Last 25 until 27 of April 2013, I attended a TOT programme which easily refer to Program Pembangunan Guru Baharu (PPGB)...I was felt very lucky to be selected as one out of 100 participant to attend that programme.
What it is?
It is a programme which developed for a new teacher which prepare and provide them to face the challenges or problems in school. This programme also helps the new teacher to adapt with the new environment by preparing them with some guidelines and task to do during school for a period of time. Instead of that, every new teacher also will be provided with a senior/experience or expertise teacher as their mentor. In other word, it is a mentor - mentee programme. This programme was carefully design in order to achieve its goal or objectives.
My Perspective...
It is a good programme for a new teacher like me. During that programme, I felt more confident to be an educator and I start to learn well on what should I do in school. How I do a programme and etc. At first, I admitted it was quite tough and hard. But we have to start to learn it step by step until we achieve our goals and master some skills well...Yeah, I also keep reminding me myself that a process of learning is a continuous process. So, we have to be patience. In everything we did, PATIENCE was an important element to be practiced by an educator instead of hardworking and etc.
To summarize, the activity such as sharing of experiences, guiding, group discussion and presentation during that 3 days programme had taught me a lot of new perspective of conducting activity, class and etc with a hope of improving our education quality. I do believe that a good quality of education can be provided and achievable if everyone plays their role at the optimum level.
