Professional feedback about our SMART Support for Teachers and School Administration

“Ms Del, I just wanted to drop you a note because I never got a chance to say goodbye to you or thank you for everything you did for me personally and professionally this year. You can’t imagine how much I learned in each and every interaction with you in regards to working with the kids, talking with parents, and working with my teacher assistants. I respect your time and efforts more than you know.” Mary, Dept Head

“We have thoroughly appreciated the staff training. I have received feedback from the teachers that have applied the strategies that were suggested and they report that they are really pleased with the improvement both in their classroom management and the positive changes that it has had with their students. When will you come back for more training? We welcome all that you have to provide and look forward to the wonderful support that you provide the staff and parents.” Christal, School Mgr.

“Dear Ms Del, I wanted to say thank you and let you know how much I appreciate what I have learned from you this year in how to create a more equitable playing field for our SEN learners. Your persistence and dedication to creating an inclusive experience for those students inspired me to do better, to be a better teacher. Your support in finding real ways to accommodate and modify learning for students provided tangible professional development for me as a teacher and a better classroom experience for our SEN learners. Thank you for your thoughtful conversations, genuine guidance and overall support in navigating an institution that is still weak in recognizing the importance of equitable learning facilities. I’m sure you will add value to wherever you go next! Warmly, Ms Jessica, 6th gr teacher

Thanks to your support and continuous effort this has been a very productive year for special needs student in our school. Your experience and professionalism have benefited the children in my classroom and I could see them blossom and improve their skills. There are some pupils in particular who have grown considerably due to your ongoing efforts an guidance. The extra time and 1 on 1 sessions you have given them has made them feel valued and eager to give their best. Besides being a fun and loving professional, you have been a great friend and colleague. Thank you. I wish you all the best.” Edita, primary teacher

“I had the beautiful pleasure of working with Ms Del in Oman in our delightful kindergarten program. She’s such a radiant SEN Department Head and I was so blessed to have ample opportunities to learn from her. She has the children’s best interests at heart and really gets them to come out of their shells and twinkle with their talents. Her bubbly and chirpy personality made the children feel at ease with her. She embodies the most mesmerizing lessons that come to life by incorporating the child’s multiple intelligences and embraces each child’s uniqueness with a flair for their learning talents. Continue spreading your passion for teaching children with special needs-aspiring them to reach for the stars. Zahra K, KG teacher
