I'm very humbled and grateful for the companionship and the listening ear and shoulder to cry on this year. It's been a v tough year to get through, and I would not have survived had it not been for you guys. Thank you so much!

# data[].attributes.body
Tried to give students more ownership and responsibility over their own studies so I've more time to myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to deliberately give students more thinking time in class. Not always successful but it's a start. :)

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks all for 2021! The dept has a strong culture of positivity and cooperation that really made the year much easier!

# data[].attributes.body
My classes/students this year were really nice and very cooperative. Their participation in lessons helped me learn more in GP and beyond

# data[].attributes.body
Think my highlight really was the Woke Corner I tried which failed terribly...and the Annual...very exciting to plan the changes to old things and seeing the new materialise and happen. I am truly humbled by the support I got from friends here.

# data[].attributes.body
December bonus to pay for my extra expenses, e.g. insurance premiums 😊✌️

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to be more understanding of my students' low self-esteem (while trying to talk them out of it without lying) :0

# data[].attributes.body
I was extremely patient and understanding with the 'eccentricities' and shenanigans of my form class, and I trusted that they would realise the importance of studying somewhere along the line. I think it paid dividends, somewhat, as their behavior gradually toned down and they started to settle down to really focus on their studies. Though I wish quite a number of them would have started much earlier, but I'm thankful that they eventually got started.

# data[].attributes.body
More scaffolding of skills. Students could learn the skills better, eg close reading

# data[].attributes.body
I fine-tuned the way I marked to reflect more holistic comments rather than nit-picking on the (many) errors one by one heh

# data[].attributes.body
I created my own brand of magic in GP this year. It was really fun, and very satisfying to walk out of a tutorial feeling a lot more energized

Content research projects and the writing of balancing paras used to be things I do only in J2 but I decided to try this year in J1 with mixed successes.

Continue to work happily, be cooperative and just being nice to one another. Unlike for the first numerous years when u first joined the Dept, our current situation is excellent! 💜🎊💐😁🎂

# data[].attributes.body
I gave them more autonomy and tried to establish a community of learners in the classroom more intentionally.

# data[].attributes.body
Loved my form class 💜

# data[].attributes.body
Being supported in work and beyond, especially through challenges. I also appreciate the inputs on new teaching ideas and how to enact these in class=)

# data[].attributes.body
Not being cheesy when I say I did learn a lot from them (-: They were both encouragements and such positive examples of learning.

Thankful to my dear colleagues [Hsiao Yien]

I'm really thankful to the J2 team for all your support, patience and encouragement. Thank you, guys! :)

Tried Differentiated Product. Allowing students to choose how to express their own learning (CA-R / argument reconciliation) actually yielded some very interesting submissions that displayed a good understanding of the clash of ideas!

# data[].attributes.body
Being part of the English Dept 💜

# data[].attributes.body
Tried to have students take more ownership over assessing their work and to encourage metacognition. I realise most of them can actually identify most of their their own AFIs. I’m trying to build up their confidence in this area. I try to emphasise that relying purely on my feedback actually holds all of us back.

# data[].attributes.body
Be more chill and relax 😅

Our colleagues and more specifically, all of you Eng Dept peeps who make work less of a chore!

The opportunity to present at IPSG - It was quite intimidating (for me) but I got to work with really knowledgeable teachers from other schools and I learnt a lot from preparing that presentation... and actually apply it in my classes! ;)

Very thankful for the great support and care from everyone. We treat each other not just as colleagues but as people and friends. I am infinitely grateful for how forgiving everyone has been!
