“All teachers understand the data, class level, and subject leader and school level.

This means all teachers can target appropriate pupils and explain their priorities to help them make progress.”

Spring Lane Primary- Annual Feedback 2010

"The curriculum has considerably improved in response to the last inspection and staff work closely to implement new approaches.

There is a greater focus on helping pupils to become more effective learners and, through a more integrated, thematic curriculum, to be more interested and involved in their learning."

Rolph Church of England Primary, Essex - Ofsted May 2010

'Through partnership with ADEC, TEL improves the capacity and practical leadership skills of Private school Principals in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.'

I learned today so many things.  I now know what I need to do next in the improvement process and how to do it.’

In October 2012 TEL began to deliver a Strategic Leadership Professional Development Programme for the Principals of 15 private schools in Al Ain and 15 schools in Abu Dhabi. The programme is focused on improving the strategic leadership of private schools, who are not only improving, but have also demonstrated the capacity to improve further.

Aligned to the ADEC professional standards, the Private School Inspection Framework and the Self Evaluation and School Improvement Plan requirements of ADEC,TEL’s leadership programme is enabling natural leaders to develop the skill and insight to become great ones, and fledging leaders learn to lead with flair and authenticity, through the practical preparation tasks and the follow-up activities which are an integral part of the training.

These tasks and activities are designed to enable the participants to try out a range of strategic leadership activities, methods and approaches in school whilst building their knowledge and skills to create a vision, motivate and inspire others, set clear agendas and support those who need to help to make the vision become a reality.

The Taaleem-EdisonLearning approach to leadership and management is driven by up-to-date international research and positioned, tested and implemented against the needs of schools across the UAE.

This is proven to be highly successful in establishing the fundamental requirements for outstanding school effectiveness and driving up standards of student achievement.

 ‘Superb sessions and I wish that I had access to more of this quality of training. Thank you TEL and ADEC.’
