Theodore Teo became a convert of the International Service-Learning pedagogy after 10 years of prior international service. To him, he found service-learning a breakthrough for fun, relevance and meaning. The pure draw he found was that ISL tears down social prejudice and walls. So he spent the last 8 years propagating the pedagogy in his profession, his hobby and in the face of his relatives at every Chinese New Year get together.

Theodore’s a social change agent igniter with SMU. He spends his days consulting on projects, career advising, working with undergraduates on personality profile instruments. Out of office, after family, he serves in changing Singapore’s cycle landscape through the Safe Cycling Task Force and capacity building the international volunteer horizon. When there’s enough time left after all that, he howls the blues on his blues harp.
