TEACHER'S RACE COURSE, A: RUMINATIONS AND REFLECTIONS

by Siok Hui Sie

"In a frank contemplation as she nears the end of her shortened course of life, educator Sie Siok Hui reveals moments of epiphany while honing her craft and examines critical factors in the curriculum design process. With inimitable candour, she probes education issues and calls for compassionate awareness of the challenges Singapore students and teachers face. This is a must-read not only for teachers, curriculum designers and educational leaders, but also anyone who wishes to catch a glimpse of the heart and mind of an educator who was intentional in the choice of institutions to teach in because she always wanted to know more."

A book that reminds us the value of education and what it means to passionately serve. Ms Sie taught in my high school (though I never had the privilege of being taught by her) but through her anecdotes she managed to pen down in her books, she offers a glimpse into how pivotal an educator can be.

- every child is valued
- believe in life long learning as an enabler of success
- when teaching takes place, it does not necessarily mean learning happens
- learn to reflect
