Looking Good at SKJ5 with Suzani Bt. Awang

Suzani Bt. Awang, TELL2 Participant at SK Jengka 5, has created and executed a brilliant, student-centered lesson plan!  I am delighted that she has taken on some of the ideas from, not only myself, but from Tom James, TELL2 Mentor for Chenor.  Suzani is a model teacher and I am proud to be working beside her.  We can all learn a lesson from her careful planning and devotion to student learning.
