Teachers bear the heavy responsibility of molding the minds of our
nation’s most precious resource, its children.
As a future teacher, my goal it will be to establish a classroom that would
be print rich environment that invites the students to learn, a safe place to be, and a place where learning is fun.
As a teacher, I believe it is my moral obligation to bring to the classroom
an open mind, positive attitude and the highest expectations for each and every student. I believe by maximizing the benefits of dedication, perseverance, and hard work, I will inspire and encourage my students to give their best towards education.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
My teaching experience began in June of 2009 when I attended an
interview session for the position of Contract Graduate Teacher, a position offered by the Ministry of Education. I was eager to explore this opportunity and I took up the offer to attend the interview session as I had always been interested in the teaching profession.
I was pleasantly surprised when I received a telephone call only two
weeks after my interview asking me to report for work as a contract teacher at the Taman University Secondary School, or SKTU 1 in short. The school I believe is a prominent primary school situated in Taman University, Skudai here in Johor Bahru. There I was evaluated by the head mistress, Pn. Tumirah and the others teachers as well.
I was based at the school for the next 6 months between
the months of June to December) were I was given the task of teaching Year 1 English, Math, Science, Moral, Music and Art. I was not required to teach all these subjects at the same time but rather in stages. During my tenure at the school I was also elected replacement teacher for Year 1 and 2, replacing teachers who were away on maternity leave. Later I was also granted the opportunity to grade the final year and the PKSR exam papers. As I gained experience and confidence of the senior teacher I was then asked to set exam an papers for a number of subjects such as Moral, Art and Music to name a few.
Being a temporary / contract teacher has allowed me to
gain experience in many areas and has both rewarding as well as educational for me. Through teaching I at the school I was responsible for the student attendance or daily register, disciplinary and attendance records, students report and health cards, the 001 card details and student ranking within a class for the year 2010. I also gained experience dealing with parents to collect the annual school fees. This included learning the art of persuasion when dealing with sometimes difficult or sensitive issues related to the collection of fees. Besides this, I also enjoyed teaching with help of teaching aids provided as an alternative method with the help of information readily available in the resource rooms, libraries, laboratories all within the school grounds. Of course the best experience is the one gained in the class room where interaction with students is always the most precious experience.
At a more professional level I attended most teachers
meetings and contributed ideas on how teachers can improve the learning experience and gain better support and attention for their students.
Teaching has helped shape the way I think and act in
public as well as thought me many of life’s lessons on the importance of education, the availability of resources such as text books for the less fortunate, dealing with all levels of people from difficult students to parents and school staff.
After my contract ended at SKTU , my journey in the teaching line
continued as I was excepted to join a private religious school called Madrasah Tahfiz Al Iman in the same location as SKTU1. At this school I was offered the position of English teacher for a further 6 months. Here as an English teacher I was in charge of guiding UPSR, PMR and SPM students in the English language according to the allocated syllabus. This included both the written and spoken or oral aspect of the subject as preparation for the final examinations.
I was also involved in the co-curriculum activities and served as the
English Club and Society advisor, where I was in charge of the “English corner” project, an idea derived to both beautify the English corner for the school as well as to create awareness on the importance of the language.
- Being a library teacher -
From this I decided to further expand my resume and wanted to
provide an environment where I could learn, improve and educate all in one. I started giving private tuition to all interested students who wanted extra guidance in this subject.
Though I have only had little experience in comparison to my more
senior colleagues, I hope this could be a stepping stone for me to grow as an educator and as a person. I have always believe in the notion no river to wide , no mountain to high and I hope my journey does not end here as I still hunger to absorb so much more from this line of work.
