REAL Learning

reflective • engaged • authentic • life-long

An invitation to teachers, artists, leaders and learners to share beliefs about REAL teaching & learning so we can keep doing good work

About Shamini

I am an arts educator, storyteller and writer, but right now am working on my PhD at Claremont Graduate Uni, California. I'm from Malaysia, but most of my professional work as an educator was in Singapore where I taught pre-university students, pre-schoolers, and eventually everyone in between. I love working with teachers using the arts as a way to develop more reflective, transformative teaching. I believe the arts as a process can teach us a great deal about leadership and real learning.

Participate in REAL Learning

Welcome to REAL Learning
Reflective • Engaged • Authentic • Life-Long


Thank you for visiting. This is a project to gather information and ideas from teachers about their beliefs and experiences. There is a great deal of academic research about this, but I want to tap into the real world of teachers. I also want us to share this space because I believe collective spaces like this are powerful ways for us to inspire, support and learn from each other in continuing to do good work in our classrooms.

To support and help this project to grow, do any or all of the items below.
..... and TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO COME PARTICIPATE!
