On top of reminding students to do their part to social distance and maintain their hygiene, we also need to role model these changes. Help students to embrace the new normal and have the “we” mentality instead of just “me”.

# data[].attributes.body
Remind the pupils to do their part in social distancing and hygiene, not forgetting to do it ourselves. Encourage pupils to learn through online portals for revision to keep up with their learning. This pandemic taught us to be prepared for changes in teaching, so that we can be anytime anywhere ready.

I believe we’ve seen worry and even fear in the eyes of our students as this pandemic cast a persistent, dark and grey cloud of uncertainty over us all. A dangerous and naïve thing for us to do now is to simply declare, “let’s accept this as a new normal”. To a certain extent, it is important, in order to bring order to our current turbulence. However, as what the World Economic Forum has aptly pointed out- evoking the “new normal” does not allow us to deal with the totality of our present reality.

As educators to our pupils, this period is an opportune time for them to exhibit their bravery, resilience and teamwork. While they are navigating in this storm bravely, they know we are their lighthouse; to guide, share their worries and offer timely assistance. We are, and always will be, their safe haven.

As educators in the fraternity, it is a crucial time to support one another and be open to unconventional approaches to help our students.

I envision a post-pandemic Singapore where all of us emerge united. Battled, but not beaten.

In order to ensure the continuity of quality teaching and learning in the post-pandemic world, we can remain positive and forward-thinking in creating and adapting the available resources to suit the needs of our pupils while inculcating values of resilience and solidarity .

Many of us have learnt not to take things for granted. We have learnt to appreciate one another more.
As an educator, we can always be a good role model for our children by showing compassion and tolerance to others.

The role of a teacher in a young student's life goes beyond education. We must create  a positive and inspiring environment where our students can do their very best. We must let our students know that it is alright to make mistakes. However, they must be able to learn from their mistakes.

The Covid-19 disruption is a reminder not to take things for granted . Most of all, it allows us to internalise and practise the values of compassion and empathy in our own ways, big or small.

Being educators, we can help to build up the values in our pupils. To be kind and compassionate towards people who are less fortunate. To be resilience during the pandemic. To be responsible in whatever they do.

The pandemic has changed the way we carry out our daily lives, and for us particularly, in the way we teach. There is a sudden and unprecedented need for education to go online, and for most of us, although using technology in teaching is not something totally new to us, we are in constant need to adapt our working life and ways around it. Among us, there are those who struggled with this, and I feel that at this point of time it is important for us to check-in on each other and provide support to one another. It also reveals to us, that perhaps as educators, we need to constantly be updated with teaching using technological tools, and maximizing its potential.

# data[].attributes.body
During this trying period, not only we as educators are adapting to new teaching method and strategies, our pupils are also making changes to their learning habits and become stronger persons. They have learnt about being responsible and resilience. Many have learnt to embrace the changes and this help us to face the challenges that post-pandemic Singapore has positively. As the saying goes, if we want to see rainbow, we will need to tolerate the rain. We must stay positive and learn to dance in the rain.

Let us learn how to change mindsets and embrace changes in a calm way. We may not have any answers and the uncharted waters is right ahead. It is alright that you do not know and need to learn or even re-learn. More often, many of us thought that others are coping well and you are the only one having issues. This is not true. There is strength in numbers. Let us continue to brave any storms together.

# data[].attributes.body
I guess it's important for us, teachers, to be role models, not the perfect models but also to admit our fears and negative emotions, and share these with our pupils. From there they can also see how we react and handle the challenges we face when we have negative emotions, especially during this pandemic. We have always tried to share with/teach/tell our pupils to rise up to challenges or adverse changes and they sometimes see teachers as "saints" so it's important that we role model the HOW to them.

As we embark on a new era, a modern history post-pandemic generation will emerge. As teachers, we have to very quickly adopt and adapt to new norms and embrace technology so that we can continue to serve our students such that they will not be a lost generation. As teachers, we must also be seen as leaders who can provide our students with a safe and secure learning environment. To be able to do all these as the role of teachers changes with the new normal, teachers must be resilient and teachers must continue to learn new skills and pedagogies to remain relevant so that our charges can continue to learn and grow. Teachers are therefore both servant-leaders and learners.

The way we have done schooling during the pandemic really sets us reflecting about how the pupils learn and the way we teach. Take, for example, the curriculum time of the pupils. In a matter of a few months, the pandemic has changed the conventions of curriculum time for pupils. Instead of a normal school day, they can be learning or not much at all through a learning platform. In charting the way ahead as educators, we need to reflect and work out the most effective ways (what, when and how) of using remote teaching and learning for pupils and teachers. This would inevitably lead us to rethink our use of digital tools and teaching strategies to teach better and, as educators, how can we use online tools or videoconference platforms flexibly for rich sharings among teachers or even engage parents to support their children’s learning? It is not a question of ‘can or not’. We have no choice. We have to be part of the driving force in envisioning the post-pandemic Singapore.

# data[].attributes.body
We have to stay positive and embrace whatever challenges that come our way.
Having and giving strong support to one another will definitely make the journey an easier one.

Take the lead in embracing the new norms and exploring new possibilities. What we previously thought was impossible or too challenging may well be the way to go now. We are also stronger in unity. In teams, we supported one another through HBL. Likewise, we will do so for future initiatives necessary for us to move on. Seek help when unsure. Provide help when ready. Stronger together...

