it's that time again

Assalammualaikum and a good day to all....

It's that time again where teacher trainees are sent to schools to undergo teaching practice. .otherwise known as practicum.  Those from IPGKI are not exempted.  They'll be reporting to the schools' administrators next week, 2nd February . 4 trainees are entrusted to my care . When i look at them, i see myself 20 over years ago... treading on the same path that they are now ...unsure of what the school would be like. ..

Well... whatever it is, you have made it THIS far ... Be strong and confident . Just enjoy your practicum.  Don't overdo yourselves. Make sure you do your work and be proud of it . I can only guide you using my years of experience .

Trainees ......please keep these in mind ...

1. Lesson plan
    Make sure your lesson plans are up to date . Don't go into a class without one... unless you're relieving
    other teachers.

2. Teaching hours 
    When you are given your teaching time tables , it is important that you DON'T complain ...you're there to
    EXPERIENCE school in real life . Consider yourselves lucky to receive 7 -10 periods of teaching a
    week...... an ordinary teacher gets at least 24 periods of teaching  a week.

3. School politics
    Most importantly, DO NOT go into the politics of the school that you are in . You are still a trainee . You
    are PLACED there to LEARN...not POSTED there to WORK. So, please act like a student.

4.Canteen
   The canteen is NOT a place for you to 'hang out' . It is a place for you to eat and drink . Do not waste
   your time at the canteen . It will leave a bad impression on us . 

5.Mingle
   Please make it a point to mingle around with other teachers .... no man is an island .... so , DON'T BE
   ONE !!!!!! 

6. Clothes
    If you are teaching Pendidikan Jasmani ( Physical Education ) , please change your clothes ...do not go the field in your leather shoes and neckties . It is a violation to the ministry's dress code . 

These are the ones that we always overlook .... do your best to be well aware of them ...ok guys.... best of luck . Don't do things that i wouldn't do...
