Keeping Kids Creative

Dear Readers,

We have all heard the buzzwords of the knowledge-based economy - creative, innovative, resourceful.We are told that our students will need these abilities, not just facts and figures, to thrive in the workplace of the future. And we,their teachers, need to equip them through creative teaching. Hence, here I try to unravel the nuts and bolts behind these ideas, to find out what creative teaching is all about and how it can be implemented in the classroom.

Join Me and I will appreciate it very much if you sign in my guestbook and leave your comments.

REPORT ON TLC 4


THE REPORT :
Date : 5th August 2009
Day : Wednesday
Venue : CCL Room, SK Batu Pekaka
Agenda : TLC 4

Today, two TLC members were absent : Puan Rohani and Mr Rozalee. They were involved with a short-noticed meeting for the senior assistants of their respective schools. The TLC meeting was carried out as usual even with the absence of the two members.

The activities done :
1. Discussions on the CCL lessons in schools and the updates of their portfolios and the pupils'
portfolios as well.
2. Their own journal entries
3. Planning to conduct a follow-up course on CCL to the other English teachers in the district.
This is to enable the TLC group members to share their experiences and information gained
when they attended the CLiPS course conducted by the JPN on 28th - 30th June 2009.
4.Sharing of activities done in their own schools eg : short sketches, choral reading, scrapbooks.

Even though the progress of the CCL lessons in the schools are rather slow, given time and support, I believe they will be able to come up with more interesting literature lessons in the near future. Thus, more moral support and encouragement should be given to these group of teachers so that the project-based literature lessons could be a reality.

To my TLC group members :
a million of thanks, appreciations and congratulations on the excellent work done and the collaborative-team work shown during the TLCs sessions. Hope this sharing sessions will be continued for a longer period.

Your TF :
