... AND THE TRAINING CONTINUED

25th MAY 2015 ~ There was  continuation to the state level training attended about a fortnight ago in Pasir Gudang. This time it was held in SMK Seri Tanjung, Benut, Pontian, which was about an hour's drive from home.

There is going to be one more session on Wednesday with a different group at district level.Just hope it will end early.

THE SECOND IN-SERVICE TRAINING SESSION FOR TEACHERS THIS YEAR

5th April 2014 ~ The second in-service training for the academic staff of SMK Taman Universiti was held today at our favourite spot, CTL Lecture Hall in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

The topic chosen for today's half a day course was Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 ["Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia"]. The guest speaker was Dr. Hayati Ismail from PADU and she is also my ex-coursemate from Universiti Pertanian Malaysia.

 

 

I must say the session was a very successful one. Not only the participants understood the topic better but they also enjoyed the presentation which was lively and humourous throughout.

Thanks a lot to Dr. Hayati who had come all the way from KL to impart and share the knowledge. And I am sure you will be remembered by my friends here.

16th MAY IS HERE AGAIN!

Happy 16th teacher's day to me and to other teachers out there. Thank you to the short messaging service, messages started coming in as early as yesterday. As I have nothing much to do, I am now making a statistical analysis of the teacher's day messages I received this year, so as to make my blog sound more scientific.

• messages sent by ex-students: 22
• messages sent by students: 11
• messages sent by teachers: 12
• messages sent by others: 2
  

The conclusion that can be drawn here is: (1) You are appreciated more by your ex-es. That is life. Don't people say they appreciate things more when they are gone? (2) Teachers need to send greetings to each other more because who else will appreciate you other than the people who understand you. (3) Other people just don't give a damn. By the way, I don't send teacher's day messages, I just replied to all the messages received from people I know. Messages from unidentified sources are not analyzed so as to make the result of this study more valid. In other words, I am famous.
While other teachers were enjoying themselves at home or somewhere else, my friends and I were stuck in UTM enjoying ourselves in a training session held by the school. Happy teacher's day again, especially to my friends of the dying breed.
