Education: Jihad Against Zombification!”
“Do you guys know any Zombie movies?” I asked our students this morning. “Zombi Kampung Pisang!” one of the sisters replied. “Zombieland!” another one responded. And the list went on and on. “What are the similar characters you realize among those Zombies?” I continued asking them more questions. The students did not respond immediately. They …. Read More

Teach Less, Learn More!
Algebra was already taught in Primary School. Proverbs were already part of Malay Language syllabus when our children were only 8 years old; age when abstract thinking was still distance away from the proper cognitive to understand metaphore. Mubtada’ and khabar which the teachers used to learn when they were in Secondary School, are now …. Read More
KMSS in 2015, Insha-Allah!
I was not instructed to design any specific kind of change. The only thing the BOD put their trust on me, is to do whatever is needed to achieve the school vision, and run it according to the full Khalifah Method. But, my first question is, what do I understand about Khalifah Method?

Transformasi Finland dan Dilema Kita di Sini

Ramai juga yang menjadi pesimis, sinikal dan negatif, hingga kita hendak menyatakan simpati pun turut sama dimarahi dengan ungkapan “engkau tahu apa masalah kami?” Saya doakan kesejahteraan buat semua guru.
Pengajar Yang Belajar
Di dalam Halaqah Guru ketujuh yang ringkas pagi ini, saya kongsikan dengan rakan-rakan guru di #KMSS tentang pentingnya kita membaca tentang bidang masing-masing lebih daripada sekadar aplikasi hariannya. Seorang jurutera akan lebih menghayati bidangnya jika dia mengetahui tentang falsafah dan sejarah bidangnya, perbahasan ilmuan terdahulu dalam bidang berkenaan, bagaimana terbentuknya teori-teori yang dipakai hari ini… Semua itu ….

Berminggu-minggu kepala saya rasa nak pecah bermain dengan algorithm bagi merombak sistem pembelajaran di Khalifah Model School – Secondary. Tahun hadapan, pelajar akan diberikan sistem baru yang mana mereka akan memilih kelas mana mereka hendak masuk dan subjek mana mereka hendak ambil berdasarkan jadual subjek yang ditawarkan.
