Everyone thinks student leadership is good, but its just a playform for you to display strengths..
The rewards:effort ratio can be quite low |

Let me paint the realistic picture for you: A lot of events to run = yes (orientation, ceremonies, camps, trainings etc) A lot of events = a lot of trainings and rehearsals = a lot of time burnt which you can use to do marking, go home earlier etc Need to meet students constantly to check on their work/progress Student leaders got problem = You will be summoned + have to deal with it Was it fun and rewarding = Yes Was it visible = more to your cock ups, less to your successes Does it help in career = Yes and No - depends on what type of portfolio you are looking for. Non IP would be better (become year head etc.). Honestly, no one really cares that much once you move on. No point competing with the high CEP people Was it worth it = not really, can chill and do as well in other committees and progress as fast Rating = 6/10 |
How much are fresh grad teachers getting for starting salary these days?

Your CEP might not be there to become a SL, or at most a VP. Because Ps are generally identified early and take on first sch posting as P as young as 39 yo or early 40s. Though recently there was a first-time P who just hit 50 yo. If you’re 36 yo now, your likelihood to become P is lower, but you might become a VP. Note that there are many VPs who never become P and simply remain stagnant.

Connect plan
Is there such a thing where they’ll claw back my connect plan? And if yes, then when should I tender? Thanks!

A lot of teachers are already gearing up to leave. If they can't afford to resign, they'll scramble for NPL, ML, HL and FAJT conversion. This year already had 2 people from my dept leaving. Next year 1 rage-leaving, 1 resigning, 1 applying for some leave. The only FAJT our dept has, struggled to stay for 1 semester, and will not be renewing for next year either. There have been no replacements this year. Next year - probably not too. Remaining FAJT quota has also been taken up by more "important" departments. And I'm talking about a STEM department here - supposedly always in excess according to the Ministry, but apparently not on reality. Anyone facing similar situations? |

May I know what are the challenges teachers face in fsbb schools? I’m currently teaching in an independent school and will need to go back to a mainstream school soon. Checking out my options. |

Anyone with experience of getting a C- or lower grade? Will your Ro actually inform you during mid year and place you on some sort of performance plan before giving you that grade?
|
Quote:
Challenges include more periods - more "teaching groups" after SBB. Harder to chase with work since students in a teaching group can come from various classes. You are also unlikely to teach all your students in your form class yet expected to provide them pastoral care. FSBB schools have figured out some systems to cope with these. |
Quote:
The number of teaching groups is insane, the timetable is very long drawn (esp for the 8 sub kids) and hence the teachers' timetables are also very packed. The environment in our school has always been kind and considerate, but people are leaving cuz they think it's too shiong. I'm starting to think it's going to be the same everywhere as all schools officially start FSBB frm 2024 onwards. Rocky road ahead! |

won't be considered for promotion for three years for C-, but there is MI, PB. D no MI, PB, connect plan (? can't remember, can check intranet) |

Quote:
Hence it will not be communicated during mid-year review period Only for those at-risk of getting a D/E grade will have to be communicated about it by mid-year. At the end of the year, ROs need to comms to those officers getting C- and below that they are getting these grades. Even though C- is not considered adverse, officers are communicated about it because they need to close their gaps in following year to avoid falling into the D grade. |
Quote:
If you are unlucky to get a crappy RO, who gaslights you to fill a quota for C-, then prepare to lan lan suk thumb, or find a better RO. |
C means no connect plan deposit for that year. No promotion for the next few years. Even though C- is technically not an adverse grade but it's a below average grade that comes with consequences. The PB is also drastically reduced.
You also can't apply for things with this grade. |

Quote:
does it mean that for post covid expectations are even higher now? |
Quote:

Hi can I check if any officers here received C- and was not told about it by your RO? I made a mistake during exam period and I am wondering if I should change job. But I have a bond to clear.
|
Quote:
what u mean? care to elaborate? if u were to terminate your bond prematurely, how many years b4 expiry? |
Quote:
|
Pls try to finish your bond at least. It will look bad and if u are looking for a govt job, there may be a record in the system

I am the OP who want to quit. I had one missing page in my exam paper and it was discovered during the paper.
|
I lived with a C- :(
Got a C+ next year and B next next year the following year but still cannot promote and stuck at Geo 3 sometimes its like that- if u still like the job can stay on la. I feel the missing page is not just on you, I tot the whole unit will sit together and check the printer copy etc before locking and launching on exam date |
Quote:

Quote:
But regardless, finish serving the bond first. Even if it means C- again etc. Can make your plans to go during this period |
