"In a frank contemplation as she nears the end of her shortened course of life, educator Sie Siok Hui reveals moments of epiphany while honing her craft and examines critical factors in the curriculum design process. With inimitable candour, she probes education issues and calls for compassionate awareness of the challenges Singapore students and teachers face. This is a must-read not only for teachers, curriculum designers and educational leaders, but also anyone who wishes to catch a glimpse of the heart and mind of an educator who was intentional in the choice of institutions to teach in because she always wanted to know more."

Review

"Ms Sie speaks to us from beyond, sharing heartfelt stories, moving anecdotes and sharp pedagogical insights in her authentic, understated, ever-concerned voice. Her observations of the Singapore education system, pedagogical scholarship and tips on what works are valuable for all involved in teaching, mentoring, nurturing — they come from someone who gave her life to education, in the fullest sense of the word." -- Sim Chi Yin, first Asian Nobel Peace Prize photographer, Magnum photographer and doctoral researcher
"Learning is hard work. Teaching is even harder. This enlightening book reveals a teacher's personal journey and why so often teaching is a demanding vocation. It elucidates the author's authentic teaching and learning experiences, both as an educator and learner. A Teacher's Race Course will no doubt get teachers to reflect on where 'the course of the race' is leading." -- James Lim, Ed. D Senior Lecturer, Nanyang Technological University

"This is more than just a book on teaching and of being a teacher. It's a reflection of what it means to be an educator, to be human. It's about bringing out the best in another person and in yourself." -- Lim Peng Soon, Ed. D, President, Learning & Performance Systems
