The MOU between SK Gual To'Deh and SK Kedai Tanjong

Today, a benchmark visit was made to SK Kedai Tanjong. A school known as the Malaysia Ministry of Education introduced TS25. This visit involved the headmaster and some TS25 SK Gual To'Deh implementation committee teachers. It was the first visit since the arrival of the new headmaster, Encik Bakri Bin Md Nor. Click the MOU here.

SK Gual To'Deh implemented TS25 for cohort 7. The Headmaster has been keen to make 'touch rugby' the ethos of this school. Therefore, he suggested that TS25 implementers visit some schools that have successfully implemented TS25. Among the successful schools is SK Kedai Tanjong. This school is not only famous in the state of Kelantan, but it is also renowned throughout Malaysia for successfully implementing SEGAK.

Something that caught my attention was the role of the students in this school. They are taught to communicate with visitors who come. They conducted an introductory session about SEGAK. They are also able to answer questions asked by visitors. This is a beneficial exposure for them so that they are more open and able to compete in the future.

During this visit, the MOU was also made, a cooperative relationship between SK Gual To'Deh and SK Kedai Tanjong. Thank you also for accepting our visit to your school.

A Teacher: Illuminating the Formation of Future Generation

Hi everyone. Glad to see you again. Today, I woke up early in the morning, and I had an idea to write about this topic. Here, let's see what we can read and increase our knowledge related to the topic. 

In the education landscape, a teacher's role is inseparable from the significant influence and contribution in shaping the future generation. A teacher is not merely a disseminator of knowledge but also a leader, supporter, and motivator of students. In this essay, we will examine the role of a teacher in societal development and the essential characteristics of an effective teacher.

First and foremost, the role of a teacher cannot be denied in laying the foundation of a nation's education. Teachers are the primary agents in delivering the curriculum to students and equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed. With proper exposure and effective delivery, a teacher can stimulate students' interest in learning, build a strong foundation in various fields, and foster holistic intellectual development. A teacher also instills good values and ethics among students, shaping them into responsible and ethical individuals.

Furthermore, a teacher also serves as a model and mentor to students. With exemplary attitudes and behaviors, a teacher plays a crucial role in shaping students' personalities and fostering positive attitudes. They become examples to follow and inspire students to build values such as cooperation, perseverance, and honesty. Additionally, a teacher serves as a source of motivation and support to students, helping them overcome challenges and develop self-confidence to achieve their goals in education and life.

To enhance a teacher's effectiveness, embracing diversity and inclusivity in the classroom is imperative. An effective teacher recognizes the importance of diversity and creates an environment where students from various backgrounds feel valued and respected. By incorporating multicultural perspectives into their teaching, teachers foster empathy and understanding among students, preparing them to thrive in a globalized world.

Moreover, an effective teacher encourages critical thinking and creativity among students. They design engaging lessons that challenge students to critically question, analyze, and evaluate information. By fostering a culture of inquiry and exploration, teachers empower students to think independently, solve problems creatively, and adapt to new situations effectively.

In the digital age, technology has become an indispensable tool in education. Effective teachers leverage technology to enhance the learning experience and cater to diverse learning styles. They integrate interactive multimedia resources, online collaboration tools, and educational apps into their lessons to make learning more engaging and accessible.

Furthermore, an effective teacher prioritizes the social and emotional well-being of students. They create a supportive classroom environment where students feel safe to express themselves, share their thoughts and feelings, and build meaningful relationships with peers. By teaching social and emotional skills such as empathy, resilience, and conflict resolution, teachers equip students with the tools to navigate interpersonal relationships and manage their emotions effectively.

Finally, an effective teacher instills a love for learning in students and cultivates lifelong learning habits. They nurture curiosity, enthusiasm, and a growth mindset, encouraging students to embrace challenges and view failures as opportunities for growth. By modeling a passion for learning and demonstrating the value of continuous self-improvement, teachers inspire students to become self-directed learners eager to explore new ideas, pursue their interests, and contribute meaningfully to society throughout their lives.

In conclusion, the role of a teacher in shaping the future generation is crucial and undeniable. By understanding their roles as leaders, supporters, and motivators of students, teachers can significantly contribute to shaping an educated, responsible, and ethical society. Therefore, it is essential to provide adequate support and resources to teachers and recognize the value and importance of their roles in educational and societal development.

In June 2022, he attended the gathering of the Teacher Education Institute after completing the Optional Intervention Program (PITO) course in English. He was awarded an Advanced Degree. Immersed in full-time PhD research, he passionately explores the depths of education.

Later, he moved to Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Perah for almost ten years, significantly impacting the students there.

In 2012, he moved to Sekolah Kebangsaan Rantau Panjang, and his latest school is Sekolah Kebangsaan Gual To'Deh. As a non-optional English teacher for more than two decades, his teaching ability has been the central pillar in strengthening the quality of education in the schools he serves.

Nevertheless, the spirit of learning and always looking for improvement became his inspiration. he followed a 1-year course called Tesl's Optional Intervention Program (PITO) and successfully improved his skills and competence in teaching English.

As a teacher, he has highlighted his ability to manage and lead initiatives to improve teaching and learning quality. He is not only actively involved in the critical administration and management of the school but also focuses on direct teaching in the classroom. By conducting classes in unique rooms, namely the Self-Access Learning (SAL) room and the 21st-century room, he has allowed students to engage in a more comprehensive and up-to-date learning experience.

This step reflects the effectiveness of his holistic and future-oriented learning strategy. He focuses on academic aspects and developing generic skills and critical thinking abilities among students. He actively disseminates information about school activities through a blog reflecting his enthusiasm to expand education's influence beyond the school walls. By providing the platform, he has allowed parents, students, and the local community to participate actively in the school's development and achievements.

In addition, his efforts in producing education-related articles, especially at Sekolah Kebangsaan Gual To'Deh, are another example of his earnestness in sharing experience and knowledge with the broader education community.

Through this initiative, he has contributed to efforts to help flood victims by providing practical assistance and moral support.

When the flood disaster struck, he and Hannan's NGO team went to the field to help clean the houses of flood victims and assist in the form of donations of food and other necessities. This effort provides immediate assistance to those affected and gives them hope and support in facing the challenges faced. This charitable endeavor shows his willingness to help others in difficult times.

From my early days as a novice teacher to my current position as an experienced educator, I've learned so much about the power of education to transform lives. Through my years of experience, I've come to understand that education is not just about imparting knowledge, but also about building relationships, fostering critical thinking, and inspiring creativity. As an educator, I believe that it's my responsibility to create an environment where students feel safe, valued, and empowered to learn. My journey has taught me that every student is unique, and that a one-size-fits-all approach to education simply doesn't work. Instead, I strive to create personalized learning experiences that meet the individual needs of each student. While my journey as an educator has had its ups and downs, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Seeing the impact that I've had on my students' lives, and knowing that I've helped them to reach their full potential, is the greatest reward I could ever hope for.My journey as an educator
