CURRICULUM
The curriculum for Junior High School uses the revised 2013 Curriculum 206 which in the 2018-2019 Academic Year has fully been implemented from grade 7 to 9. Then, as one of the Cambridge International Schools, they applied learning material based on the Cambridge curriculum with the main subjects: Mathematics, Science, and English, using the Cambridge checkpoint assessment for the 3rd year. As one of the junior high schools included in the Pilot School for Character Strengthening Education (PPK), they used the character building formation with a license from 7 Habits - Steven Covey where their school has reached the stage of The Leader in school.
Mathematics Teaching Plan
The teaching plan for SMP Pelita Nusantara was in in line with the spiral curriculum.
It had a format consisting of the standard parts of a teaching plan: objectives, resources, activities, discussions, visual materials and teacher aid.
It differed from the teaching plan we have in the Philippines such that it looked more like a syllabus than our lesson plan in my country - because commonly in the Philippines, we have a bullet-formed lesson plan (not a columned one).
​
Also, since Cambridge Mathematics was only taught once a week, we only produced one lesson plan for the whole week, in the Philippines, we make lesson plans for the whole week - one per day/meeting
