I was promoted last year. (2023) Within 2 years, I was promoted actually from 3 to 4. I didnt perform as well last year as I didnt communicate as well with the vendor and so there was some issues and it semi lead to a potential safety issue. So got graded down.
I need to change school as I live very far away (17km by car) has been grabbing for 1 year + and it is very ex. In addition, new P came in. The new P has made many people quit or leave already. We have average of 3 HL per mth now.
2) If I cant get OP, I will like to try Close posting. But is it a risk? As I heard some close posting schools are horrible.

Your honesty is commendable but not to be used for interviews.

If asked about the C-, just say that there were too many good performers.

17 km is not that bad. Your choice of Grab is not a bright choice.

You are already C-, is that not bad enough to get you to move.

Better to save your money and take public transport.

Pegging of EO grades, KP and HQ positions

Dear all,

I'm very new to this field! Just out of curiousity, what is the "pegging" between the EO grades, KP and HQ positions? Is this correct?

SEO3 = VP = DD in HQ
SEO2 = HOD = AD in HQ
SEO1 = Junior HOD = Lead Manager in HQ
GEO5 = Normal teacher / SH = Manager in HQ

Thank you!

If a teacher doesn't have time to interact with people outside of fraternity and is constantly surrounded by other educators, it will be good to see the world outside through TWA so as to better inform oneself of the realities outside of schools. That will shape perspectives which hopefully will impact teacher's pedagogical approaches, as well as have more impetus to impart beyond content knowledge.

Likewise, I see TWA as a way to get myself out of the world of teaching for a bit, see a bit more of the world. Does it apply directly back to teaching? So far it hasnt la. But it was an enriching experience - it developed my perspectives and awareness of some things. And that may have an indirect impact on the way I teach in.future, the kinds of teaching materials I use, etc.

But there are TWA options more directly related to teaching if you are looking for something with more direct transferability back to your job. Orgs in education sector or related to your teaching subject.

Agree! I must say you're lucky to have such supportive SLs. Others that I know of would only approve of TWA during June/Nov/Dec period. Great school to be in!

"Walk the talk" lol...

It is just like how doctors advocate quitting smoking...but they themselves may smoke too. Is it a crime? Why they cannot walk the talk?

Because they are adults who made informed decisions on life choices. And it is their DUTY to educate the public about the truth on smoking. To compare that with groping/molestation or how we should let kids smoke if teachers wanna smoke...that's illogical. No link.

Telling students to behave when the teachers are not behaving. What a double standard

Walk the talk.

Students are human beings too.
