About this Blog /  This blog shares my personal reflections as I apply what I have learned here. Having my children experience two different education approaches has been eye-opening.  They have moved from an instructional model of learning to a student-centric education.  Has that changed them for the better or the worse?  How did that affect their study attitudes?  And as the US addresses their own version of education reformation, what are some of the tactics they have employed in the schools that may be relevant for us in Singapore? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come alongside me as I share our experiences in the US education, and how I processed and struggled with them as a Singaporean parent.

 

Journey with me as we talk through the learning approaches that the US schools used in addressing productivity, stress, innovation, failure, learning etc, and how that may or may not work in the Singapore socio-cultural context.

 

Lastly, hear directly from our panel of experts.  Because by tapping on leading-edge thinkers elsewhere, we can equip ourselves with meaningful information, enlarge our perspective and build capacity to be active participants in building a healthy and innovative learning environment for our country.

 

I believe that true education reform lies not only in the education system but in the hearts and minds of every parent, educator and administrator. So it is so important that we get onto the same page and make a difference in writing our next education chapter.
