About

Fay Leong has been a Middle and High School teacher for 18 years. She has a Bachelor’s degree in History and English, and a Masters in Special Education from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. She has taught [|MYP Humanities], [|VCE History], middle and high school Social Studies, [|AP Psychology], English, Writing and Study Skills in schools in Australia, Korea, Istanbul and China. Past workshops that she has conducted include “//The City: Interactions within an urban environment//” (IB Middle Years Programme conference, Lisbon, Portugal, 2006), “//An introduction to Homo Faber//” (Istanbul International Community School, Turkey, 2005), and "//[|The 6 1 Traits: Writing across the curriculum]//" (Shanghai American School, China, 2008). She has developed a number of curriculum initiatives involving integration of curriculum, cooperative learning and team teaching. Fay is a strong believer in the importance of a constructivist curriculum and in the need to move curriculum forwards to meet the needs of the 21st century. She is currently experimenting with the use of the wiki as an integral component of classroom teaching and wondering how she can keep her students in the computer lab without it looking as though she is monopolising it.