# data[].attributes.body
During this difficult time, we are able to witness the beautiful things which many of us could do, like to help the less privileged although now and then, we heard the ugly things which was committed during this crisis. Many of these unsung heroes have brought positivities to our life and it motivates us to move on.

The condition of our natural environment has also improved when it was also able given time and space to rest during this period of time while people are home-bound. I hope this reminds us to be kinder to our environment when we can get contact with it again.

Quote from Albert Einstein - In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity. We should influence our students to look at problems in a different angle. Sometimes we are tested not to show our weaknesses but to discover our strengths. We, teachers as well as the pupils have learnt and grown a lot from the Covid-19 pandemic. It's important for us to seize the opportunity of learning during this trying times. I believe if we stay positive, we will sure emerge stronger.

# data[].attributes.body
As educators and role models, we have to first be the change that we want to see in our students- be it more resilient, more adaptable, more empathetic etc. This pandemic has indeed been a good opportunity to reflect on ourselves and come up with creative ways to overcome hurdles.

Be resilient - For years, we have defined resilience as staying strong amidst the adversity.   Actually, in these uncertain times,  resilience means more of whether one has the courage to admit vulnerability and seek help.  Resilience to me is also about recharging after tough times.

Communication - Under such uncertain times, open communication and robust idea  -exchanges are crucial.  Are we able to turn our assemblies from top-down ideas / values cascading sessions into bottoms-up initiatives or even townhall sessions (where the student population question the SLs, Excos and Teschers on the rationale of School Rules and Policies?  Such sessions will be rich training ground for students to enhance their confidence of delivering across their ideas and to deliver their ideas across both assertively and constructively.

Stop espousing that dangerous notion of studying hard to get a stable and safe job to our future generations.    Instead, we should constantly inculcate and role-model the importance of the growth mindset to our kids.   In their lifetimes, they may have to completely unlearn and relearn new skillsets at various stages of their adult working life.  Who knows they may even have to learn to start their own businesses if jobs are hard to come by.

We have to stay positive and be open-minded to changes. Be ready to learn and re-learn to keep up to date with the latest development in society.
We have to work even more collaboratively in difficult times. More minds, more ideas and more support to solve different issues together. We cannot work alone. No one should be left behind. Together as a team then we can achieve more to help our pupils to learn and prepare them for the future.

As an educator, we are now placed a VUCA world and we have to think ahead and continue to be an "Everyday hero/heroine" (quoted from my student who said teachers are the everyday heroes like frontliners) in our profession. After this pandemic, everyone of us is willing to try new things and can adapt to new changes when we are asked to, in order to make a difference for our students. If we show that we can be a role model of resilience, students will try hard too. As such, being open-minded to new challenges and enjoy learning new things every day to enrich our lives will eventually form a rainbow.

Covid has turned the world upside down and exposed the weakness of different existing system. On the bright side, it is also a opportunity for us to re-look, reflect and reinvent our current system and build stronger system. As educators, this is a great opportunity for us to reinvent ourselves, equip ourselves with more variety of skills that we didn't know will come in handy during covid-19 situation. Like video making, screen recording, excel sheets for data collecting etc.

It is also a great time to re-examine our priorities as educators: are we spending our time wisely nurturing the kids, learning/inventing new pedagogy or are we slowly off track without us knowing.

# data[].attributes.body
As educators, I suppose we could re-think ways to teach that promote more independent learning and how we can better leverage our IT skills to bring about effective teaching in this post pandemic Singapore.

Continue to play the multiple roles we have been taking on. Be adaptable when facing uncertainties. Have a positive mindset ... from "Impossible" to "I'm possible".

Everyone will be experiencing different things in their lives that are happening or how their lives have been affected due to the current situation.

Therefore, interaction and check-ins with one another, regardless of the mode, has never been more important! We can do this whenever possible with our pupils and remind them that they should also do the same even with their own parents who may be going through a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
With the common experiences that we have gained during this pandemic, we can learn to be more compassionate and sensitive to how others may respond to challenges differently. We can grow to be more empathetic and render our help in little ways, from lending a listening ear to offering practical solutions. Something that cannot be understated is mental health and fortunately, there has been increased awareness of it.. I think especially during these trying times, those who may need more support in this aspect would need more concerted help not just from the non-profit organisations, but also from members of the community. Hopefully, as we reach out to our family and friends, we can each effectively do our part to overcome the crisis (and any future crises) together. :)

We should reiterate to peers and pupils the importance of preserving our physical and mental health so we can do our best in our respective areas.

Priorities are anchored by our values as educators and I don't see a significant change. What has and will continue to evolve is the need to quickly adopt different effective ways of delivering and communicating.
For example:
- Start by checking health and    psychological impact to students.
-Create opportunities for students
to use HBL
- Develop HBL programmes

It is a good opportunity for us to reflect and work on our weaknesses.

We can be the ones who help the current generation embrace this possible 'new normal'. Attached to these new normal, are many different values that we can hopefully get the pupils to experience and internalise in school and hopefully bring back to their homes. An example would be patience, social responsibility, setting priorities, taking care of the older generation, showing gratitude especially to unsung heroes etc.
