NSS course

Dear NSSC participants,

This is my third year to teach this EDB-tendered professional development course. I hope you like the ideas I delivered in this morning and trust that they can be utilized in the real classroom context.

The syllabus, despite designed by Tim, is largely based upon the EDB curriculum guide published in 2007. You may find some ideas too idealistic or impractical in your classroom situations. That's why it's significant to remember to fine-tune whatever teaching models or suggestions proposed to you as there is no one-size-fit-all pedagogical model that suits all contexts.

Lastly, the most important thing is that you can get to know one another who also works in the same field, or who is, like you, still struggling in the NSS teaching. However, after hearing what is happening in other schools, you may become more relieved that you know you are not alone. Instead, we are all in the same boat! Perhaps, you may make new friends through this occasion.

Good luck and enjoy.

Ricky
