MGMP (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran) itself is a club that held by teachers in the same subject and same grade in which they teach. There are a lot of purpose and benefit if we join this teacher club. The teachers from different schools are gathered and they could do some brainstorming about anything related to their subjects. Every teacher could speak out their ideas and problems to be solved together. In every district in each province will have their own MGMP. Every club also has their own theme in each gathering. MGMP itself had already become a must to joined by the teachers. It is well-structured, eventually it held every three month. Every gathering has different theme, purpose and activities.

Nevertheless MGMP have duties and responsibilities in helping to improve the quality of education through improved teacher competence, such as those which written in Government Regulation No. 38 of 1992 concerning educational personnel Chapter XIII, Article 61 paragraph (1) which states that educational staff can form a bond profession as a container to improve and / or develop careers, skills, professional authority, dignity and welfare of teachers to achieve educational goals in an optimal fashion.

If  I were the member of teacher  club, I would like to bring  discussion further more about SBI or international level of schooling, not just to promote but also to understand how to run international level of schooling well. I would hold a routine gathering which bring international level of schooling theme. I will of course, invite one or two or more experts to become our speaker in the gathering. By that time, we could do some discussion and direct action to implement how to support teaching learning process in international level of schooling as our activity.

This kind of theme should be held occasionally so that the member of the teacher will get use to it. After that, I will also discuss what I have got from the discussion to my school where I work. I would like to share information to the headmaster, other teachers and another worker of the school and do some real action. I don’t mind  about how much time and money I would pay as long as I can fully understand about what is international level of schooling actually is and do my very best action so that later, I could become a good influence to others.
