reflect on the efforts done by the external community and the feasibility of those ideas in the Singapore context
build on or adapt from existing internal efforts

Guiding questions:

How can you/your organisation contribute to this solution?
Which stakeholders should be involved, and what roles or actions should they take?
What resources or support do you think you will need?

School Immersion Programme

Researchers to be attached to a school to learn about the needs in education and then collaborate with the teachers in that school for relevant research projects (they can teach a few classes too!)

Language

2024-10-21 11:18:41 UTC

Establish a glossary of terminologies.

Educator-researcher connect

communication to discuss/bridge the differing scale(s) of interest, behavioural vs brain
make the translation more tangible
can bring up unique contextual issues in each education institution
teachers are introduced to latest brain-based finding which could find relevance in our school.
Stakeholders - school leaders, in order to get buy in.
Resources - interested teachers with time / space provided for them to get involved.

Research schools

2024-10-21 11:19:57 UTC

Families that eat together stay together --- Create an environment that educators and researchers work together and talk the same language.

Teacher’s POV

Block out time in a teacher’s timetable for teachers and eg MSL students to meet and share their thoughts/experiences.

MSL Students POV

Neither an educator nor neuroscientist. Immersion in both/research school. Link up both their realities

Short Term - Train the teachers on neuroscience knowledge who will be come Ambassadors for both researchers and teachers.

Long Term - Build a Research Schoolsto produce many more neuroscience trained teachers eventually having a certain percentage of trained teachers given a time frame.

Neuroscientists, educators, school leaders, policy makers

2024-10-21 11:21:39 UTC

Time, technical consultancy to interpret scientific findings

Idea 1 - Growth Mindset

2024-10-21 11:21:47 UTC

Tap on common ground like Growth mindset

Educators' perspectives and understanding of growth mindset might be practices on the ground but actually it is supported by various neuroscientific concepts that can further support/convince/persuade stakeholders to relook at decisions made/perspectives to support growth mindset.
