Dear Colleagues, We wish you a very prosperous Lunar New Year! At the Teach Less, Learn More (TLLM) Seminar this year, Director-General of Education, Ms Seah Jiak Choo, made the call to schools to nurture a culture of teacher reflection to improve class room practice. She stressed that TLLM is a team effort, towards which teachers, schools and MOE all have a part to play. Let us re-examine what, why and how we teach so that our students will be ready for the future. For our upcoming issues, do you have a good practice or success story in entrepreneurship you want to share? Do drop us a write up at contact_online@moe.edu.sg so that we can share your experience with the larger MOE family! |
