CURRICULUM • ASSESSMENT • LEARNING ANALYTICS • LMS IMPLEMENTATION

With more than 20 years in education, I combine classroom practice, international assessment, curriculum design, digital examinations, learning analytics and whole-school EdTech implementation to build academic systems that work in the real world.

Professional Strength
Academics, assessment, technology and data — connected

My work is built around one question: how can a school turn everyday teaching, assessment and student evidence into better decisions for teachers, leaders, parents and students?

UAE SCHOOL PRIORITIES
PISA · TIMSS · SPEA · KHDA — built into the ELG evidence story

These are not side features. They are central to how ELG helps school leaders connect everyday teaching and assessment evidence with international benchmarking, inspection preparation, self-evaluation and improvement planning.

PISA + TIMSS

International Benchmark Intelligence

Internal readiness evidence for international benchmark expectations

PISA Scientific Literacy PISA Mathematical Literacy PISA Reading Literacy TIMSS Knowing TIMSS Applying TIMSS Reasoning
Leadership value: identify benchmark gaps, map internal evidence, target interventions and monitor readiness by year, subject and cohort.
SPEA + KHDA

Inspection Evidence & Reporting

Evidence packs for self-evaluation, improvement planning and inspection conversations

Students’ Achievement Teaching & Assessment Curriculum Student Support Leadership & Management Improvement Evidence
Leadership value: convert live ELG data into structured evidence for SPEA / KHDA review, school self-evaluation and strategic improvement reporting.
E‑LearningGate Ecosystem
One evidence chain — from curriculum to leadership action

ELG connects curriculum, interactive learning, assessment, marking, benchmark evidence and school leadership rather than treating them as separate systems.

International Benchmark Intelligence
PISA & TIMSS connected to school evidence

ELG can organise benchmark evidence around the competencies schools need to understand: not just marks, but the type of thinking students are demonstrating and where intervention is required.

Inspection & Quality Assurance Readiness
Evidence that school leaders can use for SPEA / KHDA review

The same operational data used by teachers and leaders can be organised as evidence for school self-evaluation, improvement planning and inspection conversations.

UAE School Inspection Framework

Six performance standards — evidence connected, not recreated

1. Students’ achievementAttainment, progress, internal and benchmark evidence
2. Personal & social developmentStudent development and innovation evidence
3. Teaching & assessmentAssessment quality, feedback and learning evidence
4. CurriculumCoverage, mapping, adaptation and progression
5. Protection, care & supportIntervention and support evidence
6. Leadership & managementSelf-evaluation, trends, accountability and reporting

Assessment Leadership
Technology shaped by examining practice

The platform is designed from an examiner’s and educator’s perspective — not simply from a software-development perspective.

CAMBRIDGE & EDEXCEL

International Examiner Perspective

Examining experience informs question quality, mark-scheme logic, assessment objectives, evidence and feedback.

QUESTION ENGINEERING

From Question to Intelligence

Questions are structured to generate evidence about misconceptions, curriculum gaps, benchmark readiness and intervention need.

DIGITAL EXAM CENTRE

Author → Deliver → Mark → Analyse

Governed paper authoring, secure candidate delivery, auto/manual marking, section results and audit-ready reporting.
