Thumbs down

Which also explains why that KP speficially stated he/she “tanked department work”. Cos it’s his/her department. Gross

lol wtf never do work also tio, do work also tio. If dept members cannot handle the work, HOD step in to do, wrong meh?

smlj. So many people in the service with the "whole world is against me" mentality. If it seems like a few people are against you, sure. If it seems like the whole system is against you, maybe the problem lies in your own head.

Current SH tanks everything for the dept/unit, everything also want to do. Said it was to offload our work when it is so obvious it is for the portfolio and PB. New to the school so just keeping quiet for the time being. Best is get news of promotion in April and I can float. If not, gonna zao after 3 years. I also want my own PD.

The situation on the ground is that different teachers hold different types of portfolios, as different as apples and oranges. But management seems to prefer apple or orange over the other.

For example, take a comparison of 2 teachers of same age and same paygrade.

Teacher A:
Due to manpower shortage in the department, need to take on additional classes and graduating classes. Timetable is overloaded. In other areas, just an ordinary committee member, ordinary CCA teacher.
Burn 80h weeks doing T&L related stuff (lessons, homework marking, exam-related stuff, testimonial, additional classes for grad classes)

Teacher B:
Normal class load, or maybe lower, and appointment as CCA OIC and committee head/2ic. Placed in charge to plan and lead a major school event, for example, NE week leading up to national day, or organise the school's anniversary celebration and coordinating with the VIPs attending the event. Also burn 80h work weeks doing all these stuff.

In terms of time and effort, both teachers are definitely not slacking, and are working too hard.
But when it comes to appraisal, teacher B will be favoured over teacher A, because the system deems such non-academic work as being 'more impactful'.
Which is not necessarily true.

Just because an event involved the entire school population, got VIPs involved, it doesn't make it more important than learning in the classroom.

At the end of the day, if we ask the real stakeholders, the parents and students, if they were to choose to between lessons and school event, which would they think is more important, the answer is quite obvious.

The priorities are severely misplaced in the appraisal of teachers.
Actually it is already communicated to us that appraisal is mainly based on the level of impact. Might sound like priorities are misplaced but the hint is there.

If you just focus on teaching your class well, the impact, at the end of the day, is only on your class. You can make the impact greater by sharing what you have done with your class with other teachers in your level and ensuring they carry it out with their classes. That way, your impact will be increased to level-wide instead of just on your class only.

Granted, it is not easy to do this cos you will need the support of your level teachers and a certain level of influence. But this is one way to kill two birds with one stone.

Truth is you are just egocentric and believe the world revolves around you. It's ok, you can resign, it's within your rights to do so. Go and see the private sector.... oh, oops! The world still doesn't revolve around you!

So satki you open your mouth tell your RO you volunteer for the extra work lah. Otherwise let the next better player do it and put it on their portfolio.

Haven't seen a case where somebody gets denied extra work if they volunteer to tank it. Unless their bread and butter (T&L) cannot make it. If that's the case, can forget about promotion too.
