Industrial Attachment for Senior Lecturer from Centre for Life Skills at Temasek Polytechnic
CPC maintains close ties with the polytechnics from which many SIT students originate. As part of this approach, we welcome collaboration with polytechnic colleagues. Ms Shirley Joseph, Senior Lecturer and Senior Academic Mentor at the Centre for Life Skills at Temasek Polytechnic, recently embarked on a four-month industrial attachment with CPC. A seasoned tertiary educator, Ms Joseph is passionate about sharing her experience in teaching and engaging students. During her attachment at CPC, she conducts classes with undergraduates, provides curriculum advice to CPC, and mentors new colleagues.
CAC Immersion for Lecturers from the School of Life Skills & Communication (LSC), Singapore Polytechnic (SP)
Two CPC faculty members, Senior Lecturers Chris Bedwell and Nazarene Ibrahim, are working on a knowledge and expertise exchange project with lecturers from LSC, SP. The project aims to encourage both parties to learn and understand the communication challenges that students face before and during their time at university. The exchange of knowledge and skills expertise will be beneficial in course design, pedagogy and assessment in both spheres.
IWSP Corporate Coaching & Mentoring Programme
Dr. Lee Chien Ching was the trainer of the IWSP Coaching and Mentoring Workshop (Day 2), organised by NACE@ SIT.
Participants gained insights into how to craft learning outcomes and the principles of good assessment in workplace training and learning. They learned how to design simple rubrics to assess competencies, including technical and transferable skills, and how they can add value to the workplace as workplace trainers based on SIT’s applied learning model and the workplace learning framework.
