Must watch movies for teachers

Wednesday, August 10, 2016


Stumbling upon this Indonesian movie last week, was coincidental. In conjunction with the Merdeka 59th celebration this month, I believe this movie is a must watch. Set in present day Jakarta, it dwells on the issues such as poverty, child labour, education, corruption, unemployment in a light-hearted manner. Teachers may share the lessons from the movie to enlighten learners on issues that are universal and real. Deep thoughts and reflection are required in order for both teachers and learners to understand the role they play in modern day society.




This movie is valuable for teachers' PLC as it provides insights on how differentiated learning can happen. Marva Collins uses Socratic method to develop higher order thinking skills in her learners. The quote featured here is close to my heart and it is not an easy vision to share. Nonetheless, adopting "Malaysia Boleh" attitude should inspire us towards achieving our personal goal in educating our future generation. 



These boys high spirit in both friendship and learning are highly inspirational. Young children who are oblivious to their surrounding, pampered (like my children, yikes!) must watch this movie. I intend to do this during this coming weekend. I hope they can understand the struggle to the road of learning and not everyone is as fortunate as them. 



3 words: RULES, ROUTINE, CONSISTENCY
These are the words for successful classroom management. Great for teacher trainee or just someone who recently appointed to teach year one pupils! Well, good luck to you. I quote my lecturer at TTC he was referring to the classroom, "it is a jungle out there!"
