Welcome back to<br />

Sekolah Pelita Bangsa<br />

Dear readers,<br />

It had been a fantastic first semester in<br />

the academic year of <strong>2018</strong>-2019 and I<br />

am very excited to welcoming the new<br />

year and the second semester.<br />

The school has been very busy since<br />

the beginning of the academic year. We<br />

started several new exciting programs in<br />

our school, including Character Program,<br />

MyON literacy adoption, and HSK testing<br />

center. We also reformed our Science Fair<br />

and Fire & Earthquake Drill procedure<br />

this year.<br />

Lastly, we closed <strong>2018</strong> with book<br />

donation and buddy reading program<br />

to a local public school. Thank you<br />

to parents and students for donating<br />

books; we collected and distributed 178<br />

wonderful books to SDN Karyamulya 2.<br />

I am thrilled with more programs coming<br />

up semester II and we are ready to<br />

work together to prepare students for<br />

the upcoming Cambridge and National<br />

exams.<br />

Our SMA Pelita Bangsa (S4-JC2) went<br />

through the accreditation process; and<br />

with the continuous support from all<br />

teachers, staff, students and parents,<br />

we received the highest predicate A by<br />

PARENTING TIPS<br />

7 Science-Backed Things You Must Do<br />

to Raise Successful Kids<br />

By Bill Murphy Jr.<br />

Welcoming ceremony<br />

Speech by Mr. H. Arifin Hamid, SH, MM<br />

Speech by Mr. Drs. H. Jaja Sulaeman, M. Pd<br />

Prosecutors & Principals<br />

"We are what we repeatedly do," said<br />

Aristotle. "Excellence then, is not an<br />

act, but a habit."<br />

It's true, whether we're talking about<br />

ourselves our children.<br />

Recently, we explored how wealthy<br />

parents give their kids a giant advantage,<br />

simply by raising them in more privileged<br />

neighborhoods. (Not every reader loved<br />

that idea. Some on Facebook called it a<br />

recipe for snobbishness or insecurity.<br />

Others bemoaned wealth segregation.<br />

Others said, like it or not, it's backed by<br />

research--and it makes good sense.)<br />

OK, fair enough. Let's set that aside, and<br />

focus instead on seven other things that<br />

almost every parent can do for their kids<br />

every single day, to give them more of an<br />

edge.<br />

Writing at Tech Insider, Rachel Gillett<br />

and Drake Baer have put together a<br />

great compendium of researchedbacked<br />

advice. Their article is well worth<br />

reading.<br />

Step one, obviously, should be to check<br />

out my free e-book on the subject: How<br />

to Raise Successful Kids. It's free, and<br />

you can download it here. But beyond<br />

that, here's what parents should do every<br />

single day for their kids--regardless of<br />

wealth, status, or personality.


