In January, 2012, Tom Daccord was invited by the Ministry of Education in Singapore to serve as Outstanding Educators in Residence, working with educators from across the system to examine 21st century learning and technology integration. In this session, Tom will share his experience working with teachers, school leaders, educational technology administrators, and ministry leaders. Participants will understand:
-The signature strengths of the Singapore system: clear instructional goals, an aligned and coherent system, sophisticated talent development, an ICT mentor program, and a culture of continuous improvement.
-How these key ideas can be adapted within U.S schools and districts.
