What worked well (but can also be improved) Subject collaboration

# data[].attributes.body
For both students and teachers: more collaboration with other subjects. Some of the topics in wellbeing and GSP are being taught in other classes like ESL, Science, P.E., school counselor/ career counselor, and other Vietnamese classes. Or vice versa, wellbeing/GSP teacher can do follow-up and reflection during wellbeing and GSP classes

Projects and activities (example: taking care of the body, taking care of environment could collaborate with ESL and Science)

Vocabulary time (ESL): new concepts in wellbeing

GSP Project presentation: public speaking skills, research skills (ESL)

GSP grade level showcase: project proposals

Charity partners: Start community involvement activities for students and teachers (like going out to visit orphanages, retirement homes, or do community clean ups)

Grade level assemblies:

Tet Shoe box:

Comments: Properly evaluation student progress and behavior

Points: identified behaviors

# data[].attributes.body
o   For students

§  Students were well-oriented and familiar with scientific skills. They can efficiently access reinforcement activities and resources through the MB.

§  (Primary) Organized portfolio for output of learners.

§  (Secondary & HS) More engagement of learners with hands-on laboratory and classroom activities.

o   For subject teachers

§  Collaboration among international science teachers of all levels was evident this year. There is a comprehensive evaluation/discussion of students’ behavior and academic performance which made it easier for teachers to design and plan effective learning activities most of the time.

Suitable pacing for G10 and 11 (Academic English & Exam skills)

Good digital resources for some of the books (Gold Experience, Unlock)

What should be done:

Support for 10 Standard students (some students are far below the expected level to study at SenTia)

Students' enrolment at the right/required level.

More IELTS resources

Re-consider some of the textbooks and levels

Participation and behaviours should be a part of the assessment.

more connection to real world contexts for units (Bright Ideas and Oxford Discover)

manage parents expectations of homework and support for students outside of class

outlets to celebrate (even small, non-academic) achievements

more time for play

adjusting timetables to do less academic heavy subjects later in the afternoon (club time, PE, Music, would be better in the pm, for example)

...for teachers:

volume of marking (Razkids, diary, testing, homework mark, spelling homework, etc)

resources for teaching grammar (better connected to BI and OD content) and writing

more connection between grammar and writing lessons

more specific student outcomes outlined?

What worked well this year:

The series Gold Exp is appropriate for students

Students got more practice in writing/grammar compared to last year

informal projects, presentations, writing tasks

What should be done to improve:

more practice in grammar (selective to grammar in Gold Exp)

review Oxf books & how the program is taught

arrange more time for projects/presentations/debates

be more selective to the learning content >> should not skip any unit as it interrupts the flow

more resources paid by the school

more tablets (now there are 6 for the whole school)

more writing competitions/activities across grades

more time/opportunities to review the tests (before reports)

Class sizes that allow for streaming

MORE TEACHERS or LESS LESSONS PER WEEK
