Career as Teacher

You want to compare, compare it with a 40 yo go-getter with the same 15+ year runway as you.

The biggest chasms are when you compare EOs in their late 20s or early 30s with people in other agencies. EOs go up extremely slowly in that stage of their career.

40s, 50s, people start to settle down, slow down etc

In simple terms, the panel could see it as "no aspiration" and your CEP (or whatever it has evolved into now) may be left alone to rot.

Open posting to AST maybe? Haha

I see. Thanks for the input. I'll think about it.

hmmm based on what you're saying, if new officers dont take up appointments assigned by KPs and SLs, the officer will be penalised?

so an officer's progression is not of his/her own decision, but for superiors to control?

Let's put it this way: if an officer has a high CEP, but the school is perceived as not grooming the officer to climb the ladder, then the school will have to answer for it. If the answer is that the officer feels that they are not ready, then the CEP will have to be adjusted accordingly.

If the officer doesn't start with a high CEP, but is not ready for greater development, then there is no justification to review the CEP upwards.

Part of good org awareness is also being able to meet organisational needs, not just exercising your own power to pick and choose the appointment you want all the time.

Hi all. I intend to leave the service after getting my Connect plan at the end of this year. May I know which date I can safely put in my resignation? Without forfeiting my connect plan of course.

You fail as a teacher.

obviously, are you bad at reading social situations?

I don't feel like my first school had much intention to push me up, they were just trying to fill gaps and offload my HOD a bit.

SLs can be scumbags but at least you were rewarded with As.

haha, must reserve ST for old timers, otherwise when they ( me) hit saiary cap at GEO5 at age 40 how to be motivated to do more?
Also how to mentor 55 year old teachers if you are 30?

Any overseas scholar should expect clockwork-like promotion every 2 years.

Acting SH in 1 year of getting geo3.

Geo4 by 4th year of service, with official SH or maybe HOD appointment.

Sometimes promotions in consecutive years even.

Otherwise, how to attain accolade of being youngest principal at early to mid 30s, considering males only complete uni at 25, and complete NIE at 26/27.

Between GEO2 to Superscale H, there are 7 ranks to clear. Even if promote every 2 years, still take 14 years.

Maybe add a year between promotion for local scholars.
