Brief Bios

Lloyd Yeo is a Master Teacher (History) at the Academy of Singapore Teachers (AST), Ministry of Education, where he has served since 2016. He leads the History Subject Chapter and drives professional development in areas such as game- and museum-based learning, multidisciplinary approaches, inquiry-based learning, and differentiated instruction.

Previously, Lloyd was a teacher leader, Head of Department, and school leader at St. Gabriel’s and Montfort Secondary Schools, where he strengthened humanities programmes. He also serves on the Board of Governors of the St. Gabriel’s Foundation, a Catholic charity supporting education and welfare for children and youth in need.

His research focuses on students’ historical misconceptions, museum-based learning, and Master Classes as a professional development model. He also explores how teacher narratives and networked learning communities foster leadership and sustained professional growth.

Combining disciplinary expertise with pedagogical and leadership experience, Lloyd brings a strong practitioner–researcher perspective to advancing history education through the use of multi-disciplinary, game-based learning and museum-based/field trips design in advancing  teacher professional learning in Singapore.

Saturday Morning Softball (1994-2026): 33 Years Later

Image
  Thirty-Three Years Later: To Hell and Back... And the Game Refuses to Fold Three decades have slipped by since World Series games were watched at Al's flat in Clementi, when mobile phones still belonged to science fiction (they still do for Coach) and travelling from Serangoon to Clementi required a ninety-minute expedition across Singapore. Empires have risen and fallen. Governments have changed—mostly proving that history has an unfortunate habit of repeating itself. Pandemics threatened civilisation. Social media empires have been born and buried. Artificial Intelligence now promises to solve every problem except how to hit a curveball.

At least that is one of the creation myths. Others argue the origins of our softball association lay in the psychological need for North American expatriates to distance themselves from their voluntary exiles in Asia by playing the game of their youths. The Singaporeans are merely unwitting tools; their labor and enthusiasms manipulated to serve the selfish needs of disingenuous Westerners. Another school maintains the Saturday afternoon gatherings serve precisely the opposite function—as a vehicle to build cross-cultural awareness and social bonds. Naturally the cynics dismiss all these needlessly complex colonia...
