Assalamualaikum and Hello everyone!!!

I am committed to the principles and practice of ARM in teaching and learning. ARM stands for Active learning, Reflection and Modelling. I initially trained as a primary school teacher on the BEd (Hons) Primary Mathematics programme with the University of Hertfordshire, UK, spending four years at Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Kota Bharu, Kelantan. 

I have a master's degree, MEd International Development and Education, from Newcastle University, UK. My research investigated teachers as reflective practitioners in a developing country, focusing on Ghanaian private school teachers at Omega School. 

Today, I am an Administrative and Diplomatic Officer (PTD) with the Malaysian Government. My journey is getting bigger and broader, especially in leadership and management. Reflecting and learning from my experiences is still my love and obsession!

Blog History

I started blogging in 2009 when I was a trainee teacher. In 2010, I was posted to a rural school in Perak, SK Kampung Kenang, Sungai Siput (U), where I taught Temiar pupils for three years. There were many challenges in teaching at a rural school: the location, the language of communication, internet and phone connections, and much more. Equipped with ARM, I faced those challenges head-on. I created active and creative lessons, modelled good teaching and learning, and reflected regularly here on my blog. 

The blog began to gain attention both nationally and internationally. I was invited to seminars and courses to share my activities and reflection process. The biggest surprise came when the blog won the Prime Minister's Best of the Best Award at the APICTA Awards 2011. 

The blog has since become three books: 

Today, this blog continues to document my career and life journey, and I also share stories from it on Threads. I hope it inspires more people to do their best in whatever they do. In education, as teachers and as leaders, let's all make the best efforts we can for the sake of future generations. I hope the messages in this blog will inspire you too!
