An NIE-Teachers College Symposium on BEYOND EXAMS: Transforming schools in the changing educational landscape in Singapore

The challenges posed by complex educational issues in the face of a changing and uncertain future require school leaders, teachers, students and parents to engage in new ways of thinking, doing and being. This symposium draws on research and practices in school change and leadership from Singapore, the United States and elsewhere to raise questions about teaching, learning and assessment, and challenge assumptions about innovations in education. How can leaders and teachers in schools make sense of current dilemmas and be inspired to reimagine possibilities for the future of education in Singapore? What can schools do to enhance joy and create greater purpose in students’ learning? How do we prepare future-ready learners in schools? How can developments in technology be used to enhance teaching and learning in schools? 
Join us in the inaugural NIE, NTU and Teachers College, Columbia University symposium to discuss the latest issues concerning Singapore schools.
