- The dept has started reflection blogs since beginning of this year. During the beginning of the first term, most of the teachers did their blogs for the first few weeks. However, as we approach the end of the term, teachers were required to submit TOS for their Mid Year exam papers and also to get their books/files ready for checking, many of them stopped their reflection blogs. Even after a few reminders, I still did not get all of them on board. It is still the same few who constantly do their reflections every week. I approached one particular teacher to remind her to do but feedback from her was no time.
- Hence, I continued to provide some 15 minutes during staff time for the teachers to do their reflection blog last thursday. As most teachers did not attend the AfL workshop arranged by the school in Term 1, I also hope to help those who did not attend the workshop understand AfL better. Therefore to give teachers some ideas on what to reflect on, I gave them all a theme and reflection assignment to work on. The theme was AfL. Teachers are to read my blog on AfL and write their reflections on whether they have used AfL in their teaching last week or what they have understood from the blog and how they can use AfL in their teaching in the coming week.
- As of today, 5 teachers in the dept have done their reflection on AfL. As for the rest, I am planning to send an email to the rest to inform them that I am expecting their reflections soon. Hope this will help to make them do their reflections soon :)