1. Make your kids do chores.<br />

Take out the garbage, mow the lawn, do the<br />

dishes--they're not just ways to make your<br />

life easier, they're ways to make your kids'<br />

lives better, too.<br />

"By making them do chores ... they realize,<br />

'I have to do the work of life in order to be<br />

part of life,'" Julie Lythcott-Haims, a former<br />

Stanford University dean and the author of<br />

How to Raise an Adult, told Tech Insider.<br />

Related: Be an "authoritative" parent, rather<br />

than an authoritarian or a permissive one.<br />

Create a world in which your child "grows<br />

up with a respect for authority, but doesn't<br />

feel strangled by it."<br />

2. Teach them social skills.<br />

Have you ever worked with socially<br />

awkward people? It'll probably be no<br />

surprise to you to learn then that a 20-year<br />

study at Penn State and Duke found that<br />

kids with good social skills turned out<br />

to be more successful.<br />

"Socially competent children who could<br />

cooperate with their peers without<br />

prompting, be helpful to others, understand<br />

their feelings, and resolve problems on<br />

their own, were far more likely to earn a<br />

college degree and have a full-time job<br />

by age 25 than those with limited social<br />

skills," Gillett and Baer wrote.<br />

3. Teach and demonstrate<br />

high educational expectations.<br />

We're combining two practices here,<br />

but they're related. First, a University of<br />

Michigan study finds that if you want your<br />

kids to go to college, present yourself as<br />

a good role model by making sure you<br />

finish your education first. Meantime,<br />

make it clear that you expect them to study<br />

through college, too.<br />

"Parents who saw college in their child's<br />

future seemed to manage their child<br />

toward that goal irrespective of their<br />

income and other assets," says UCLA<br />

professor Neal Halfon, who studied data<br />

from 6,600 kids born in 2001.<br />

4. Teach them to develop<br />

good relationships.<br />

We've all heard of parents whose<br />

marriages were failing but who decided<br />

to stay together for the sake of the kids.<br />

That might be admirable, but it matters<br />

more that they have good relationships<br />

with each parent, and with siblings<br />

(if they have any).<br />

First, a study at the University of Illinois<br />

showed that it matters more that kids<br />

grow up in a home without conflict<br />

among their peers and siblings than that<br />

their parents are together. And second,<br />

a study of children born into poverty<br />

reported that "children who received<br />

'sensitive caregiving' in their first three<br />

years" of life did better in school, and then<br />

had "healthier relationships and greater<br />

academic attainment in their 30s," Gillett<br />

and Baer wrote.<br />

6. Teach them to try. And not to worry<br />

about failing (or much else).<br />

You've probably read about the idea of<br />

adopting a growth mindset versus a fixed<br />

or scarcity mindset. Short version: For<br />

your kids, you want a growth mindset.<br />

You want them to view failure, which<br />

happens to all of us, as a chance to learn<br />

and grow--not as an ending. In other<br />

words, don't worry.<br />

More than that, try to control your level of<br />

stress, or at least to control the extent to<br />

which they perceive your stress.<br />

7. Show them work ethic<br />

and achievement.<br />

If you want your kids to behave a certain<br />

way, the most likely way to make it happen<br />

is to model good behavior.<br />

(The second most effective way might be<br />

to model really bad behavior and let them<br />

learn from your mistakes. But I'm going to<br />

suggest the first idea.)<br />

Moreover, a Harvard Business School<br />

study shows that kids who grow up with<br />

working moms have advantages over<br />

those who don't. As Gillett and Baer wrote,<br />

"The study found daughters of working<br />

mothers went to school longer, were more<br />

likely to have a job in a supervisory role,<br />

and earned more money -- 23 percent<br />

more compared to their peers who were<br />

raised by stay-at-home mothers."<br />

There is no such thing as a complete list.<br />

Gillett and Baer have a few other researchbased<br />

recommendations, too. I take issue<br />

with two of them, for different reasons.<br />

First, they cite the finding that kids with<br />

higher socioeconomic status tend to do<br />

better than those without. Of course that<br />

makes sense, but it's not really something<br />

you can simply decide you're going to<br />

change overnight.<br />

Second, like virtually every other trendy<br />

article on this subject, they recommend<br />

teaching "grit," defined as the "tendency<br />

to sustain interest in and effort toward<br />

very long-term goals." While that's<br />

virtuous in a vacuum, I think we're<br />

going to find as a society that the way<br />

we teach grit omits something serious:<br />

the ability to maintain motivation while<br />

simultaneously, continuously reevaluating<br />

your goals.<br />

OK. Now it's your turn. What additional<br />

daily habits do you think parents need<br />

to embrace if they want their kids to be<br />

successful? Or do you take issue with any<br />

of the ones listed above? Let us know in<br />

the comments below.<br />

The emphasis of this training is on<br />

teaching the language through texts<br />

using guided discovery. It is a real<br />

challenge for English teachers to teach<br />

the rudiments of the language like<br />

grammar and vocabulary, but with this<br />

approach, teaching and learning English<br />

can be maximized as this also covers the<br />

macro-language skills making it more<br />

meaningful for the students.<br />

Why present language from a text?<br />

It puts the language in a clear context,<br />

enabling students to understand and<br />

use language correctly and develop<br />

their receptive skills. Why use a Guided<br />

discovery approach?<br />

First, it is student-centred and can help<br />

avoid the use of potentially long and<br />

confusing explanations by the teacher.<br />

Secondly, with this approach, the<br />

learners take an active role and work at<br />

their own pace. Then, this encourages<br />

peer teaching and sharing of ideas. Thus,<br />

the effort involved in guided discovery<br />

makes the learning process clearer and<br />

more memorable.<br />

on how to conduct IGCSE - AS/A level<br />

speakers; Aileen Acabado, Timothy Lim,<br />

and Anthea Calista.<br />

as key time, code, syllabus and many<br />

more, followed by making entries via<br />

online (CIE direct), teacher assessment<br />

(invigilator), and eligibility in the exam<br />

day. After the presentation the speakers<br />

invited participants for an open<br />

discussion.<br />

On the second day, they started to get<br />

a hands on practice which started from<br />

preparation stage, followed by making<br />

entries in CIE direct, and how to set<br />

the exam seating position in different<br />

circumstances; for practical exam,<br />

speaking exam or writing exam.<br />

Later they also discussed solutions for<br />

several challenging scenarios that might<br />

happen in the real examination process<br />

to ensure a neat and orderly conduct.<br />

Beside learning about Cambridge<br />

examinations, this training served as<br />

an opportunity to connect with fellow<br />

teachers from other regions, such<br />

as Bandung, Cirebon, Jakarta, Bogor,<br />

Tanggerang, and Pekanbaru.
