Learn, Grow, Inspire… and Be Inspired!




     Opening message in Al Mada yearbook - Summer 2019

It has been a very exciting academic year for all of us at Rawafid. Just when I thought we could safely say that a professional learning community has been established at our school, I realized there were more horizons for us to explore. That is where our new learning takes place, and that is where the magic happens!

Looking back at the past year, there is so much to celebrate. Our continuous growth and our success stories, story after another, bring joy and a sense of pride to the teachers and students alike and to the Rawafid community at large. This year was marked by the integration of many principles in teaching. Creating a positive spirit in the school, turning learning into social events, individualizing instruction, and trusting the learners are a few of the principles teachers and coaches have diligently worked on implementing in their practices. This implementation is evident for the observer in both the classroom and the playground.

Adopting new practices was always preceded by training. This was followed by reflecting on practices in order to evaluate and refine them. Planning for action came after reflecting, and all taking place in a cyclic process where each cycle fed into another. This goes hand in hand with the theory of experiential learning that we passionately believe in. Coaching rather than supervising was a vital practice that facilitated the process and transformed Rawafid’s students, teachers and administrators into a community of learners. One of the outcomes of coaching is reflected in hearing teachers willingly inviting colleagues to attend their classrooms to observe new activities being tried out.  

All in all, I can’t but feel proud of how far we have come at Rawafid. Of course, there are still many more horizons to seek, which we will reach and explore with enthusiasm, dedication, love to discover and willingness to surpass ourselves.

Thus, we, staff and students, will continue to learn, grow, achieve, inspire,
and be inspired!

This is the best thing that I've read today. Reading your deep words motivates me as a teacher because they show that teaching is not only about sending information to students, but also about updating our professional skills.
