Accomplishments

I helped the students to develop and showcase their learner profiles through inquiry which engaged them in critical thinking and inquiry skills.

I led the science Committee to identify science strands which are not covered throughout the Programme of inquiry. This led to the establishment of a new structure that integrated more science units into the inquiry learning and also created space for stand alone science sections. My committee met regularly to study the curriculum and the best practices that will lead to most effective classroom instruction for better learning outcomes.
