Jason Lum Tuck Choi

Jason Lum Tuck Choi has dedicated over two decades to the education service, having served as a Physical Education educator, Subject Head, and Lead Teacher at Fairfield Methodist School (Secondary). Throughout his career, Jason has focused on strengthening teacher professional learning by translating research-informed pedagogies into practical classroom strategies. In recognition of his contributions to the fraternity and his commitment to professional excellence, Jason was conferred the Fellow of the Academy of Singapore Teachers (AST) in 2023. He views this fellowship as a vital platform for mentoring fellow educators and contributing to the collective advancement of PE practices across the teaching fraternity.

In his professional work with PESTA and various cluster networks, Jason has been a key facilitator of professional learning, specifically in the areas of Inquiry-Based Learning, Assessment for Learning (AfL), and the purposeful integration of Educational Technology. He is a strong proponent of evidence-based practice, believing that professional growth is a collaborative journey where educators must engage in continuous inquiry and reflection to improve student outcomes. His work consistently seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and authentic classroom application.

Jason is particularly passionate about leveraging innovation to make student thinking visible. This is exemplified in his exploration of AI-supported feedback tools and the Learning Experience Assistant within the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS). By utilizing these tools in contexts such as softball batting lessons, he has empowered students to analyze their own techniques and take greater ownership of their learning. For Jason, innovation is not merely about technology but about enhancing pedagogical clarity and refining how teachers respond to the diverse learning needs of their students.

Driven by the belief that teacher development thrives in environments grounded in trust and shared purpose, Jason continues to create professional spaces where educators feel supported to experiment and grow. He remains committed to serving the fraternity by fostering a culture of collaborative inquiry, ensuring that both teachers and students are supported in their pursuit of excellence.
