I proudly declare myself, I am qualified to win the Malaysia Teacher Prize, I would like to
tell my story about being a teacher.
To justify my reason that I truly deserve to win the Malaysia Teacher Prize, there are a few points that will be able to prove my case. First and foremost, I always desired to teach, to inspire and most importantly to help my students to grow up. How I walk my talk? I always be an example of myself before I request my students to do anything that I ask because if I’m unable to do it, I will not ask them to do it. For example, I’m always punctual to class as there’s one ex-student even labelled me as human clock. For the inspiring part, I always strive to give my best in my lesson like I always share personal testimony according to situation and most importantly the right timing. In my lesson, I always ask my students to write weekly journal which is proven an effective way to provide students a platform to voice out which indirectly teacher is able to get to know more his students. In the same time, students are able to improve their writing as teacher will correct their journal like an essay. In addition, students will have freedom to write whatever they want as this will boost up their interest in writing. Other than that, in my class I always start by having weather check. It’s a method that students will suggest a tool, for example colour to describe based on the tool given. This is a way to know students’ feelings and also develop their visualization in writing. On the other hand, I have a final round of my lesson which students will share what did they learn from the lesson of the day. Anyway, the most important part is to help my students to grow up. How I constantly do this? I practically always create a platform for my students to learn which I believe is the most direct way in order to grow in terms of experience and mindset. For example, I let them arrange a Harvest Festival party which would be arranged everything by the students and they even had to prepare a proposal of activities. After I checked, the leader of the class will proceed and meet with the principal to get the consent of organizing the party. All in all, students will learn a lot as they involved directly. About my proudest achievement as a teacher would be able to guide my students personally in terms of time and cost. Even though my students didn’t get any award in Kuching International PBL Competition 2019 but I was really amazed by their commitments in making it happened as everything from creating their work till getting fund to flyover to Kuching. My part I only gave them right advises only. Lastly, I’m a teacher who is constantly try to improve myself whenever I can.
