https://padlet.com/sg_pesta/at702xazwi81vt1e What are some of your experiences when you design PD for your department to make it relevant to their needs? en-us 2021-10-14 06:52:54 UTC 2025-04-24 07:17:43 UTC hello@padlet.com moe_38827j https://padlet.com/sg_pesta/at702xazwi81vt1e/wish/1829632179 The discussion will be richer if the approach is for the department to immediately apply and discuss on how to improve as we go along.]]> 2021-10-20 07:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sg_pesta/at702xazwi81vt1e/wish/1829632179 https://padlet.com/sg_pesta/at702xazwi81vt1e/wish/1829633456 PE Dept PD is an on-going dialogue with colleagues, to identify the varied needs and various considerations when planning PD for the dept:
1. Closing gaps in terms of student's learning.
2. Relevance to school and dept's needs 
3. Individual staff's learning needs ]]> 2021-10-20 07:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sg_pesta/at702xazwi81vt1e/wish/1829633456 https://padlet.com/sg_pesta/at702xazwi81vt1e/wish/1829638091 Our PD Comm led by the various STs are quite robust. We have termly PD session for the various areas eg SEN, E pedagogy, DI etc. So, the dept would leverage on that and incorporate it in our curriculum where relevant, not compromising the physical bit. We also leverage on the staff to share  good practices, especially if they are 'specialised' in specific games. When any of us go for courses, we share it with the department. Our PD, runs both formally and informally and  on-going.

Then deploying them to look after that particular area to work on. Allow for autonomy and creativity to explore. 

Dept and School Direction will be ideal if it can be merge. For example, EPed as a school PD direction to be infuse into the various unit. So for the officer thinking of exploring OE, can the officer be tasked to explore EPed in OE as well.

Can also do that as PLT in teams where they design together task and lessons that can be used immediately across classes.

But if my team sees the gap and the need for it, we often have sharing within the team instead. ]]> 2021-10-20 07:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sg_pesta/at702xazwi81vt1e/wish/1829641202 wilfred_yan https://padlet.com/sg_pesta/at702xazwi81vt1e/wish/1829644908 During our work review sessions, we make time to discuss the learning needs and aspirations of the officer, and we look out for relevant PD opportunities that are aligned to the identified areas of priority.

Throughout the year, we make time for department members to share their knowledge / teaching approaches learned through their own reading or courses attended .

Besides PLT, we have informal lesson observations (open classroom approach) for our colleagues to learn from each other if we need ideas on how to improve.

It is an-ongoing process when the department update one another our progress and share good practices/resources of the lessons carried out. We managed to meet up much more these 2 years, thanks to the cancellation of NSG and various school PE -organised events to focus more on dept PD
