Putting the child at the heart of all we do: Reflect on “How does what I am doing develops the child and takes care of the well-being of the child?”

Believe that they can make a difference to a child’s life: Remembering that the impact of education may not be immediately seen. “We talk so much about leaving a better planet to our kids, but let’s also remember to leave better kids to our planet.”

Keeping in mind that students are our main priority in our Singapore Education philosophy, the Ethos will serve as a guide for me and my fellow colleagues that it is our responsibilities to be role models and uphold our core values for our students in school. We, as a teaching fraternity, have to lead and inspire them so that they would have the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to take on whatever challenges that they may face in the future and to have a sound moral compass. I, as a teacher leader, have to continue to deepen my expertise and continue to forge strong partnership with my fellow colleagues as we continue to grow and help our students in our educational journey.

As ST, the ethos remind us to lead by example to seek continuous learning so as to be an inspiration to not only our students but also to our fellow colleagues so as we can grow as a fraternity and also as a nation.

With the Singapore’s education philosophy and Desired Outcomes of education in mind, I will help the teachers and school design a curriculum that is developmentally-appropriate and intentional in helping to develop students into individuals who:

· Know and love Singapore

· Have a sense a belonging and emotional rootedness to the nation, and desire to give back to the society,

· Are cooperative, know how to share and care for others,

· Can distinguish right from wrong and make the right choices and decisions,

· Are aware of their personal strengths and areas of growth and work towards self-improvement and achievement,

· Are independent (think for themselves) and confident,

· Are responsible and take pride in their work and

· Have healthy habits.

The Teachers’ Vision, Teachers’ Creed and Teachers’ Pledge can be used with my mentees and myself as a self-check to ensure that we are on the right track especially at times when moral decisions need to be made. They also serve as a reminder of the importance in partnering stake holders to ensure that the desired outcomes of education are achieved.

Nurturing the child:

As teacher, we should always put the child at the center of learning, believe every child can learn an achieve, DI as a teaching philosophy, can guide teachers to support every child success in learning.

As teacher leader, we should set role model and influence our colleagues to develop the character of the child and prepare him for citizenship and the place of work.

As Senior Teachers, we will encounter teachers who might not see how the lines can be blurred by their actions. I see it as my responsibility to discuss the ethos and have a conversation with them regarding the "why" certain beliefs are put in place. The ethos talks about us continuing to learn and pass on the love of learning to our students.

As Senior Teachers, we too need to role model the love of learning and build our team as we all learn together. For many teachers, they may not know how to unpack the Ethos with relevance to themselves. However, I'm sure that the conversations and discussions will help to bring their concerns to light so that they can understand why things are done in a certain way.

Students are the main concern in our profession and the ethos serve to guide teachers to uphold our mission as educators, to lead, care and inspire future generations.

Apart from the children we are nurturing, as STs, we need to honour our past and inspire the future.  Honour the past by preserving the core values uphold by the professions, inspire the future by setting high standard pertaining to our own belief and actions.  We need to be exemplars so that  distinct professional identity and pride can be established. With this identity and pride, hopefully all the ethos can be uphold diligently.

We share our expertise. And this expertise may come in the form of knowledge and skills about specific content (e.g., mathematics, social-emotional learning) or teaching skills (e.g., teaching with technology, questioning strategies). Their expertise may also come in the form of leadership skills (e.g., helping teams build consensus, making data-driven decisions).

At the same time we are sharing our expertise, we should also be acquiring other forms of expertise as we pursue professional development to help our peers solve problems our teams have identified.

Expert teachers are not always teacher leaders. However, building expertise is essential to becoming a teacher leader.

The messages that I give as a teacher leader will drive the values system and the actions that will be taking. What do I want my classroom to be? How would I want my students, parents, teachers to feel about learning, belonging, contributing as members of the school community? How do I want my colleagues to feel about working with me? Thinking about these things helps to plan the actions and the messages I need to take things forward.

As teacher leaders, we are role models to both our students and our fellow colleagues. It is important that we have the Ethos of the Teaching profession to guide us in being that role model to others. It also allows us to have a clear direction as an educator and the responsibilities that comes with the role.

It is important to always remember that we are not teaching a 'subject' in school but a 'human being' whose life experiences in school will shape his/her values system to a certain extent. We need to work together with other stakeholders to assume the responsibility of building the character of our students and 'mould the future generation'.

The Ethos of the Teaching Profession helps foster a distinct professional identity and deepens the pride that we have in our chosen profession.

As teacher leaders, we just need to be true to our mission as teachers, and honour the teaching profession. This will guide us in anything we do.

Always putting the child at the centre of learning, believing and helping each individual child to identify his/her talents to the best of my ability.
As teacher leaders, we will continue to learn and pass on the love of learning to our students and be role models and inspire both our teachers and students to continue to be the best version of themselves.
Failures are not scary, instead they should be seen as opportunities for growth. A life perfect with no flaws won't allow for much growth to occur. If one never fails before, he/she will never understand how it feels like.

Ethos of the Teaching profession is to guide teachers in our role as an educator. And as STs, we will have to role-model this to the other teachers in our daily interactions with others. It is a "we" thing, not a "I" thing.
Together with the other colleagues and stakeholders through purposeful communication, we can work together to bring out the best in the students.

As a teacher leader, it is my role to share with the fraternity knowledge that might help them gain deeper subject and content mastery so that their teaching is developmentally appropriate. I can also help them gain insight into differentiated instruction which would then allow teachers to teach so that each child can learn and achieve.

As teacher leaders, it is our duty to be exemplary in our actions. We guide our teachers to uphold common values and beliefs while serving with honour what we have undertaken as educators. As teachers play a pivotal role in nurturing our children, the Ethos is a compass that will guide us as we navigate through our profession as educators. Revisiting the Teachers' Vision, Creed and Pledge with all teachers would be a good reminder for all of why we are in the profession.

I will use Ethos of teaching as a guidance for my work especially for decision making.  The Key Stage Outcomes of Education can remind us to reflect and revise our works right direction. As a mentor, whenever something happens and the situation is complex and not easy to solve, we can always think back to all these and make a better decision.

The Ethos acts as a moral vision to guide me in leading my mentees as a Teacher Leader. I resonate with the belief that we should nurture the whole child, as every child has intrinsic worth and we can enable each one to learn and achieve.

The set of Ethos reminds us that education is holistic and that we teach who we are. Teacher Leaders should lead by example and model the way.

As a teacher leader, I role model to my fellow teachers on how to progressively develop challenging students to realise their full potential.
