The W@W Teachers Training Programme will cover:

• Language Enhancement Training and Assessment

During the training, all trainee teachers will be trained to teach the W@W Curriculum at the primary and secondary levels.

In the training interim, trainee teachers could be assigned classes and lessons to teach, subjected to organisational requirements.

W@W MASTER TRAINERS & MENTORS’ TESTIMONIALS

→ Why is it important for a new teacher to undergo training? 

Facing students in the classroom for the first time can feel a lot like being thrown into the deep end of the pool. Before one can start teaching, a new teacher needs to master the curriculum, have a lesson delivery plan, possess classroom management skills, and handle parents’ communication.

At WR!TERS@WORK, every new teacher will undergo intensive training so that trainees will be equipped with the necessary skills to teach effectively and manage parents. By the end of the 3-month training programme, you will gain the confidence to be the teacher who can propel your students to new heights!

→ What can a new teacher expect from the W@W Mentorship Programme?

A great teacher is crucial to a student’s learning journey and that is why in W@W, we focus on developing a teacher’s teaching skills. Each new teacher goes through a mentorship programme where experienced mentors handhold the trainees, show them the rope, and impart knowledge onto them, which allows them to maximize their potential and growth in the company. Nothing beats learning on the job when a new teacher experiences lesson observation, in-class teaching and marking students’ scripts.

→ Why is it important for new teachers to be equipped with classroom management skills?

A comprehensive and structured curriculum alone is not enough for a child to learn. The difference between a good teacher and a competent teacher is their skill at Classroom Management. Creating an empathetic, safe, lively but structured and conducive classroom is one of the most important skills a teacher could have. At WR!TERS@WORK, we aim to mentor new teachers to develop a classroom management style of their own to facilitate quality learning and ensure student engagement.

→What is it like to be a W@W Teacher?

Life as an enrichment teacher is no walk in the park! Navigating a brand-new environment can be difficult and daunting. I know. I have been there. My goal is to be my mentee’s honest soundboard, help desk and guidebook to the dizzying pace of life they have to get used to here at WR!TERS@WORK. I aim to give them a clear idea of what they can expect of themselves and their stakeholders as a teacher and how they can reach these goals and standards. Under mentorship, my mentees can expect my ceiling (experience, tips, teaching tools, etc) to be their floor.
