Research and PolicyAs a teacher, I share the view that human beings are innately equipped to explore endlessly, ask questions and be fascinated by the world and other minds around them. Therefore, as an advocate of passionate, curious minds, my teaching goal is to foster learners’ passion and curiosity for knowledge. To achieve this, I aim to engage with learners and share knowledge through technology-driven, research-informed and learner-focused teaching and to assist each learner in developing their own potential and learning methods and critical thinking skills.
