On Competition Day, participants will first learn how to use the Moo-V app,

Dr Kiren Kaur d/o Ratan Singh
Senior Lecturer
National Institute of Education - English Language & Literature
| |
Dr Kiren Kaur began her career about 25 years ago as a teacher in a primary school, holding various positions within the school she taught in.
Now a teacher educator at the National Institute of Education (NIE) in Singapore, she is the programme leader for the Postgraduate Diploma in Education Curriculum English (Primary) program.
Being at NIE has allowed Kiren the opportunity to view the teaching and learning continuum from a theoretical to practical perspective.
Her doctorate dissertation work examined formative assessment enactment within primary schools in Singapore.
Kiren's current teaching and research areas are related to literacy, pedagogy, differentiated instruction and assessment for young learners within the primary school context.
The bulk of her teaching, publications and projects with schools are in these areas, specifically in teaching listening, speaking, reading, writing and in building assessment literacy.
Kiren has shared on these areas at conferences, workshops and various sharing sessions within and outside of Singapore.
She has also been involved in judging projects at national and international competitions. In 2016 and 2021, Kiren received the NIE Excellence in Teaching Commendation Award.
Although much of Kiren's work mainly revolves around teacher education programmes at NIE, she remains very much in touch with teaching and learning in schools through sharing sessions, workshops and other types of research and primary school related projects.

I have been teaching English Language for 30 years.
Pasir Ris Crest Secondary is my third school and I had been a Head of Department (EL& Lit) for many years before I decided to change track from the leadership track to the teaching track.
Hence, now I am a Lead Teacher for EL and am enjoying my role deepening my own pedagogical practices and supporting my colleagues in their own learning.
During my free time, my interests include travelling (like many Singaporeans), learning other languages (currently learning Mandarin) and reading (thrillers set in medieval times).
