The

started. There were 80 students, 8 teachers, with Mr. Sunone Sonsarn as the
first principal teacher. School on 14 July 1999, opened by HE Uraiwan Thiantong
(Director of the Office of Management Local education) at that time was
president. At that time until 2011, the school keeps expanding rooms, from 13
to 72 rooms and built a new school building, 1 upper secondary school. And
today, there are more than 300teachers including foreign teachers and 3000
students in this school.
2. Academic support system
CRMS6 Lower secondary school has 7 buildings, there are EP
Program Building, Science-Math Program Building, Economic Building, Swimming
Pool, Gymnasium, Library, Laboratory. And another building such as
Hotel/meeting room, toilets, cafeteria, Chinese center, and M1 building.
In the classroom, they have a long whiteboard, a projector,
microphone, and speaker. Every classroom has complete facilities to support
learning activities. The students also will feel comfortable because they can
choose their own seat and in every class has AC (Air Conditioner), and in the
back of the class, there are board information and space for student’s
creativity. So, they can express their creativity in the classroom. Besides
that, in every class have many kinds of books and magazines and a place for
Learning Support Assistant Teacher. The class is enough and comfortable for ±35
students and LS Assistant Teacher.
The student should take off their shoes and put them in
front of their classroom. The students forbid to use their phone and collect
all of it to the LS. To support zero waste, the students bring their own bottle
and the school provided water refill. Then, when a student buys foods or
beverages at the cafeteria, the seller will put them in a bowl or glass. This
school is not allows to use plastics.
3. Teaching System
Learning days in CMRS6 held for 5 days from Monday to
Friday. Students should come at 7.30 am and start to do the flag ceremony at
8.00 am. and the lesson begins at 8.30 am until 4.00am. They have 9 periods, every
period is 50 minutes.
I’m teaching in lower secondary school, and there are two
programs in this school, which are, SM Plus (Science-Math Concentration
Program) and EP Plus (Special English Program). And in upper secondary school,
there are 4 courses are taught,
·
SM-Plus
course (intensive science-mathematics course)
·
ME
Plus Course (Intensive Mathematics – English Program)
·
MSc
Course (Preparing students for further medical studies And health science)
·
ESc
courses (courses prepare students for further study in engineering And
technology science)
As written before, every class has space for learning
support assistant teacher that always stays in class with a student. They are a
graduate student teacher and their job is checking the student’s attendance,
reporting the student’s activity to their parents, they’re a connector between
students and parents, taking care of all students in a classroom, and help
students to study and even translating.
4. Materials and other learning
sources
In the English Program, the students will learn with a
foreign teacher and Thai Teacher. English is one of a subject that they’re
learning with both of them but of course in a different period. So, the books
that will be used are different between English with a foreign teacher and English
with a Thai teacher. Besides the book, teachers also need other references such
as the internet and make a worksheet to support learning materials. Sometimes,
Youtube really helped us to construct the material.
5. Measurement and evaluation system
Evaluation system in this school there is a mid-term
semester and end-term semester test. Every teacher has their own evaluation. In
English, the students also get a point (score) from worksheet, quiz, work group
and plus point as their score. But officially, the students will be evaluated
twice each semester for every subject. The teachers are responsibility for all
the score that.
6. General Curriculum
The curriculum used by CRMS6 or Chiang Rai Municipality School 6 especially in English Program
is Thai Basic Education Core Curriculum B.E. 2551 which started in 2008 until
now. The Basic Education Core Curriculum is aimed at enhancing the capacity of
all learners, who constitute the major force of the country, so as to attain
balanced development in all respects—physical strength, knowledge, and
morality. They will fully realize their commitment and responsibilities as Thai
citizens as well as members of the world community. Adhering to a democratic
form of government under a constitutional monarchy, they will be endowed with
basic knowledge and essential skills and favorable attitude towards further
education, livelihood, and lifelong learning. The learner-centered approach is
therefore strongly advocated, based on the conviction that all are capable of
learning and self-development to their highest potentiality.
7. Teaching plan (English)
Making a lesson plan is not an obligation of a teacher in
here. My mentor said that professional teacher keeps their lesson plan on their
mind. Actually, we need to construct our lesson before going to teach. The
lesson plan that my mentor showed, is the simple version of a lesson plan which
consists only 2-3 pages per meeting. It is totally different from Indonesia
because in Indonesia we have complex lesson plan which consist of more than 10
pages and that’s for one topic. Here is my lesson plan that actually I
construct by myself.
