3 COOL PLACES TO HAVE A

SPRING BREAK.

in Al Ain is definitely worth a
visit.

Tip: Know the strengths and
weaknesses of your school. Think of
useful ways to add value to your
school improvement plan. This will
show that you are not only invested
in the education of your students
but also in the growth and success
of your school.
OBSERVATION
Tip: Ensure that you keep your
students engaged with meaningful
activities that promote self-learning
and understanding of the concepts
being taught. Let your resources be
the foundation upon which you build
a solid portfolio of evidence that
reflects not only how but what you
and your students have
accomplished.
PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
B. Try an afternoon Tea –
Emirates Palace is not one to
miss!
C. Challenge your fear of
heights by going up Jebel
Hafeet in Al Ain.
SCHOOL
INSPECTION
C. Dubai – While Dubai is
perhaps the most visited place
by both residents and tourists
for luxury getaways, we invite
you to seek out a cultural
getaway on your next trip. Check
out the museums and Bur Dubai
area for lots of hidden gems!
Tip: Make the time to develop
yourself via online CPD courses in
addition to attending the sessions.
Even though some of the sessions
may appear repetitive or mundane,
there is always an opportunity to
either learn something new or bring
something new to the experience.
