Are you an English Teacher?

If you are, then you would have experienced these:

“Teacher, tak tau answer”I have been spending the last hour explaining! What did I do wrong?!!

Headache!!

Tired?

And when the results are out:

And on top of that

Are you a Ketua Panitia?

How did you feel when you were elected to be a KP?

Has any teacher in your panel asked for your help with regards to the teaching of English? How did you respond?

Have you ever gotten that nagging feeling when watching some teachers in your panel, teaching the children in a non-children-friendly way? How did you respond to these teachers?

We solve problems together, let’s hear it

What is Subject Leadership?

Subject Leadership is a continuous 3-year programme involving English Panel Heads around Malaysia

Subject Leadership Programme This programme is divided into 3 phases: Year 1: RELTmax (KSSR Lower Primary)

How do we help young learners acquire second/third language?

Year 2a: School-Based Assessment▪ How do we support and improve children’s learning

through on-going assessment? Year 2b: Coaching and Mentoring

▪ How do we support the teachers in our panel? Year 3: RELTmax Plus (KSSR Upper Primary)

▪ How do we further support children’s second language learning?

RELTmax

RELTmax is divided into two phases: Phase 1: English is all fun and play –

understanding how children learn best through play

Phase 2: Understanding how to plan a unit from the textbook for young learners

So, at the end of the course, hopefully, you will be able to:

employ the elements of play, constructivist approach to teaching and learning English in their classroom

use English within a classroom with greater confidence

make use of the textbook and activity book more creatively

understand and implement the KSSR syllabus effectively and creatively

understand and implement the School-Based Assessment (SBA) reliably and consistently based on Dokumen Standard Prestasi

provide continuous professional development for the teachers in the English Language panel
