sorry I was late tonight!!
next Sunday I'll probably be about to touch back down in Lilongwe after a 24 hour visit to Kuwait! Not sure if i'll be around for #PLFchat

Mel A @fungooli.bsky.social · May 4

A3 I think I need to think about that further to answer that
maybe yes to recognise that what is in the past is in the past and to focus on how to improve things for next year.. and also to acknowledge what went well! #PLFchat

Mel A @fungooli.bsky.social · May 4

uff.. that's hard eh!! #PLFchat
i'm definitely not a perfectionist but .. definitely look at some things and wish ugh.

Mel A @fungooli.bsky.social · May 4

at the end of each unit I design a google form that has Qs about the concepts in the unit - and then what they enjoyed/did not enjoy.. what resources were useful.. and any advice they have on to how to improve the unit
but yah we also do end of year personal goal reflections! #PLFchat

Mel A @fungooli.bsky.social · May 4

oh that's so nice!! #PLFchat

Mel A @fungooli.bsky.social · May 4

oh dear. A1 #PLFchat
Something I SHOULD do is to organise my google drive, and update Managebac with the reflections on the recent units, and do the changes we've verbally discussed as sa team! #goals

Mel A @fungooli.bsky.social · May 4

Yeah I left Aus in 2014 to go and teach in Taiwan. I was there for 5 years and then I moved to Colombia for 4 years and I've been in Malawi since 2023. So I was originally teaching English and mathematics for secondary school in Australia before I left and now I'm teaching IB maths g7-12 #plfchat
