Surekha’s over 30 yrs of diverse experience as a teacher, curriculum director and specialist educator is notable for the central role she and her company played during the years of Singapore’s adoption and acceleration of arts integrated learning spearheaded by the country’s National Art Council.
From 1993 through 2012 her over 20 proprietary programmes — endorsed by National Arts Council for centralising arts integration with curriculum — empowered thousands of students and teachers at over 200 of more than 350 Singapore’s schools, junior colleges and tertiary institutions. Several of the pioneering programmes, such as Integrating Process Drama, Drama Education with Arts & Music (D.R.E.A.M.), Poetry, served as the building blocks for intensive, extensive and enduring Singapore’s Education Ministry arts integrated learning initiatives.
Back in India, Surekha has been training hundreds of educators to grasp and use Process Drama, Storytelling and Poetry for trans-disciplinary learning in their physical and virtual classrooms.
