I suppose there’s no better day than today to pay a tribute to a great group of teachers – my ex-lecturers and tutors at the NIE who patiently guided me through my two-and-half-year Master of Education course. Because of them, I actually changed the way I look at my own students and the way I impart knowledge and skills to them. These inspiring teachers are (not in order of awesomeness):
(1) Dr Theresa Alviar-Martin (Curriculum Theory);
(2) Assoc Prof Deng Zongyi (Critical Perspectives);
(3) Ms Mardiana Abu Bakar (Critical Perspectives);
(4) Ms Betsy Lim (Crafting The Curriculum);
(5) Ms Fong Lay Lean (Crafting The Curriculum);
(6) Dr Christina Lim-Ratnam (Curriculum Implementation);
(7) Dr Fang Yanping (Teacher Knowledge and Teacher Learning);
(8) Mr John Yeo (Teacher Knowledge and Teacher Learning);
(9) Dr Koh Kim Hong (Mastering The Art of Authentic Assessments);
(10) Prof Lam Chi Chung (Programme and Curriculum Evaluation);
(11) Assoc Prof Katerine Bielaczyc (Critical Inquiry).
In my line, I don’t need a Ph.D. But if there’s a good reason to do one, then it has to be the chance to work with them again.
Happy Teachers’ Day.
Sincerely from,
