DEPARTMENTAL AWARD WINNERS
The Year 4 Department has encouraged
positive learning and raised the bar for
leading students to achieve exceptional
results at Emirates International
Schools. Congratulations to the team
heading the Year 4 Department! Sawalef
caught up with
Nadine Rashad, Year
4 Class Teacher and Coordinator at
EIS-Meadows…
What motivates your team? What is
the secret ‘glue’ that holds your team
together?
First and foremost, our daily dose of
Hummus and Tabbouleh! As a team
we are aware and respectful of the role
each person plays within the team.
We are open, honest and supportive
to each other which keeps the energy
very positive between us. As a result
we enjoy time together and usually end
each term with a social dinner at one of
the team member’s home.
Can you highlight your department's
exceptional achievement in 2014?
As a team we went beyond our duties
as classroom teachers and got involved
with activities to promote team-building,
leadership, international-mindedness,
responsibility and eco-friendly attitudes
amongst our students.
What would be your advice to other
departments across the Group
striving to win the 2016 Award?
Put in the effort to note your
achievements and wider school
contributions throughout the year.
This way when it comes to writing a
proposal, you have all the information at
hand. Think of ways to help the wider
community and involve your students
in activities to help them become better
global citizens!
