TLLM - What next?

Role of TLLM team


1. The challenge in 2011 is to raise awareness and participation of staff in innovation in T & L
2. As team leader, my role is to set the direction for the TLLM team to promote a culture of school wide curriculum innovation as I am doing now.
3. Our SSD supports the TLLM team by offering to us platforms for our research teams to share, offer the teams protected time to do their research and organise training which supports their objectives.
4. Ser Yee, our RA, will offer her expertise to the research teams in areas like research design and methodology, statistical procedures, data collection and research paper writing. Her role is that of both driver and consultant.
5. Each of the original TLLM team members will lead 1 of the 5 research teams.

- Hai Seng/Huijun

- Bernard/Daniel

- Ruvathy

- Tiong Ghee/Ser Yee

- Nalini
Ser Yee and I will join the team whose research may interest us. For instance I am likely to join Bernard to jointly investigate how the use of checklists in Oral Communications improves OC results OR Nalini to study how the use of diagrammatic arrows leads to better quality of expository writing in Humanities.

Activities for Oct to Dec 2010

1. TLLM Team will meet every Thursday afternoon beginning from 14th Oct to do the following:

a. Complete the Fernvale Estate integrated project.
b. Each of the TLLM members has penned down areas in T & L which they would like to investigate and to objectively uncover effectiveness of via AR. They will delve deeper into each area and find a maximum of 2 other non-TLLM team members who may also have found effectiveness in some of these areas. Together they will form a research team.

Proposed targets for 2011

- Formation of 5 research teams led by an original TLLM team member.

- All 5 research teams will present their research at 1 or more platforms.

- The 5 research teams will sub-divide into 15 teams in 2012 and take in new members.

- At least 2 AR papers to be published in a recognised publication at Zone and/or National level.
