Now I realise that it is alright to accept their interpretations and we as Teachers have the responsibility to reframe their thinking Whenever necessary. ]]> 2016-06-23 04:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294417 I used to think one question only one correct answer but mow I realised there may have many correct answers  https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294452 2016-06-23 04:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294452 https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294454 I used to think teaching is education. Now I realised facilitating learning is education. ]]> 2016-06-23 04:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294454 I used to think that Co-operative Learning is just another strategy to engage students' learning. Now I realised that it is an EFA tool.  https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294554 2016-06-23 05:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294554 I used to think that teaching was easy. https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294581 Now i know that teaching involves so much effort and strategies to make it happen for the kids.]]> 2016-06-23 05:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294581 I used to think that  either the student learns or does not learn. Met an ex-Northlander recently, realised that the student always learns. The million dollar question is, "What did he learn?" tam_moo_yeow https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294924 2016-06-23 05:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115294924 https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115295477 I used to think that the different key programmes serve different purposes to help the child grow. 

Now I think that all key programmes are based on the 4 strategic focuses and they are all interlinked and integrated to provide a strong support for the child's healthy development and growth.

Now I think that being a great teacher involves the willingness and drive. Mindfulness is very important during this process so we know what we are doing well and what needs to be improved so we constantly grow as a teacher. The most amazing thing about a teacher is that teaching and learning happens simultaneously. ]]> 2016-06-23 07:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/115299649 chicken rice lee_kai_cheng https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/372352999 2019-07-26 04:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sitiardah/st1/wish/372352999
