This was an informative session. Just like in other institutions, we discussed the school rules and regulations of the school; however, during this session, I  learnt it as an educator and not as a student. We were informed of the grading and awarding system of the school which is a bit different from the other institution. Each department also presented an overview of what they are doing in their own departments. Truly, this session is one information-packed day.

It was a wonderful time to spend the afternoon session with my co-subject teachers. One of the most important reflection that Ms. May gave us was to think of the incoming school year as a challenge to improve the English department better and address the weaknesses and growth spots of the previous school year. Of course it will be a challenge to us to think of good ideas to teach the students to love literature and language. What is good about this is that there is no one way to approach language or literature. The use of different and various teaching methods and strategies is necessary in order to motivate the students and let them appreciate its meaning and importance. Though it will truly be a challenge for us, still, it excites and urges us to exert our best effort to produce and make the students achieve our MITIS goals.
