Teacher Success Stories

Though experienced in youth work and special education, I felt the need for structured strategies to support neurodiverse students.

PgCTL equipped me with essential pedagogical knowledge and assessment skills, empowering me to make a greater impact in my teaching career.

With a medical background, my qualifications did not fully align with teaching requirements in UAE international schools.

PgCTL empowered me to transition fully into education, combining science expertise with teaching credentials to create meaningful student experiences, from classroom experiments to mentorship.

My teaching relied on conventional methods but lacked structured support for engaging students with modern pedagogical techniques.

I gained hands-on strategies and resources that enhanced my ability to create dynamic and responsive classrooms, especially helpful in adapting to online and interactive teaching environments.

I found my teaching approach outdated and disconnected from modern educational trends, especially with respect to differentiated instruction and inclusive practices.

I gained confidence, modern instructional techniques, and a renewed passion for teaching. I now handle diverse learning styles effectively, provide inclusive education, and can adapt multiple strategies in my lessons.

I was seeking an entry into a reputable teaching position in Dubai and faced challenges in transitioning from my previous role.

I transitioned to Head of Cycle, managing both academics and operations for primary grades, demonstrating a significant career progression.

With 14 years in corporate operations, my experience was rooted in team management and training, but I lacked specific pedagogical skills for teaching in a classroom setting.

PgCTL enabled me to transition confidently to teaching, equipped with modern educational methods and practical classroom management skills, which I now apply as a business studies teacher with a clear, impactful approach.

As a teacher in India, I relied on my subject knowledge but lacked structured pedagogical methods that fostered engaging and inclusive learning.

I quickly advanced, landing a principal position within six months and enhancing my teaching methods for international contexts.

I struggled with using questioning techniques effectively in formative and summative assessments.

I gained insights into structuring both lower-order (LOTS) and higher-order (HOTS) questions, understanding their roles in critical thinking.

I struggled with understanding UAE’s educational standards and effective teaching strategies.

PgCTL deepened my knowledge in pedagogy, especially in concepts like rubrics and student assessment, making me confident and adaptable in the classroom.

I struggled to fully understand and apply teaching strategies and methods effectively in my lesson planning.

I now integrate advanced teaching strategies, use new apps and activities in class, and feel well-prepared for international teaching roles, particularly in Dubai.

I approached teaching in traditional ways, focusing on blackboard explanations without much focus on connecting content to real life.

I gained techniques to make math engaging by connecting it to real-life scenarios, helping students relate to the subject and showing them practical applications.

I used to teach in fixed traditional format, giving very less priority to engagement in my classroom.

Now, I make my lessons more interactive and conduct different types of activities which cater to the different learning styles of students.
