Ready Reporting Duty….(Don’t be naugthy in your school)

by shuk_justdoit07 on Apr.02, 2009,

Advise from boss………

Dear Team

This is to inform that all facilitators (except for Wesley and Uma) are to report to the principal at your respective schools at 8.30am. Your working hours is from 8am to 5pm, Mon-Fri. I make the 6^th an exception due to the school assembly, otherwise the principal will not have time to have a proper chat with you when you go to see her/him. You are to get the keys from the schools as I was made to understand that the keys have already been handed over by the contractors to the schools. However, at times the keys are kept by the security guards. Therefore, in the event that the schools’ management fail to produce the keys to you..do not panic. Instead, look for the security guards. If that fails too (just in case), attached is the list of contractors for each of your schools. Do not hesitate to call them.

A letter will be sent out to JPN Penang and JPN Perak to inform of your coming.

A few pointers that all of you should take note:

1. You are to prepare the cabin to receive delivery

2. You are to check that everything is in order ie air cond, lights, switch points etc are working properly (a checklist will be emailed to you)

3. Oversee works done in the event that your cabin has not been connected to power line (which I hope not) or streamyx line

4. If your cabin has not been connected to the power line inform me immediately. This is important as we do not want deliveries to be made to cabins that the alarm system is not running due to no electricity

5. Once the equipment has been delivered make sure that you do a round check to make sure that the goods delivered are in top order. We do not want late report of any defects to the supplier.

6. The lab is not to be opened to the school until you receive directive to do so

7. Have all that are necessary with you ie modules (soft copies will do), a few sheets of whatever forms you need to last you for a week running the labs (booking forms, timetable sheets etc) or anything that you think you might need for you to function as a facilitator

8. While you are there, mingle with the school teachers and get to know the people that you have to work closely with. This is where your PR skills are needed J. It will make your job much much easier trust me.

9. Take note of any obstacles that you might face or need to handle so that you can plan your next action. Always be alert to your surrounding ( case pecah rumah around the school area, kecurian cable, teachers attitude towards using ICT etc)

10. Stay connected! Meaning to say make sure that you are easily contacted at all time(no switching off handphone ye). SMS your cabin’s phone number to me.

It has been reported that SJKT Nibong Tebal and SJKC Yock Eng needs another week to be ready so Wesley and Uma will report duty on the 13^th of April 2009.

Other than all this…. J I hope that all of you can mentally prepare yourself to face your new working environment. Always use your common sense and do not get easily panic.

Motivation from My boss…

by shuk_justdoit07 on Apr.02, 2009,

My Dearest Team

Yes …the wait is over..the time has come… we are only days away from the big day when we will finally get to go to our respective schools to report duty. Before the day comes, I as the Head of cITaKU Labs, would like to thank all of you for serving your months slogging over the syllabus and timetables etc. I am honoured to have you as my facilitators and honoured by your continued support to me. Even the ones who have just come on board have expressed support to me and for that I am truly grateful. This is only the beginning and I can’t wait to start this journey with you.

To those who are going to the “battle ground” next week, remember that our mission is to give back to society and to enrich the lives of others. The golden rule that I wish for you to adopt is “to give without asking for returns’. By embracing this golden rule, will not only make you a happier and much likeable person, but will bless you and help you to grow into becoming a greater person, a much more understanding teacher, a patient friend and a loving custodian to your students (be it teachers or school children). Set a daily goal to be Inspiring, Nurturing and Strong to others so that you can set good examples for others to follow. You are indeed paving the way for other facilitators who will be joining us in our mission.  kind of like a commando.

I believe that you will be able to change the people around you if you work together as a family, even if there are barriers and obstacles in the future. It is not going to be easy, the ride may be rough, but if you hold on to each other it will make the bumpy ride bearable and less difficult. All I can say in my 10 years of being a Teacher is to face challenges straight in the face..no sidestepping.. and learn how to overcome the problem. Never give up! Here are a few tips that I would like to share:
1. Persistency. Keep trying and do not give up until you achieve your goals.
2. Lead by example. Watch what you say or do because your students will follow what their teacher do. Remember that your actions affect those around you.
3. Belief. Believe that you can make a difference. What may seem small and insignificant to you, may have big impact on others.
4. A ‘Go Give’ spirit. Always ask yourself as to how much you could help instead of how much you can get ( as in pujian or other types of reward). Give from your heart.
5. Take action. Work on activities that need to be done to stimulate interest among school society.
6. Failure? Should you fail at something ( lesson didn’t go well or budak-budak tak mau dengar kata), it does not mean that you cannot do it or you are a bad teacher. It is just a reminder that you need to work harder and try again.

This video clip has touched my heart and made me thought of you. It has a very strong message. I thought that it will be good to share so that it will always come to your mind when the going gets tough. Like I said in our tele-conferencing this morning, we may face adversity, but we should never lose faith in what we are trying to do. We are only here to help. Be creative in executing activities to attract the interest of the school society. Be patient too. Once they see how much fun and educational our labs can be for them, I believe that they will come to you on their own free will.

Enjoy the clip and I hope you are with me in our quest to make changes and touch the lives of others.

Love and Belief
