englishoasis: First In-house training, 14 April 2012

Date: 14 April 2012 (Saturday)
Venue: Meeting Room, SASEM


with students...Pn Ashah in her element...

SASEM had a great LDP today; this being our first for the year. Our guest speaker was none other than Pn Ashah Samah, former director of BPSBPSK. As the coordinator, I had been planning for the in-house since February and I was constantly in touch with Pn Ashah to fix a date as she has a busy schedule. It was great to see her again; the last being 2008 when she evaluated me for my dg52 application. Our guest speaker talked on 'Etika keguruan', 'Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Berkesan' and 'Sistem Fail'. Nothing beats experience as she skillfully delivered lots of meaningful input. The input, I'm confident, will be far-reaching particularly to the young teachers. The most unforgettable part was the analogy of the chicken (Kojar Ayam). Despite having us in stitches, the message was driven home- that teaching is a skill and teachers must master this skill and that learning from experienced teachers is one of the ways. What inspired me most was her energy; she could carry on for three and a half hours!

show em what sbp students can do!

Pn Ashah also gave a two-hour motivational talk for the Form 4's in the hall on Friday night. I hope the students will be inspired to achieve the goal she has set for SASEM which is a GPS of 0.8!! Phew!! What a hill to climb :)

SASEM would like to thank her for her inspiring input and hopes to call her back soon. Many thanks to the LDP committee for a job well-done: Rohasni, Siti Sarah, Mariana, Salwa, Sazali, Muhammed, Aisha, Fariha. A special thanks to Jannah (secretary) for her untiring efforts :)
