11. Luci Willis - Head of School Improvement - Abu Dhabi

In this episode I’m speaking with Head of School Improvement at Raha International school, Luci Willis. Luci has worked in London, Japan and now Abu Dhabi, serving a whole host of roles that support students and teachers alike. In the interview we discuss: - A brief introduction to her teaching career and what recently led her to the UAE;- What the post 'Head of School Improvement' entails and what a day in Luci’s shoes looks like;- Examples of strategies she has tried to implement within the school and their levels of success;- Whether improvement can actually be gauged after an intervention has been rolled out;- The government inspection teachers can expect in Abu Dhabi;- And what the work life / balance is like in Abu Dhabi compared to previous places Luci has lived.Thanks again to Luci for sparing some time to discuss her new role and I hope that all goes well for Raha, Abu Dhabi and the Emirati’s working through their lockdown.
