Updates from Coffee Talk 0505

Hi everyone,

Firstly let me welcome back Jaz to the team. Nice to have you back :)

Also, I'd like to thank Azlan for last week's Humanities Times and Ashley for this week's Humanities Times. Think it's been progressing well thus far. Thanks a lot guys.

We covered the folowing points in our Coffee Talk this week:
1. Homework must be given to pupils at the end of each lesson. This homework must be recorded in the pupils handbook. Also, it is to be reflected in our reflection that we submit via the Professional Devt File.

2. Pupils should be in proper school attire when they come to school - be it Saturdays or weekdays. They can be in a school-based t-shirt. Shorts should be the school shorts. If in doubt, they should wear the school skirt/pants.

3. We also mentioned about the things to do for pupils should they not do well for the examination.

4. Ashley went through the Major Project 2 for the Sec 1s. If in doubt, please go to her for clarification.

5. We also discussed things to tell the pupils when they are preparing to sit for the CH examination through the Humanities times. Please go through with the pupils during your lessons.

6. I have updated the following ESSS as our department submission: Implementing of Humanities Times for Reflection, Peer observation form for Humanities Department, Using a booking booklet for efficient utilisation of department laptop, development of huamntieis teacehrs portfolio and 5 minutes preparation to 50 minutes successful lesson. So... we have 5 ESSS submissions as a separtment thus far.

Have a good week ahead.
