Termly AAR on programmes to acknowledge Voice.

KP support [within TfLC] for officers who need more support in their work.

We got the FTs to share their class's TLC practices on padlet. During YH meeting, we got each class FTs to share with the level colleagues on their TLC practices and how they carry it out. This helps to promote learning. Teachers can learn from each other and apply it with their class.

During YH meeting, we let teachers to voice out the challenges they face with the students and we discuss and help one another.

Through GPS, it promotes learning among the level teachers.

During TTT or informal time, we do share with each other what we done in our class, eg, how we teach the chapter. This help us to learn from one another and benefiting our students.

Giving Teachers a Voice during dept meetings and discussions

• During meetings, teachers share in small groups, the Team IC will get to share the team's effort

• listen to their ideas and understand the reasons behind them

Recognising Everyone’s Efforts

• I acknowledge the work of team leaders and members

• I highlight and appreciate new ideas or efforts to try something different

• When they are appreciated, they feel safe to share.

Encouraging Innovation/Creating Platforms for Sharing

• I tell my team “the sky is the limit” when working on projects

• I support teachers who want to try new methods, even if it’s different from what we’ve done before.

• Their ideas are valued and often lead to improvements

Supporting Teacher

• Teachers are given the chance to lead projects

• They take ownership while I guide and support when needed

• Make a point to assure teachers that when I ask questions is not that I doubt them, but it is understanding, clarifying and thinking together. (knowing that sometimes some teachers might feel doubted when KPs asks questions.)

Using Reflections to Improve

• After Action Reviews (AARs) are used to learn and plan better ways forward

• We focus not just on what happened, but how we can do better and what are the areas to celebrate! (Builds trust)

Modelling Listening and Support

• I show that I value every idea by listening carefully

• Teachers feel safe to share and try new things

In SDWB, every year before assigning work, I will always get the teachers to share their preferred work assignments for the department and will allocate work accordingly based on preferred choice and officers' strengths. Some negotiation and conversation is always set in place if work is assigned that is not the preference of an officer.

During review sessions, all department members are given a voice to share feedback. Intentional efforts are also made to bring in voices during the facilitation process when a person has not spoken. All suggestions are welcome and acted upon.

Constant affirmation is given to officers who go out of their comfort zone and go the extra mile to promote department outcomes through the whatsapp chat.

IP Heads role model the proper behaviour and practices in terms of Voice, Learning and Innovation!

Provide listening ears and receptive to experimentation and new ideas. Door always open for discussion.

Use platforms like TTTs / Department meetings to gather feedback and actions are always taken after feedback. Hence, more ideas are gathered and feedback follows! It's a cycle.
