Teacher's Workshop

Hihi! Long time "no blog". Sometimes, I am a little lazy to blog. I would think of what I wanted to say in the blog while I was driving. Usually, I have more "thoughts" when I am driving than other times. I guess there isn't anything to do when I drive, so my mind will start to "process" other things in my head.

11 February

I went to Marsiling Primary School to attend a teacher's workshop on the first day of school after the lunar new year. It has been quite some time since I last attended any teacher's workshop. Anyway, the workshop lecturer was my former lecturer cum tutor, Dr Yeap. I still enjoyed his lesson very much. It was not my first time attending his workshop though. Every time I attend his workshop, I will bring back something - something that I learned. He will always give something new to me in every workshop.

He showed us a new perspective of looking at the way questions were phrased in the textbook and the workbook. He also told us some of the limited information given in the teacher's guide, which most teachers diligently follow. That day's focus was on Thinking Skills. I think the textbook publishers should include more explanation on the thinking skills part, so that teachers can further extend the concepts.

I think I will be attend more of his workshops this year! :)
