Here in Singapore, we do an exercise with our Grade 11 students, asking them to visualize their future lives at age 30. COVID-19 rendered the exercise more fraught than usual. Flexibility of thinking may be one of the greatest strengths we can impart to our students at this time... more

The world is suffering from aboutitis, a disease that plagues education. A learner having come down with a case of aboutitis knows a lot about the subject at hand... knows a lot about everything, actually . The situation is grave, for knowledge is virtually useless when divorced from understanding. So how to foster understanding, or the ability to critically think about information and apply it, when we are bombarded with the stuff?... more

If you think about all of the webinars attended, articles read, Zoom conversations had, and new professional learning attained over the past six months, you'll come to understand that it is all rooted in one thing: a deep love of teaching, which comes with it an unquenchable desire to inspire and engage young people.

When I saw Ken Robinson's cleverly animated video about how schools kill creativity in 2007, I knew that my teaching career would never be the same. When Covid hit in 2020, I knew that my administrative career would be changed forever, not only because I had to re-design the logistics of learning, but because the stuff we put into place and the impact it had on culture would not be reversible for a long time.. . more

Feedback. Something teachers provide in abundance but may not necessarily receive enough of. Yet, how ubiquitous is feedback! So much so, we may not even realize how we swim, quite possibly even drown, in feedback loops. From the things we purchase, movies we watch, places we travel, food we eat--it is all being reviewed! But what about teaching and learning? How embedded is the practice of giving and receiving feedback? Infrequent enough for many to consider teaching to be the second most private act. .. more
