School Reform
As we increasingly emphasise the importance of developing future-ready outcomes for learners, we will need to also expand new capabilities to measure such outcomes. AI, big data, and analytics are examples of such new capabilities. Ideation is one of six habits of practice we have identified that will prepare students for the future. In this paper, we present a means to computationally appraise ideation quality as one such capability. We have dev…

The role of school leadership in Singapore's future‐ready school reform
In this paper, we propose that successful education needs to fulfil three purposes while being cognisant of time and context: (a) learning, (b) lifework and (c) well‐being. An education system is successful if it can develop future‐ready individuals who will continue to learn beyond graduation, take on future lifework, and thrive in a changing society and environment. The future is context‐situated and context‐dependent. We have chosen to examine…
