MOE ExCEL Fest 2011
The ExCEL Fest 2011 was held on 1 & 2 April 2011 at the Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The theme was“ Different Pathways to Success: Strong Fundamentals, Future Learnings”. A team of teachers from our AHS English Department had the privilege to share their ideas from their Lesson Study on‘ Enhancing Prior Knowledge for Reading Comprehension’. Through the Sharing Session, the AHS team presented enthusiastically their findings on how the provision of prior knowledge through the use of multi-media would help secondary school students answer English Comprehension questions better.
First-Aid and Fire-Fighting Workshop 2011
In line with the Safety Week 2011 in February, the school invited officers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force( SCDF) to conduct a workshop on First Aid and Fire Fighting for the staff. Besides learning from the interesting and informative presentations, the participants also had fun during a hands-on session in bandaging the‘ victims’ and using the fire-extinguishers. AHS, you are in safe hands!
Best Teacher Reflections 2011
As practitioners, it is important for teachers to reflect on and document their teaching methodologies / strategies. This is currently being done by AHS teachers, using the PETALS Framework in the areas of Pedagogy, Experience of Learning, Tone of Environment, Assessment, and Learning Content. Each month, teachers with the best reflections are rewarded with little tokens. Congratulations to the teachers who have been selected!
