GENIE
Project Genie will utilise a three-pronged approach to build up a network of leaders, enhance the quality of educator training with learning journeys and the development of relevant local teaching resources, and fostering sector excellence through collaboration.
A common thread across these initiatives is the opportunities for exchanges among educators working in mainstream primary schools, Special Education (SPED), preschools and early intervention to bring about greater harmonisation across these sectors.
1. A new Professorship in Education to attract top-notch experts in inclusive education to Singapore to nurture local talent, develop research, strengthen practices and contribute to local developments of the sector.
2. The design and implementation of two Leadership Development Programmes for a network and learning community of leaders: Inclusion Matters and Principal Matters Plus, the latter being the first significant collaboration between the NIE and the NIEC.
3. Develop teaching resources tailored to the local context, learning journeys and an in-depth practicum experience for educators through the Lien Foundation’s partner project sites.
