How liberating would it be if we viewed ourselves first and foremost as learners?

And…what if we were actively aware of ourselves as learners and could adjust our approach for success accordingly?  How much could we achieve then?

If a person can master learning then the world truly is their oyster.

Services

speaker & workshop facilitator

Presentations and workshops are offered as a method of diffusion to a wider audience and/or as a method to support project-based learning. Small-group workshops are also available, providing hands-on, practical strategies tailored to educators' needs. Whether speaking to a large crowd or working closely with teams, each session is designed to be engaging, evidence-informed, and focused on real impact in the classroom.

school PARTNERSHIP

The School Partnership Program is a hands-on, collaborative experience that supports educators in deepening their understanding of Self-Regulated Learning and applying evidence-informed strategies in their classrooms. As a consultant and critical friend, I work alongside schools to co-create practical solutions that strengthen culture, leadership, teaching and learning, leading to meaningful, lasting change.

PROJECT SRL

Project SRL is a dynamic space for collective learning where educators come together to inspire, challenge, and problem-solve towards the shared mission of helping our young people to become better self-regulated learners. It’s a community of schools/educators, a space where innovative ideas are nurtured, and a platform for diverse perspectives and knowledge exchange. Project SRL is available for school teams and partners.

What people say about Shyam

[Shyam] is a natural educator. Shyam worked with us in a volunteer capacity, creating educational programs for local teachers. I was impressed with Shyam’s ability to observe and propose changes that are culturally appropriate and very much needed. He has the perfect combination of kindness, positive attitude, and an incredible confidence to propose challenging ways of seeing education from new and modern perspectives.
— MAUGE EUGENIA URENA RAMIREZ, SERVE ABROAD
As an educator, a friend, a colleague, a mentor, or a coach, [Shyam’s] approach is always professional, measured, calm and positive. He engages his audience with curiosity and gusto. His love for lifelong learning is contagious and his breadth of knowledge is exceptional. He communicates with compelling courage, has a great sense of social acuity and is deeply attentive to the purpose or situation
— FRANCESCA CONTE, MELBOURNE GIRLS GRAMMAR
Having Shyam as my coach has honestly changed my life. In the short time we have been working together he has been able to help me achieve what I’ve wanted and I’m excited to see what happens going forward. Shyam’s been there to inspire me. From the first time we sat down [together], I walked away with a spring in my step. I could write forever about how inspiring he is but it’s something you really need to experience for yourself.
