a world tour in SGH. This year, the dept of ophthalmology threw me to the dept of neurology when they could not find out what is the matter with me after my MRI. I am the personification of the Chinese phrase 视而不见 because I have been walking into things even though I see them but my brain doesn't register their presence in my path. I have scared my class a few times when I walked backwards into the edge of the whiteboard and had to sit down in pain. Hopefully all this will pass soon.

One Takeaway

Min Chan mentioned Creators and PEO. We have always made decisions for our students to participate in a select few programmes. With the establishment of PEO, I am wondering if perhaps we can partner Lianhe Zaobao or some other suitable organisations to arrange for LJs and workshops like APLMs (e.g. for MT Fortnight) so that students can take ownership of their learning, as well as explore the aspect of MTL that interests them?

High Point

Two parents, during PTM, openly affirmed my guidance for their children, not only in Chinese language learning but also in the consistent recognition and encouragement I provide to them in their daily lives. This has to some extent positively influenced the students. This makes me feel gratified and deeply moved

Low Point

In Semester 2, two students had been involved in disciplinary issues in my CM class

One Takeaway

Every student has their own strengths and weaknesses. I aim to make the most of my teaching time and opportunities, using Chinese language learning as a platform to instill in them the right values and effective study methods for their individual needs. I want to make their secondary school experience as enjoyable and meaningful as possible.

This is my favourite photo because I did not travel anywhere. Instead, I spent time with my family. I took my mom shopping and got her a slow cooker. Being an only child, it amused her when I put my plushie into the slow cooker to test the size of the slow cooker and brought back so much memories of her playing with me when I was a kid (much to the horror of my daughter)

High Point: When the Sec 3 students who have been failing consistently passed their MT for the first time in T1 this year.
Low Point: When my Chinese Dance got Accomplishment this year. It is not so much about winning Distinction, but that seeing how disappointed my girls were after the effort they put in, it made me sad too. But at the end of the day, sadness aside, it was a good learning experience for both the students and teachers.
Key Takeaway: To find out more about the background of students being making judgement based on individual incidents.
