FAJT seems to be the current stop gap measure but they dont typically set exam papers etc.

I notice teachers who over the years become negative due to the prolonged excessive workload. Is this a good reason to leave?

Hi! I was doing internal LH duties this year and asked to go for interview in 2024. I’m not sure if I’m ready for the interview itself. Anyone who has gone for it can share what kind of questions were asked?

I’d think this is what I need to read up on as a language teacher:
- syllabus
- school’s and dept direction
- examples of how I contributed to school
- challenges I’ve faced as an internal leader

My HOD has not prep me yet and I don’t want to bug her this early.
I’m nervous 😬 especially in a formal setting and having to speak spontaneously 🥶 TIA!

Won't be surprising if she's SEO doing superscale H work.

From GEO2 to H, there are 6 paygrades to clear (GEO 3, 4, 5, SEO 1, 2, 3)

From graduating uni, need to add in 2 more years for NIE and stanford masters.

11 years to promote 6 grades seems a little unlikely. Remember, she's not the only scholar around. There are many scholars in MOE.

Most likely is still SEO3
