\"\"It was a normal Monday morning for most of the teachers in STAJ\u2014the kind where loud chatter
\nfilled the corridors\u2014but it wasn’t for me. It was my first day entering the classroom, and I felt the
\nusual nerves of being the new teacher. But today, I wasn’t alone. Standing next to me was my
\nHost Teacher, a seasoned educator with over a decade of experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"Two teachers in one classroom were unconventional and even felt rather odd at first, but it didn’t
\ntake long for me to see the magic it brought to the classroom. I recall a particularly chaotic
\nlesson where students were more interested in chatting than learning. Typically, managing such
\na scenario is a teacher’s nightmare, but with two of us, it was different. As I focused on running
\nthe class, I saw my Host Teacher quietly manoeuvre to the back of the class to redirect the
\nstudents’ attention and support those in need. It was a graceful dance that brought the lesson
\nback on track.<\/p>\n

Some days, I assist and observe, watching my Host Teacher deftly navigate the complexities of
\nthe classroom. There were moments when I saw them extend beyond textbooks to make a
\nlesson resonate, taking hours to find and create materials for a 35-minute class. And when it
\nwas my turn to lead the class, I knew I had a safety net\u2014a teacher who provided feedback,
\nguiding me as I grew with each passing day.<\/p>\n

However, the most captivating part of the journey has been witnessing the growth\u2014both for me
\nas a teacher and for the students benefiting from the dynamic of two educators. They became
\nmore inquisitive, asked more questions and engaged more confidently. They learned to take
\nadvantage of having two teachers, knowing that there’d always be one teacher available to
\nattend to their needs.<\/p>\n

\"\"Reflecting on my take on the TPP, I realise it isn’t merely about teaching; it’s about building a
\nlearning culture. A culture where two teachers join forces with one aim in mind\u2014to enable
\nlearning. The TPP has taught me that teaching is not just about standing in front of a class; it\u2019s
\nabout collaboration, building relationships, and continuous growth. And with two teachers
\nworking together, the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

Wrriten by Chee Mavis, TPP ’24<\/strong><\/p>\n

For me, teaching is about the warmth of seeing a student’s face light up with understanding\u2014proof that learning is a shared journey where we grow together. If the thought of your students\u2019 smiles warms your heart, you know you\u2019re right where you need to be.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
