I find some contradictions in what you have written. You mentioned that you are one of the golden officers in the school and your bosses have given you many chances to excel, but at the same time, you are not being groomed?
Giving you the added responsibilities and opportunities to head a project is all part of grooming you. How do you make use of such opportunities to shine and showcase your talents and abilities?
Yes, showing your face to your SLs and making them know about your contributions is one thing. Another is how you value add to the projects which have been assigned to you? Have you done the project differently from how it was done before - have you shown any new initiative which in the end benefits the school in some way or another? It is also about taking the initiative to implement something new and making sure it works - showing initiative and taking calculated risks are two elements of leadership qualities which the school looks out for. Also your ability to speak up for what you are passionate about and making changes, instead of just doing things the same (and safe) way all the time.
Besides that, you must consider the impact of your actions. You mentioned that you are good in classroom management and with your students - but sadly, these will only impact the students in your class. To move up to GEO4, you need to show that your actions/initiatives can impact those beyond your classroom - maybe you will need to see how you can implement something which can benefit the level.
Hope this helps. I am a GEO 4 btw

To be honest, I am one of the golden officer in the school. My bosses like me and they do give me many chances to excel. However, when I did target setting with my RO, she mentioned that the school didn't see any leadership potential in me yet. So I asked her what to do? She said do something along ur aspiration.. Hmmm.... Not that I'm lazy to do anything new, but I'm not very sure what more can contirbute to the school? I guess to become a KP, you gonna keep on showing your face to the SLs even though u are not doing much. Have a chat and just show face. I'm not that type of person who will just show up in SLs office just to 'wayang'.
I am not a scholar. But my HOD praises my competencies in classroom management and applaused my effort in changing the challenging students' behaviour. What should I do more?
Personally I don't feel that I'm being groomed. I feel that I'm not developed professionally as an educator. At times when I see my direct Lh being super incompetent and super last minute, but able to get away from all the mess my LH have created, I just wondered how does she become a KP. Well, showing face to the P in her first show to the school did help much I guess. The following year my LH was promoted. Imagined vetting a P3 paper for 1 month for 1st draft and another month to 2nd vetting. When exam was just weeek 9 of the term. That left me >1 week to edit and resubmit. Omg. Any advices from the fellow colleagues too? - Troubled educator
