Teachers in the PasirMas-KB cluster got a chance to show what they know at our recent and final teacher professional development (TPD) session of the year.
Teachers were split into small groups of four and had to work together as a group to complete various teacher challenges, each group was competing against the others, fighting to see who would come out on top.
Challenges included phonics instruction, where teachers were given random vocabulary words and had to create a lesson plan on the fly to teach the new words to year two "mock" students (me, Dontaye and Philip among others were the "mock" students....lol); other challenges included phonetic transcription, vocabulary word forms and a sound recognition basket ball game.
After each activity the mentees reflected and thought of ways to adapt each activity to their English classrooms. Teachers were undoubtedly caught off guard by the unorthodox challenges, but they definitely held their own and impressed me quite a few times! Awesome job ladies and gentlemen!
