Additionally, I was responsible for providing quality and bespoke training to EMI teachers within our school and our professional learning community. As a Lead Teacher and Lead Teacher Trainer, I implemented and delivered the professional development for all EMI subjects within our ‘off-island’ region in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This position allowed me to train Lead Teachers across the emirate of Abu Dhabi by providing high-quality professional development, support, and strategies to maximize performance and impact.
