Khru Loy has provided some useful assistance to me this year, particularly in review of Thai translations, arranging for activities such as my plays, organizing class and teacher schedules and directing activities for the October and April programs for external students and in testing students who take our entrance exams.
However, in some things it seems like her goal is to continually make the piles of paper higher rather than to make their content better.
This coming school year I want to reorganize our education priorities and reinvent education, teaching and reporting at Starfish Maetaeng and Khru Loy will have to play a major role in this as school principal. How and whether Khru Joy 1 and Khru O continue to play ANY role in this reorganization is still questionable.
Too much of what Khru Loy and we now do seems to be to meet what she thinks is the expectation of the Thai Education Ministry (TEM) and too little is to meet the real needs of the students.
However, as has been clearly demonstrated, what the TEM recommends or even mandates is an almost total failure, as judged by the scores on the ONET tests. What we have taught at Starfish Maetaeng even in the past has given far better results on these tests than what the TEM has required Thai schools to do.
Although Khru Loy, Khru Joy 1 and Khru O are presumably responsible for what is taught here and how it is taught, I have received little if any input from any of them on improvements and changes in the curriculum and things that we can do better. Recently I have asked for “How can we improve things (for students, teachers and staff) at Starfish this year? No feedback yet but this will be a topic at April meetings.
Much of what these three do involves lesson plans and weekly reports but there is no indication that any of them is telling teachers to change any lesson plans or to make any specific improvements in their teaching, to prepare new materials or to do extensive analysis of the results or quality of teaching. This is often simply an exercise in collecting and filing useless paper complete with multiple signatures. This approach notably failed with a Philippine math teacher who was later but justifiably terminated.
I have recently said that we will start using LEARNING OBJECTIVES in ALL anubaan and pratom classes and it will principally be up to Khru Loy to obtain, write if needed, and compile these and they will be translated to English for me and approved by me. They should not be simply a list of ACTIVITIES but include my five basic steps 1) What am I going to teach? 2) How am I going to teach it? 3) What materials do I have to teach it or do I have to develop? 4) How and when do I assess that the students have met the Learning Objectives?, 5) What do I do about students who have not met the Learning Objectives?
