My personal goals for this project

I've always believed in teaching people to fish instead of throwing fish into their mouths. I believe strongly in training students in learning to learn skills, and to inculcate in them a spirit of independence and curiosity so that they'd want to learn more, and they'd be able to learn on their own.
My personal goals for getting involved in this project with Imran, Fiz and Fei are:
1. to try out different ways of teaching learning to learn (l2l) skills
2. to document my journey
3. to document students' responses along the way
4. to train these 6 students into strong, confident, independent learners sufficiently equipped to become lifelong learners.

I can only guide them. It's their choice to continue the adventure of learning once I'm no longer their teacher.
