Teacher Professional Development

The Last Official TPD for 2014

The topic was drama in the classroom, and the teachers prepared some warm-up activities based on a drama or story-telling theme. The main activity was Julian's mask-making and re-telling of The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear. Everyone joined in and it was an enjoyable end to 18 hours of professional development workshops over the past eight months at the combined Jerantut and Pulau Mansok clusters on Mondays, and the Bukit Nikmat group on Tuesdays.
