Although I want to hone different skills by the end of this two-year program, the one I am really looking forward to improving is logical reasoning in light of high critical thinking skills. As a STEP teacher, I oblige myself to answer students’ questions with high religious knowledge and logical justification.

In our context, most of the time, we just keep going on without consciously reflecting on our teaching practices. After joining STEP, I want to develop myself into a reflective practitioner.
I also want to further develop the skill of adaptability (with respect to teaching). I want to somehow modify the strategies and lessons according to the needs and skills of my learners.

One skill I want to develop is reflection writing. Although,I have some knowledge of reflective writing but I want to become a very good reflective practicer by developing this skill.

A skill that I would like to develop during my time at the IIS would be to make connections. connections with the content and knowledge so that I relate it to my future students. connections with my peers so that I make long lasting friendships. connection with the city that I will be living for the next two years. connections with my previous knowledge and building further..

I want to develop my critical thinking skills in a way that I can express and communicate my thoughts, observations and reflections academically, during the STEP programme and after, as a STEP Teacher.

Becoming a free learner for me means conquering my fears as a learner and being able to express my ideas freely.
This can include multiple skills within it but I think this is a skill in itself...

The skill of Questioning-
From generic to specific, open-ended, thought-provoking, perspective- changing questions. Questions that lead to high order thinking and reflecting more.

I want to focus on my critical reading and thinking skills. Although these skills are core to the program and will take time to develop over the course of the next 2 years. I want to develop a strategy to not simply read but also understand the articles and course material with a deeper understanding.

I think a skill that I would prefer to develop in the next coming weeks is developing argument. It means I want to learn about making the ideas into paper form.

I feel like my reflection skill really needs to get improved at least during the first year of STEP . To be able to work as a student and a teacher I really need to work on this skill.

In my journey as an educator, I aspire to refine my Adaptability and Differentiation skills to cultivate a culturally inclusive classroom. Embracing the rich diversity of my global student body, I aim to tailor my teaching methods, materials, and assessments to honour individual backgrounds, languages, and learning styles. This dynamic approach will foster an environment where every student's unique strengths are nurtured, leading to enriched learning experiences and greater academic success.

My goal on STEP programme is to work on my critical analysis skill. This may include the criticality in my reading and writing segments. As an Asian student critical reflection is not common in academia and students mostly feel difficulty when they enrolled in a University abroad. I am working on this skill and still wants to polish it on the STEP journey.

One skill that I would like to work on in the upcoming months is being able to verbally articulate what my thoughts, feelings, and conclusions are based on texts and discussions taking place amongst my peers and teachers. I can express my thoughts in written form in many ways, but I shy away from having academic discussions in an open forum. I hope to be able to open up myself more while expressing myself and being okay in not necessarily knowing the right answer but still putting myself out there.
