Most likely can say goodbye to your job.

Just to confirm...every year during ranking, every school must somehow choose a small percentage of teachers to give C- and D grades?

Broadly speaking, anything that has cohort-level impact and above (can also be school-level or cluster-level). I’m guessing that anything more specific will depend on the context of your school and the perception of your school leaders.

If i'm not wrong, if no D graders, then 7% of the lowest performers is C- or if got D graders then I think is 3 or 5% will have D or C-.

Regarding getting C- means no promotion for three years.

I have gotten C- before. The year right after, B and promoted.

So, not true.

Hi I went for an interview recently. Before entering the room, you will be wearing shield and mask. The shield is provided. You sanitise your hands and take the shield from a plastic box. Then when you are about to enter the interview room, you will be told to remove your mask. The presentation and interview will be done with shield on ONLY.

Interviewers are all seated quite far apart.

Hi guys, looking for advice on becoming a teacher in MOE.

I’m currently an ECDA certified teacher with a diploma in EC. I’m looking to cross over and becoming a primary school teacher. Is DipEd the only path I have if I did not do exceptionally well in my previous diploma program? I assume it’s hard to get into the BA scheme unless I did well (there’s no IGP for the course in terms of poly GPA so I can’t compare either).

If I were to pursue DipEd, I’d like to be an arts teacher. Anyone has any info in terms of salary for that?

Thanks!

Hi, I would like to seek some advice. If I were to pursue the teaching track, do you think it is a must to study a master in NIE?

I have seen senior teachers without masters... but if you really want to progress beyond that, the knowledge that comes with the masters will come in handy... and also the network the you form...

Many people view masters as an opportunity to get more knowledge... while it is true... i think more importantly, the process of learning how to think and approach a problem is more impt...
