INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
In this episode, we sit down with Teresa Tung, Director of Curricular Programs at Hong Kong International School, for a thoughtful conversation about purpose, systems thinking, sustainability, and what it truly means to create flourishing school communities.
Teresa shares her journey from growing up in Taiwan and immigrating to the United States, to becoming an international educator and leader across schools in Asia. Along the way, she reflects on identity, belonging, leadership, and how sustainability education transformed her understanding of the true purpose of schooling.
Together, we explore:
- How educators can reconnect daily teaching to deeper purpose
- Why systems thinking matters for every teacher, not just sustainability educators
- The tension between curriculum demands and meaningful learning
- The importance of human flourishing, compassion, and wellbeing in schools
- What service learning can look like when students are trusted with authentic responsibility
- How becoming a parent reshapes our understanding of education
- Why young people are capable of far deeper systems thinking than we often assume
Check out some of Teresa's favorite resources here:
- Compass Education
- Amala Education: Education with and for refugee youth
- Melbourne Metrics: New Metrics International Schools Program
