Updates, updates.

[ K2 madness ]

Yes. Now I know why one of my colleague threatened to leave and left my work place.

She just joined last year and she was thrown into a K2 class. No, make that two K2 classes. Cos' that's what we teachers at our work place got to do. We have two classes.

For me, taking two classes was a challenge at first cos' I am used to the childcare setting, where I only take one class.

Anyway, I adapted to it cos' luckily, I started from nursery.

Nursery was challenging only for the new children who cried. Once they were settled down, nursery is quite ok...

In comparison with K2. I never seem to finish my marking. No matter how much marking I finish today, tomorrow there will be new stacks of marking awaiting you.

Cos' the children at my work place do tons of work at K2. Honestly, I feel it only benefits the children who learn things quickly.

Then, there are the many big stage boards that we have to do and change and do and change.

And on top of that, the usual classroom boards also needed to be change, practice for performances end of term, outings, etc, etc...and K2 concert practice just started. I guess the full blown madness has not yet reached me.

But before I worry about that, I have one more important thing I have to worry about.

MOE.

Yeah. They are coming down to my school. It has to do with their accreditation programme. From what I have read from my booklet so far, it works something like ISO?

You know how our government likes to rate things? Yeah, apparently, kindergartens are getting their ratings too.

Apparently, some of our school teachers(most senior ones) have to rate ourselves first. Then after we send it in, MOE will come down to observe whether we are as good as we rate ourselves to be. The final step is after the visit, MOE will then rate us accordingly, if we are really good, we will get the best rating...A1 or something.

They will do two things during their visit: Observation of one selected class(by the principal) and Interview(of the chosen 2-3 teachers by the principal)

Funny thing is, I wasn't one of the teachers who rate our school. I seriously have no idea what is going on.

But I was chosen for both the observation and interview.

My lucky class got chosen for observation, and naturally I am chosen for interview as well.

I heard there will be three MOE inspectors following me around to observe how I teach and manage the children, AND after that I will be interviewed by them personally about everything from school motto, vision, planning of curriculum to.....I don't know? hygiene of the school??

So no big deal. Right. I am strung up like hell.

I tried to look at this positively, like perhaps my boss likes my teaching very much or perhaps I am such a good teacher....

Honestly, I am a simple-minded person. I don't like attention at all, especially whether or not boss thinks highly of me etc...I really like to mind my own business. I really don't like the idea of such a huge important responsibility to be placed on me...

Cos' honestly, I don't feel I am good. I mean, this is the rating of our school you know? What if I fail? Like if I do not conduct a good lesson....I mean honestly, I didn't do very well for my field practicum you know...

And there are so many better teachers than me....Jenny is very good you know? She should have gotten both the interview and observation instead of only the interview.

I should really try to look at this positively before I get a nervous breakdown. And you know how unpredictable children can be. If they are really rowdy that day....if my lesson goes wrong...if the lesson is not what the MOE wants...etc, etc...these are just some of the things I am worried about.

Now you guys should roughly know why I haven't been blogging? Cos' I have been so busy at work...when I reach home all I want to do is sleep and laze around.

Gah! I have to stop worrying!!

Wish me luck!! It will happen at the end of April....*keeping fingers cross*
