Rapid Progress in Pasuruan
Teachers at Pasuruan have made a lot changes even though they only just received their PAKEM training a few weeks earlier. The development that has taken place is not limited to physical changes like children sitting in groups and displays of student work which can be seen in many classes, but can also be seen in the teaching . Many teachers are already routinely implementing active learning through practical activities and asking the children to express themselves in their own words. Some of the schools exhibiting this development are SD Bukir, SD Petamanan, SMP 6 Pasuruan and MTsN Pasuruan.
The Importance of Leadership
One thing that stands out in Pasuruan is the leadership at district and school levels. A visit by MBE coincided with the selection of district facilitators. Many people were involved in this including the conventional and religious school supervisors, the Heads of the Education Office from each sub-district and the Heads of Section from the Education Office. They observed the candidate facilitators teaching in their schools. Even the Head of the Education Office Bpk Ulum dropped into to observe the selection of the facilitators.
The commitment of education management at district level was mirrored in schools by the principals and teachers who are working hard to develop the quality of education.
TEAMWORK IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS AT PASURUAN!
