Today is much anticipated. I have been
nervous about this teaching practice from early of this semester. After final
examination subject for today, ended at 10.30am, my fellow practical trainee
friends – Hani, Zyah, Maryam and me went straight to our designated school –
SMK Putrajaya Presint 14 (1), Putrajaya.
We
were first greeted by PK Ko-ko. The Head Teacher was not in the office today
and PK Ko-ko said that the school waited for us yesterday as they said we were
supposed to report to school on Monday (16th June, 2014). We told PK
Ko-Ko that we are having final examination in university and that we have a
letter from University of Malaya saying that we are not able to report to
school on certain days during our final examination dates. PK Ko-Ko asked us
what uniform unit we took while we are in university. We said that she could
assign us with any to help the school. We were told that the school now is
occupied by Sports Day that will be held next two weeks.
Afterwards,
we were introduced to our mentor teacher, Madam Hayati. We were briefed about
Form 1 and Form 2 OPS-ENGLISH programme, where students have just finished
their Speaking and Listening 6 months training. Now that the OPS-English is
done, students will learn about normal syllabus. We were told that we will be
teaching Form 1, Form 2 and Form 4. There will be 2 Form 4 classes, and other
classes will be divided to us. We will be given our schedules later that for
this week, which is starting tomorrow, we will be shadowing teachers to
classes, and perhaps will be giving hands to sports day event. I remember PK
KOKO told us that on the 29th August, one week after end of our
training.
Madam
Hayati briefed us about the school like operation hours, that Wednesday is the
uniform unit day and toured us to the school compound and to the other teachers
in teacher’s room. She also had small talks with us and gave some insights
about the teaching world – sharing her experiences being a teacher and teacher’s
trainee.
Basically,
though that I’m nervous to do the practical here, I am excited too because this
can be said as a new experience for me. My journals here in this blog – I don’t
care much about my language structure and all (well, perhaps will do proof-readings
later), I’m focusing keying-in my daily experiences in school being the teacher’s
trainee – besides, I need to do other
things that requires quite a lot of time too.
Project to do: (1) Beautify English language corner at MBMMBI section.
(2)
We have not yet meet with the Principle, perhaps we will be assign a project to
do by the Principle – like previous teacher’s trainees, they were assigned to
do ‘Kajian Tindakan’.
