A timely opportunity to gain some useful insight into developing my school and those within it. As a collaborator, lifelong learner, the opportunity to reflect, re-engage, redesign to gain worthwhile results was too tempting. Looking forward to it very much.

I'm Karen McCord, Executive Principal of AIS ( Australian International School ) Dubai. We are newly opened in Dubai. Over the next few  years we will be adding to our leadership team and given COVID and its affect on PD over the last few years, I thought it timely to engage with the latest research in teams and leadership. Coming from the Queensland, Australia government system where recruitment opportunities for staff are limited, Dubai will provide me autonomy in how I choose staff and develop them.
