Description

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.
