Tampines Primary School adopted a school-wide approach in the use of HOM in the area of teaching and learning and enhancing lives of pupils through character development.  For the past two years, Professor Art Costa has personally conducted training for our teachers on the effective application of HOM which had benefited both the teachers and pupils.  Tampines Primary School together with the Institute for Habits of Mind (Singapore) developed a unique set of icons for the 16 individual HOM which will be employed in the classrooms.
