Yes (a massive love and a slight crush).
I have found a deeper understanding about the importance of environment as a teacher and how students’ interact with it. Having the environment ready as a teacher and learning-tool, help students be more independent. Because Students are naturally curious, They’ll navigate their day with this curiosity. If they have high interest in a matter, they will be focused on it and learning happens. If not, they’ll move on. Its also how you’ll get to see where their interest lies and what is it the students want to learn.
But all that can only be seen if you (the Learning Facilitator) has the chance to observe. In Sri Aria School, a lot of observation must be done. I found out my role as a teacher changed so much and there’s little time to “teach” (in the traditional sense). My teaching in Sri Aria School is more meaningful because you can sense that it gets “downloaded” immediately because they are using and also teaching their friends after getting the information from me.
One of the proudest moment (so far) I felt during the first week is when we had our Town Hall Meeting on Friday morning. An issue regarding the Gamer Zone schedule was addressed democratically and peacefully. Immediately, after the meeting, you can see the effects of the discussion and almost everyone was responsible in keeping to the schedule.
It is still our orientation week at Sri Aria School Bandar Sri Damansara. A lot of the things we learned this week is in regards to the school rules and how to make the school work and functional. The students also learn how to plan and keep to their plans so they’ll have a productive day (although this can be subjective but almost each student achieve their goal and they are confident about it).
As a playbased learning advocate, I can see how Sri Aria School will be a great continuation of KinderKaizen graduates. Sri Aria School culture continues to foster the independence, thoughtfulness, respect, and responsibility we introduce in KinderKaizen. The culture continues and deepens; reaffirms the foundation being build in the first 6 to 8 years of our young KinderKaizeners.
So, Sri Aria School hanya untuk KinderKaizen graduates ke?
TAK. Like KinderKaizen, Sri Aria School is for all children in Malaysia who are in dire need of change so they can grow into independent and capable adults.
If you believe As and exams (even school-entry exams) are not the only thing that matters in making up our future leaders of Malaysia, Sri Aria School is for you.
Come join me?
Massive love (and a slight crush),
