Professional Development Resources

Dear Teachers of GMS(P)

The Professional Development Team (PDT) comprising our Teacher Leaders and SSD, has created this Google Site to curate and store materials that will help us in our work.  It serves as a One-Stop portal for staff to easily look for T&L materials and resources when we need them.

It will be a work in progress site and if you have any suggestions for improvement to it, please do let us know.

Meanwhile, if you have any T&L resources or materials for sharing with staff,  please do email us at Lua_Ee_Ping@moe.edu.sg and tan_liang_ling_sarah-ann@moe.edu.sg

Meanwhile, we hope that the quote below, from the book "Leadership for Learning - How To Help Teachers Succeed" by Carl D. Glickman, will inspire us to be a better teacher today, as compared to yesterday.

Warm regards,

PDT Team

If, as a teacher,

• I present the same lessons in the same manner that I have used in the past;

• I seek no feedback from my students;

• I do not analyse and evaluate their work in a manner that changes my own emphasis, repertoire, and timing;

• I do not visit or observe other teachers as they teach;

• I do not share the work of my students with colleagues for feedback, suggestions, and critiques;

• I do not visit other schools or attend particular workshops or seminars or read professional literature on aspects of my teaching;

• I do not welcome visitors with experience and expertise to observe and provide feedback to me of my classroom practice;

• I have no yearly individualized professional development plan focused on classroom changes to improve student learning; and finally,

• I have no systemic evaluation of my teaching tied to individual, grade/department, and school wide goals,

Then

I have absolutely no way to

become better as a teacher.
