Throughout my career, I have been deeply inspired by the work of educators like Sir Ken Robinson, whose advocacy for creativity in education and the importance of personalized learning has profoundly shaped my view of teaching. His belief that education should foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for learning resonated with me deeply and continues to guide my teaching philosophy.
Another key influence on my approach to education is the publication "Facing the Future: The Arts and Education in Hong Kong" (1998), published by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. This work emphasizes the integral role that the arts play in developing a student's creativity, critical thinking, and holistic understanding of the world. It serves as a reminder that education should be multifaceted, incorporating not just academics but also cultural and artistic experiences that shape a student's ability to think creatively and engage with the world around them.
These inspirations continue to fuel my commitment to education, shaping how I approach teaching and how I support fellow educators in creating impactful learning experiences.
