Right now, a growing number of educators and school systems across the world have started shifting to an approach that focuses on what really matters—student learning. This educational strategy and philosophy is called "mastery learning."
As a teacher, it’s THE dream when your students are listening to your lessons and are at the edge of their seats raising their hands to answer your questions. There’s a sense of accomplishment because student understanding lets teachers achieve their lesson goals. When students are engaged in class
There have been mixed reactions since breaking news of cancelled UPSR and PT3 examinations. Students are relieved, teachers are concerned and parents are waiting for news of what’s next. “It’s frustrating, but we look at the bright side. This is about our children’s safety and health. I will just
“Our children are counting on us to provide two things: Consistency and structure…” says Barbara Coloroso, a renowned parenting author of five international bestselling books. One way of building that consistency and structure is in a child’s environment between the two places they spend the most
It all started with an opportunity. We had a leading e-learning platform, access to 4G Internet, and the ability to reach all 10,000 schools in Malaysia. This meant we could give every child in Malaysia access to world-class education regardless of their background. It meant that these children...

One of the primary goals of formal education is to equip students with the skills needed to thrive in work and life. So what skills exactly do students need? In our current era of rapid technological innovation and global connectivity, there has been much discussion about the 4 ‘C’s of 21st...
When we think about the Colosseum of Rome, we naturally feel a sense of awe and wonder. This, and other similar ancient structures are considered by many as models of perfect architecture. What is even more inspiring, is thinking about the people, plans, and steps it took to build these...

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s the one question we’ve all been asked in school. We would answer by writing or drawing our dreams and the results usually range from meaningful to downright funny. Likewise with kids today. Sometimes you even get a different answer every two weeks
When we think of our world today, we think of a world that is ever-changing and constantly evolving. New developments in technology have pushed the boundaries of what we know, offering a plethora of possibilities and redefining our reality. All of which, comes with a measure of change & uncertainty
This week I am thinking of parents who have young children who may have just started school. They will be used to an early years’ classroom environment which is designed to put play at the heart of learning. This doesn’t mean endless rounds of play: rather it recognises that play is a vital part of
Schools came to a sudden close and overnight, the roles of teachers and parents suddenly took a sharp turn. Teachers are now limited to “one-dimensional” interactions with students, and parents are expected to be an ever-present guide for their children during school hours. Navigating the ‘hows and
As schools were closed several weeks ago, suddenly parents were given the job of teaching their own children at home. This is no easy task as parents across the world have discovered, but we are all learning about how to be the best teachers we can. At the University of Birmingham we have students
We live in a time that has caused our children to face situations we have never had to face before. A global pandemic has created new norms like sanitising every two minutes instead of being able to play freely in the playground or not being able to see your friends’ true facial expressions because

“Stop playing in class!” “If you want to play, play during recess!” These were the familiar sayings many of us may have heard from our teachers over the years. Class time was always taught to us as a time to be serious while playtime is reserved for time outside of class. But have we ever asked...
Modest. That was the first thing that came to mind as we interviewed Cikgu Siti Harlina. Our Frog Teacher Award winner this year for ‘Reach for Perfection’ tried to wave away our congratulations. “It seems odd to connect me with the idea of perfection since I am far from being perfect,” she said.
