I was priviledged to join the Frog Asia VLE 3 day workshop today for ICT teachers at PKG Kuah.
ICT teachers were able to experience hands-on how to develop Project-based Learning (PBL) using VLE with students – all part of PAK 21.
FROG ASIA facilitator Azima explains what each tab on the VLE page is for and ensures the ICT teachers are confident with each step.
PPD Langkawi PLT have visited all DTP-AMAN schools since C3 CPD in January 2019 to follow up with schools.
SLT are being supported by PLT PPD officers while SISC+ are supporting ML. This part of the action plan or PILL.S developed between the school and the PPD officers.
All 28 schools under PPD Langkawi have been assigned a School Improvement Officer (SIO) as part of the 2019 MoE focus on supporting schools through bottom up transformation. Over the next 7 weeks, schools will be supported to establish effective systems, processes and tools for regular, focussed Learning Walks and PLCs.
