Harvinder Kaur, writer, poet and educator, has been writing and teaching for two decades. She began her journey in education because it made her heart dance! After doing her Masters in English literature and Masters in Education (dissertation: Theory of Knowledge – changing paradigms) from Delhi University, she explored formal education for some years. She then left a regular job to work as a volunteer in non-formal education based on Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy – that marked a turning point in her journey!
Experienced with various national and international curricula, for about a decade, she had been associated with the IBO (International Baccalaureate Organisation), as English and TOK teacher, IBDP coordinator, examiner, and above all a learner. Her last full time assignment before joining on the board of ICIE (India Council for Integral Education) in 2010, was that of a Principal of an IB school in Mumbai. Presently she’s focusing on creating training modules for teachers and setting up a unique school in Bangalore inspired by the principles of Integral Education (www.auroschoolsulsoor.org ).
She has taken several workshops on critical and creative thinking skills. An avid writer, led by her own deep inner quest for Light, she has written and published poetry, articles and stories on education and spirituality in national newspapers and magazines.
