omny.fm/shows/eye-on-educati… Worth a listen. Would be interested to hear opinions about what was said in the interview. Teacher well-being, work-life balance, positive relationships, and respect are key to the foundation of an outstanding school. Look after those and things will be 👍

instagram.com/p/CoOltcor_Gl/… had these guys in to help engage the kids in the Social Studies/ Moral Ed curriculum through storytelling and performance. During inspection week too! They got the KHDA seal of approval ✔️ Thoroughly recommend them. @duneUAE

On the hunt for any ideas/activities to mark UAE National Day 🇦🇪 this year…anyone point me in the direction of some good resources? Hoping to collate some for primary and then happy to share with anyone else👍

In relation to the teaching of maths and within the context of the last year, what would you ‘restore’ from before, ‘retain’ from the new ways of teaching and ‘remove’ altogether?

Anyone get the feeling its only a matter of time before Dubai schools are made to close? A lot of cases kicking around! Here’s hoping it’s just a blip and that things improve soon!

Back in March I set up a little Facebook group to help give parents, carers and teachers ideas and activities to support learning from home. The link is below if it is of any use. We need to support each other through these testing times! facebook.com/groups/49049715…
👏👏 UAE teachers. What a term! Hardest one ever for many, including myself, having to juggle online and class-based learning. But we made it! Surely it has to get easier here on in?? Well deserved rest now! 🍷 🎅 🕺🏻

I think it’s about time some UAE schools ‘realign’ teachers’ salary and give them what was originally promised. Lots of teachers still working on reduced pay which seems crackers given these past few months many have worked harder then at any other time in their career!
