1. your growth over the last few months/year,

2. the goals you would like to pursue in 2025 according to Pedagogical Leader, Mentor and Collaborator (PLMC) to impact change,

3. an obstacle that you might foresee facing,

Share two areas of focus/interests you would like to collaborate on in 2025.

Purposeful integration of 21st CC in the teaching of our chemistry syllabus and how can we assess these skills in our students? (Referring to the developmental milestones)

These lenses are: (1) autobiographical lens, (2) students’ eyes, (3) colleagues’ perspective, and (4) research lens

Leverage on technology (e.g. AI) for more effective and efficient T&L

By being a reflective practitioner, I will be more aware of creating opportunities (a push factor!) and thus seeking professional growth. The 'push' comes from self reflections, students' feedback, peer's feedback, readings- these feedback will be used as self reflection which will enable me gain different perspectives regarding my current practice, to get me asking questions and acting towards improvement.

Rubrics/checklists etc for teachers to assess students or for students to self-assess independently, if they have acquired this skill.

1. How has the network supported your learning and growth?

2. What changes could be made to enhance its benefits even further?

To enhance our network learning even further, maybe we could do a combined sharing in the future! There is a lot of commonality across all our projects and perhaps we could observe each others' lessons?

This 2hr long session open up new ideas and perspectives which prompted me to reflect on my own blind spots. I found the work presented by each and every LTs truly inspiring. It showcases not only the possibilities of technology but also ways in strengthening 21CC development, areas where I am still exploring and making sense of. To name a few examples: the student-led workflow, which promotes student agency; a literature review on adaptive thinking; and the diverse array of AI tools shared, such as Twinery for storyboarding.

I came across a saying that has stuck with me: Teaching and Learning is by design not by default. Effective teaching doesn’t happen by chance. It requires thoughtful planning, purposeful strategies and a clear vision for student outcomes. And I see that from all the presentation in this session. Thank you all!

What stands out most in this journey is the unique yet cohesive teamwork that Audrey, Wen Yi, and I share. There is always something new I learn in our meetings and discussions. While we each maintain our own distinct teaching styles and approaches to integrating AI tools, we have successfully converged towards a common focus.

Question 2:

I would like to suggest incorporating poster presentations in breakout rooms, where we can engage in deeper discussions through Q&A. This format would allow for a more focused exploration of the work presented while giving us the opportunity to ask specific questions and gain greater insights. It could also help streamline the session, keeping it more succinct, interactive, and engaging for all of us.

Bonus:

Most importantly, a BIG thank you to all the MTTs – Siew Lee, Ai Lian and Dr. Shahrin for sitting through all our presentations and giving us your valuable feedback and words of wisdom. A BIG appreciation to Audrey for coordinating this NLC sessions and taking care of us to ensure we are on track.

As we look ahead, I suggest that this year be dedicated to exploring the affordances of SLS ShortAnsFA in our work. By considering the insights and suggestions from the NLC and MTTs, we can refine our approaches and set for implementation next year for deeper learning.

Working with Julie on the adaptive thinking segment gave me a deeper appreciation for our varied perspectives and approaches to the topic. I felt comfortable sharing my knowledge on adaptive learning, and I am grateful to everyone for their openness and for encouraging thoughtful discussions on strategies to diversify our classroom teaching methods. This session highlighted just how much I have to learn about the possibilities of AI in education. Thank you all for creating such an enriching learning environment.

Looking ahead, I believe there’s significant potential to explore additional AI platforms that could enhance our chemistry teaching methods. I’m particularly interested in learning more about personalized learning through AI and in collaborating with fellow lead teachers to examine how AI can make an impact in the classroom. Building on our discussions around adaptive thinking, I think there’s an exciting opportunity to merge AI with adaptive strategies, creating a more focused approach to deepen student engagement and support collaborative, meaningful learning.

Thank you to all and also our MTTs for making time to join us to enrich our learning through sharing of their perspectives on our projects. The support shows that we are together as one to make classroom teaching better. Cheers!

PS: Can we share our abridged slides to that we can delve deeper offline during our own reflection moments?

The sharing on adaptive thinking has deepened my understanding of both inventive and adaptive thinking, which will be valuable as I continue exploring the implementation and assessment of e21CC skills in science and ALP at my school. I hope to continue leveraging this network to exchange ideas—not only on activities that enhance e21CC skills but also on strategies that encourage students to self-assess and reflect throughout the process.

I’m inspired by the sharing on using SLS SAFA and am eager to master the co-pilot function within SLS SAFA as well. Feedback can be delivered through AI tools like the SLS Self-Assessment Feedback Assistant (SAFA) or ChatGPT, or by using answer schemes or rubrics provided by teachers. Students are encouraged to identify which aspects of the feedback resonate most with them and pinpoint areas for improvement. This sharing motivated me to collaborate with a colleague skilled in AI, and together, we’ve created a chatbot to facilitate self-directed learning for staff on two key definitions for our upcoming training on assessment literacy. You can explore it here: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-L0rW8fq0H-zss-assessment-literacy-buddy.

I think this network's current format is great as it is.

Lastly, thank you to Audrey for her leadership and to all the MTTs for their valuable advice!!
