Summary

I bring extensive experience in handling international curriculum frameworks such as IGCSE, A-Levels, IBDP, and CP. I am proficient in curriculum development and leveraging design principles to incorporate universal support and English language development standards. I ensure alignment with the school mission, both vertically and horizontally, while monitoring implementation against curriculum standards. My commitment to innovative teaching strategies and instructional materials is evident, facilitating enhanced learning experiences through coaching and leading learning and data teams. As a leader with a robust background in educational psychology, I emphasize the importance of initiatives that foster a strong school culture and holistically enhance student well-being. I engage to play a pivotal role in monitoring student academic progress, collaborating closely with teachers, parents, and support staff to implement intervention plans as needed. Additionally, I provide support and oversight for the community service or CAS components for students, showcasing a commitment to a holistic educational approach. In terms of behavioral interventions, I implement a comprehensive system promoting positive behavior and addressing disciplinary issues fairly and effectively. I collaborate with various stakeholders to create and implement behavior improvement plans, maintaining accurate records of incidents and interventions. In the realm of teacher and faculty development, I actively foster a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, particularly through collaborative learning teams and engagement with coordinators and department heads. Further, I support data-driven decision-making by aiding in the collection and analysis of assessment data to identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to enhance student performance. Engaging in administrative duties related to scheduling, class assignments, and upper school initiatives, I contribute significantly to the overall functioning of the organization. My commitment to open and effective parent communication solidifies my role in keeping parents informed about their child's academic progress and relevant school information.
