A New Start

Year 2007 marks a new chapter in my teaching career.

I entered the teaching service in Jun 2001, was promoted to GEO1A2 in May 2005 and now, I have finally made up my mind to move into the leadership track.

Actually, such a decision makes me quite motivated now. Within months, I have been coming up with frameworks that will help to keep me navigated in delivering processes that I am in charge of. Think its so much better than trying to run away from responsibilities. Now, I am in a position to make serious recommendations to improve processes and I see things moving. I guess we really have to get our hands dirty if we want things to move in the way we desired.

I went into identity crisis last year (in terms of my work as a teacher). I indicated I wanted to advance in the teaching track and even took up Masters for it. Yet, I don't see me given job responsibilities that will develop me in that area. I also see that my roles in the math department are also diminished. End up getting nowhere and it was quite frustrating.

Well, I had always been successful in getting out of systems if I wanted to but what is annoying is that I cannot seem to see developmental paths set out for me in the teaching track. Then, I was given the second chance to consider taking up the leadership track again.

After much consideration and listing out my thoughts before the Lord, I finally bowed to the fact that it is much better for me to choose the better option; to move into leadership. (I hated monitoring and getting people to do things but I cannot run from it anymore)

Still have lots to recall but I think it does not really matter much to you reading it. I'll just end here and I shall dedicate this blog to keep track of my significant contributions, achievements , struggles and maybe conflicts in this career that I am in.

May it come in useful later when I needed to gather data for making a transfer to the teaching track. Haha..
