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
