Abstract

This presentation will start off with a sharing of NIE Singapore’s goal to develop a multiple perspectival mindset in its student teachers. It will go on to elaborate on some of the initiatives that has worked well and how these were severely challenged because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The presentation will end with some postulations of what a post-pandemic NIE could look like and steps it should take to negotiate the uncertainties and yet try to achieve its original goals.
