1) T&L is bread and butter for a BT. It's your main KRA. It's ok to focus mainly on that when in BTship. 2) For non-T&L work, contribute where you can. Explore your interests. Find areas which are based on your strengths - work that energises you and that you will look forward to doing. Be your own advocate and share with relevant KPs where you think you can best value-add and impact the school. 3) Learn to set expectations and chart your path with your RO. Set boundaries (first with yourself, then with others) on what you are willing to do / not do. Be familiar with your KRAs and KPIs. Consider joining STU, they have good professional development sharing session, tips and advice. 4) For performance, you'll come to learn that impact > effort. More effort doesn't always pay off. It's the impact which others see. For T&L, self-directed learning is the way to go for impact>effort. 5) Surround yourself with at least 1 or 2 positive colleagues and avoid the toxic ones. Here's a good article: https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/marigolds/ 6) Celebrate the little things. e.g. put up the cards from your students to give yourself a reason to wake up. 7) It's ok to not know everything. Experience teachers had decades to figure things out and are still struggling in some areas. Focus on what you can improve instead of what has went wrong. There's a long road ahead and there's still plenty you can try. 8) If your school environment is bad and you're hanging on a thread, there's always option to change school at the 2 year mark. The school environment really makes or breaks the teacher experience. 9) It's okay to prioritise your health, family and friends over your work.

If you just plan to be a HOT, don't give 100% during your BT years. The reward for being efficient is usually in the form of more work. By burning your free time after school and on weekends to compete your assigned tasks, it's only a matter of time before you are taken for granted. And one day when you no longer have as much time to spare after working hours, people will think that you are skiving. TLDR: Don't give your 100%, reserve some spare capacity. |
Act blur live long. Its the civil service anyway!

A person earning slightly more than 100k annually is in the top 20 percentile of income earners in Singapore. And please let's not compare workload, every job has their stress points. Plus, peolpeople can point to how teachers enjoy June and Dec holidays, which even if you take away meetings and lesson prep is still quite substantial. |
Connect plan
Any idea when is the connect payout is going to be?
Amount and letter is not on the portal as well |

Even if we consider the lower salary as a trade-off for job security (which many of us can understand and accept), everything else just shows that the civil service is still in the freaking stone age. Out of touch my arse, you just don't know where the real opportunities are. No transferrable skills? Rubbish - more like no skill in marketing oneself. |
