I am currently conducting a PhD study on teacher retention in British international schools in the UAE. The aim is to identify predictor variables of teacher turnover and also explore effective retention strategies in mitigating against unwanted departures. By the time of the conference, I would likely have completed my pilot study so would have some insights from that also for the roundtable. I am Head of Assessment and Reporting at Cranleigh and have worked in the UAE for 13 years. I have a Master’s in Education (Leading Learning) with the University of Nottingham (Distinction) and have also recently completed a certificate programme with Harvard’s Graduate School of Education (Certificate in School Management and Leadership).
