Well, we are definitely back into classes. This is week four and quizzes and tests are the norm. My class size settled down as 35 and for the most part they are great students.
I am in the middle of 10 TPA's. Teacher Performance Appraisals. Here at Taylors each teacher gets reviewed once a year, where in Canada, it is every five years. One is too short, and the other too long. Two or 3 years would be a good choice.
Other than that, not much to report on except we had a 3 day vacation to Kuching which is in east Malaysia. We visited a great cultural village, similar to Upper Canada Village but much larger and more diverse. We then visited the orangutans in the wild and saw about 8 of them, including 2 babies.
We visited the city of Kuching (almost a million) and had a tour. It was the start of their festival and their was a regatta on as well. Kuching is billed as the second cleanest city in Asia next to Singapore, and I would have to agree.
Some of our students met us on Saturday night and showed us around the festival grounds. They all head to Canada in the next few weeks, most to U of Toronto. I will upload some photos over the next week.
TTYL,
Jim
