This included the creation of units of work, development of formative and summative assessment programs and lessons. • As Exam Leader, coordinated and managed a team of staff to successfully deliver International General Certificate of Secondary Education mock examinations to board standards. • Developed and successfully implemented a professional development and learning program for staff based on organisational and individual needs. In particular, I introduced principles from Marzano’s The Art and Science of Teaching to Arabic staff members and implementation of new practices arising from this resulted in an increase in student outcomes in the lower bands (D-C). • Coordinated and trained the annual Model United Nations Conference Team, who participated in the Georgetown University MUN Conference of 2017.

This program resulted in increased performance in examinations and greater resilience in all subject areas and remains in place today. • Developed a Note-Taking Program for Junior Humanities students, which resulted in an increase of one grade level for 70% of students. • Was recognised for a strong ability for reflective and collaborative practice through frequent moderation of student work following each assessment piece, to ensure judgement decisions are aligned with the prescribed standards.
