With a passion for innovation and design in education, I specialize in curriculum development and the integration of play-based learning. My expertise lies in crafting and refining educational frameworks that are not only effective but also adaptable to the evolving needs of students and educators. My professional journey includes: Curriculum Development: I excel in designing engaging and effective curricula that align with contemporary educational standards and cater to diverse learning needs. Policy Development: From crafting policies to implementing, evaluating, and reviewing them, I ensure that educational policies are robust, practical, and forward-thinking. Consulting: I have consulted with KHDA and ADEK, advising on early years inspection frameworks to enhance educational quality and standards. Teacher Workshops and Professional Development: I lead workshops and training sessions to equip educators with the tools and knowledge they need to foster effective and nurturing learning environments. Trauma-Informed Classrooms: I am dedicated to creating classrooms that are sensitive to the needs of students who have experienced trauma, as evidenced by my recent research and development of models for trauma-informed practices in the UAE.
