Teach in Dubai | Tips to Move Up in Leadership
In this video, "Teach in Dubai | Tips to Move Up in Leadership", I share three tips to help you advance in your career while living in Dubai. As you might know, I moved to the UAE in 2013 as a secondary mathematics teacher. I was completely happy in this role as I enjoy life in the classroom. The students are full of energy and keep me on my toes.
However, it wasn't long before the head of school noticed these relationships, my interactions with parents, and my willingness to go above and beyond my assigned responsibilities. After returning from summer holiday, I casually stopped by her office to say hey and was asked to serve as the head of secondary mathematics department. Funny thing is the same thing happened the following year with a different head (same school) and I found myself serving in that capacity again.
Honestly, I didn't have a plan to move up in leadership but the opportunity keep presenting itself and since it felt right, I followed the path as it unfolded. I would eventually serve my school as the Curriculum and AP Coordinator before moving into the Curriculum and Assessment Coordinator role at another one.
In a nutshell, my ability to move up in leadership was the result of consistently doing these three things:
*Lead before the title.
*Network and connect.
*Have the required credentials AND know your stuff.
As you prepare to teach in Dubai, remember that your career doesn't have to stall. It is possible to continue advancing and move into leadership if that's your desire.
Here's a link to the KHDA School Inspection Framework mentioned in the video - www.moe.gov.ae/ar/importantlinks/inspection/publishingimages/frameworkbooken.pdf.
Be sure to share your questions and comments below. I am happy to address them so keep them coming.

Teaching in Dubai | How Much Do Teachers Get Paid in Dubai
Переглядів 25 тис.5 років тому
In "How Much Do Teachers Get Paid in Dubai", I use my very first offer letter to overview the compensation package. When you are offered a position, actually look at the overall package and not just the "salary". The more perks you're offered, the less of your monthly pay you have to spend on those items. While there is still a great experience awaiting you and money to be made, the compensatio...
