Keeping Up with Curriculum
I played a part in the crafting of the Secondary Physics syllabus that is applicable for 2013-2019. Beyond that, I enjoy discussion with my friends in the teaching service on curriculum and pedagogy matters, and also keep an eye on developments through my tutees' work.
As a Good Tutor
A good tutor must be able to eventually guide the student to think critically and independently.
