The other guest were teachers from SD AL Muslim Surabaya, Rr. Martiningsih. In 2013 she received first place as Surabaya’s Top Achiever Teacher from the City Mayor of Surabaya.

The fourth guest was  Fifi Anggraini Donohadi, M.Pd. She Has been a teacher since 1996 and a IBYP trainer since 2008. Currently she is working as PYP Coordinator together with Ms. Early Kurnia at Sekolah Victory Plus, Bekasi, and actievly participates in IBYP training in Schools in South East Asia.

This conference was really Interesting.  It started on Friday, 13 June 2014 until Saturday, 14 June 2014.

At. 7:30 am– 3:00 pm.   There were  four sessions. The topic of Session 1 was “Developing effective assessments” by Mr. Greg Reid.  The Topic of Session 2 was “Authentic Assessment”  by Ms. Fifi and Ms. Early. After that they informed us about what’s new from ICAS. Session 3 was unforgetable moment, because the presenter (Ms. Rr. Martiningsih from surabaya) was really funny.

The last session was about “Assesing higher-order thinking (HOT) skills”. On Saturday, 14 June 2014 it was about “Otimising educational outcomes through effective school-based assessment (SBA)”.  Session 2 was about “An introduction into the principles of effective Assessment”. Session 3 was “Using ICAS result to inform teaching and understanding data analysis”. The last session was” Building assessment for learning communities”.

 There is a benefit of joining this conference,  we can make a good relation with other teachers also sharing about our experience. It also really inspires us to be good teacher and improves our teaching and learning methods.

Thank you…
