START UP SCHOOLS FROM IMPLEMENTATION TO AUTHORISATION
Jan 2008 – Feb 2008 Education Consultant, Havelock Academy, Grimsby, United Kingdom
(Engaged by IBAEM)
As a partner of Conhawk I introduced the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme to
teachers, managers and stakeholders of Havelock Academy, an interested school in the UK,
providing introductory workshops to highlight the IB philosophy and the similarities and differences
between MYP and GCSE. I also managed meetings between stakeholders, heads of school and
coordinators to support in the preparation of IB documentation for Havelock Academy to progress to
candidate school status.
Jan 2005 – Jul 2007 Deputy Principal and MYP Coordinator, Dubai International Academy,
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
During the interested school phase, prior to the opening of Dubai International Academy (DIA), I
prepared the documentation needed for the implementation of the International Baccalaureate Middle
Years Programme (MYP), resulting in DIA becoming a candidate school in June 2005. During this
time I introduced prospective parents, students and teachers to the IB philosophy and MYP structure
through workshops and individual interview to clarify comparisons between MYP and GCSE, IGCSE
and junior high for an informed choice to ensure enrolment of sufficient student and staff numbers for
the opening of a new IB school in Dubai. I advised on procurement and recruited staff for the science
department. With the opening of DIA in August 2005 I fulfilled the dual roles of Head of Science and
MYP Coordinator. As Head of Science I established 6 new laboratories, the MYP Science curriculum
for grades 6 to 10 and managed teaching staff and technicians. As MYP Coordinator I lead the
implementation of the MYP, guiding teachers and liaising with the International Baccalaureate
Organization. During this time I ran in-house training workshops for teachers and MYP information
workshops for parents and students. I also developed the Community and Service programme at
DIA. I served as an active member on the academic board of DIA, ensuring the progression of the IB
throughout the learning community. In my role as Deputy Principal I monitored and encouraged
students’ academic and social progress, encouraged and appraised staff, interviewed prospective
students and parents, collated orders and budgets drove curriculum development, prepared
timetables and recruited staff. As MYP coordinator I led the implementation of the MYP, opening

lines of communication to allow for the mapping of the curriculum across a year group and the
progression to each of the MYP years to provide an ease of transition to IB diploma. I prepared the
documentation for authorization, allowing DIA to progress from an IB candidate school to an
authorized IB World School in just 2 years.
CURRICULUM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Jun 2014 – Jul 2014 Moderator, Bournemouth & Poole College, United Kingdom
Consultant responsible for moderating marked Access to Higher Education chemistry assessments
and guiding teachers in assignment writing and portfolio building.
Jun 2012 – Aug 2012 Review of Assignment Scheduling for the Access to Higher Education
Course at Bournemouth & Poole College, United Kingdom
Consultant responsible for reviewing the delivery of the Access to Higher Education course and
recommending tracking and monitoring systems of teaching and student progress and the
subsequent planning for the implementation thereof.
Aug 2008 – Aug 2011 Science Lecturer, The Bournemouth and Poole College, United Kingdom
I led the level 3 BTEC National/Extended Diploma in Applied Science (Medical) as course tutor,
coordinator and lecturer, developing curriculum to ensure course content met industry standard,
identifying resources and developing schemes of work and lesson plans that included variety in both
tasks and assessment methods. I was fundamental in establishing extended pass in class time with
combined year 1 and 2 students to enhance success.
As Head of Science I developed the MYP Science curriculum for grades 6 to 10 to include the five
areas of interaction and interdisciplinary lessons and projects. As MYP Coordinator I lead the
implementation of the MYP programme, ensuring the whole learning community- students, parents,
teachers, administrators, support workers and stakeholders had an understanding of the IB
philosophy and hence how the curriculum differed from GCSE and IGCSE in particular. A driving
force for the curriculum development was a need for an ease of transition from IBMYP to IB Diploma
which I achieved by establishing roles and responsibilities to allow for the mapping of the curriculum
across each year group, establishing a clear, traceable progression.
Aug 1998 – Jun 2001 High School Science Teacher, International School of Tanganyika, Dar
es Salaam, Tanzania
I developed, wrote and taught the IBMYP chemistry course for grade 9 and 10 and developed an in-
school science in society course for interested grade 11 students.
MANAGEMENT CONSULTING – BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, QUALITYASSURANCE, EDITING
& REVIEW, TRAINING OF TRAINERS, COACHING & MENTORING
Aug 2007 – To Date Partner, Conhawk, A Consulting Services Partnership, United Kingdom
As partner I have responsibility for the preparation and costing of bids, the editing and quality
assurance of partnership reports and workshop materials and the lead on literature research.
As a mentor for PGCE students I carried out lesson observations, giving constructive feedback and
show casing good classroom practice. I regularly shared good practice with colleagues, both formally
and informally.

During this time I ran in-house IB training workshops for teachers and established a supportive
appraisal system. I became a MYP Workshop Leader in July 2008.
REFLECTIVE STUDENT CENTERED TEACHING
For both BTEC and Access courses I developed lessons that emphasized workplace skills and
allowed for both student and teacher reflection. A variety of assessment methods were used and in-
depth feedback given, to encourage individual progression.
I developed MYP lesson plans in consideration of the five areas of interaction and interdisciplinary
links. As a facilitator of learning I used different teaching strategies, a variety of assessment tasks
and in-depth feedback, to encourage students to be reflective, independent learners.
WORKPLACE LABORATORYSKILLS
Having been employed in the medical industry I understand the importance of providing young
people with the relevant practical skills for the work place and so I ensured that the BTEC Applied
Science course stressed vocational skills such as spectroscopy and cell culture, providing colleagues
with the necessary training and support.
Jul 1983 – Dec 1987 Senior Biochemist, Harefield Hospital, United Kingdom
As a Senior Biochemist I employed the techniques of radioimmunoassay, immunocytochemistry and
immunoflurorescence, cryopreservation and tissue culture in support of the heart transplant team. As
much of the cell staining techniques had been developed using mouse cell models I had the exciting
opportunity of adapting these methods to work with human cells.
