This happened on a cool Monday, 16 June.



With a total of 16 other teachers, we had our ice breaker activity, followed by a session on Petal framework by a specialist from CPDD.



He guided us on the framework and give us examples on how the framework can be used in the light of teaching Math topics.



I found this approach to be rather relevant and refreshing. A lot of us perhaps have the impression that teaching Math is based on 3 stages:

a. concrete

b. symbolic

c. abstract



However, an effective math teacher goes beyond these basics. from the e.g.s shown to us, I realise effective teaching is more than just delivering. There are a lot of other concerns which could be more important than content teaching.



For instance,

a. questioning techniques

b. anticipation of students' entry point (how much they know abt the topic)

c. customized teaching (for HA/MA/LA learners)

d. types of follow up (remediation activities)



Although the session was rather technical, the specialist provided a great insight on how PETALS work in a classroom setting.

I looked forward to learn more from the experts and equip myself further.

Innocence


Innocence stolen without my permission
Innocence gone without my submission

Innocence lost through another’s plan
Innocence no longer for another man

Innocence turned to hatred and fear
Innocence gone, no man can come near

Innocence taken from a little girl’s heart
Innocence replaced by mistrust, you thought you were smart

Innocence disappears like dew in the sun
Innocence faded before it’s begun

Innocence obscured like a cloud over the moon
Innocence ripped away too soon
