Hi, I have been offered a position in HQ via OPE. However, my school would like to offer an internal KP appointment should I choose to stay. Which would be a better choice?

Anyway there are a few obvious explanations for this (before we delve into the less common reasons).. 1. officer is performing above average at his current level but his CEP is not very high, so rate of promotion is still relatively slow. Remember it is not performance grade but CEP which actually determines how often HR flags an officer for promotion. It is usually correlated because CEP will usually be raised for consistent high performers, but it is not a given, i.e. it is possible to give many Bs in a row but not touch an officer's CEP at all. 2. centrally imposed (i.e. by HR) decrease in number of promotions in the high GEO grades because of top-heaviness across the service. This is not officially confirmed in any way by HR, but it is easy to notice if you've been around for most of last decade. Many GEO3s right now are way past overdue (by older standards) for promotion to GEO4 but will be kept waiting for some more time. |
My own opinion is positive about a job as a teacher. It depends what type of teacher you want to be. For example if you want to be a school teacher, then great. But think twice about it, because the hardest part of being a school teacher are children. If you don't find a way to control them, then you are doomed. You can also be a sports teacher. You can create your own clubs of sports, and be the one who helps children find their potential in sport. There are other options like driving teacher, financial teacher and many more. So in conclusion, it is down to you, to choose what type of teacher you want to become.

Basically if you are planning to make money, dont join.
I took the wrong move to join PDGE after i left my first job. I was there just for the sake of the salary and could not really find the drive to help students. Left after bond ended. Do not join unless you have a heart to help and guide students. You will ruined them. |

There are some who are unable to. Generally speaking though, most can if they choose to, for most weekends. Good is relative. I assume we are talking having time to oneself and not be working. |
Quote:
Those super passionate one will meet students on wkend in school to help them for extra lesson. For me, i never worked a single weekend before cause i teach tuition the whole day. (Yes i go beyond the allowed 6 hrs granted by my principal) |
Has anyone gotten an invite from HR to give talk to inspiring undergraduates and graduates to join teaching?
How does HR choose people to give such talks for recruitment? |

IHL lecturer to MOE teacher?
Hi all,
I was wondering if any current teachers here were once an IHL lecturer and got "transferred" or converted to as MOE teachers successfully? I am currently an IHL lecturer and was contemplating of becoming a MOE teacher.. I am currently now in my 8 years of service.. Some questions if anyone can enlighten me =)) 1) Is DACE considered as a qualified teaching qualification? Do I still need to take up PGDE? 2) Is converting to MOE teacher from IHL's lecturer considered as a transfer and my service years can be retained? 3) If I am successfully got accepted, will the current PB from my IHLs be affected, say i.e, I tendered in Dec 21, serve my 3 months notice, and report to MOE school in Mar 22. Thank you! |

Is it true that if a teacher gets a promotion in a school, he needs to serve at least the next two years in the school?
If the teacher indicated interest to post out, would the school hesitate to promote him (if he is due to be promoted)? |
No such requirement for promotees.
Promotion is largely decided centrally by HR - I doubt school leadership will actively block this, even if they could. However, it is possible that the school might not award this teacher B or C+ (or raise CEP) if leaving… although more enlightened leadership should till be aim to judge him fairly, based on actual contributions and capability.

Hello everyone.
I am currently an untrained Secondary school teacher. Have been teaching since Jan 2021. I am expected to teach until NIE intake in December. Have already been cleared to proceed but there are several things I would like to ask. 1) For teachers with CS coming in 2 different departments, do they end up teaching more hours? I am asking because i have 4 classes for my CS1 and 2 classes for CS2. And these classes are all at different levels so that would mean 6 different classes to prepare for each week. 2) Are there checks by SLs to ensure some teachers are not overloaded? I notice that the newbies get more classes at least in my school. In the future, if i am assigned too many classes as a trained teacher, what avenues can I use to voice out my concerns about the workload? 3) I did bring this workload up to my mentor but i was told in a rather dismissive manner that "it is a right of passage". Are newbie teachers expected to take on more classes in the beginning? Once you become more experienced, you deserve less classes sort of thing? |

They can bully whoever they can. U can skip chain of command and write to p, but doubt it will work well for your future But if u need this job, just have to tolerate it till u finish pgde |

Teaching 6 classes is the norm. If you are a BT, your only job is only teaching, thus it’s normal that you have a variety of classes. You are not the coordinator so you often get to follow the SOW. Just need to modify stuff for your classes. The more senior you get, the more roles you will have. Thus, you will end up focusing on either lower Sec or upper Sec. Workload is not just teaching load. |

So do most schools do this to newbies?? :0 |

To add on, many of the projects proposed and implemented by KPs can be seen being tanked and executed by the normal teachers (while this ironically boosts their portfolios and KPIs when they only "assign work"). Does this happen in other schools too? |

Poly
Anyone can share what are the job grades of a polytechnic lecturer? I have just been offered a entry level lecturer position at a polytechnic, and just curious how what is it like in the industry.
Would be good if someone can share on the typical workload/working hours too. |
Anybody knows how to promote to VP-ship, especially for non-scholars? Is it even possible, given the excess situation and what’s the criteria?
|
Quote:
1) Plenty of non-scholars have made it to school leadership 2) You will need to have a high CEP, probably serving as HOD but high-performing and handling cross-department/full-school affairs 3) MOE HR identifies certain of these people for a VP interview. Not everyone clears this. 4) If you're really interested, talk to your RO about this and how you could work towards moving up the leadership track (assuming you're a current HOD) - can couch it as further down the road, if you think it's not likely to be so soon. If you feel too embarrassed to do even that, it might also be a sign about your readiness for this? |
