CONNECT. DEVELOP. EMPOWER.
Let our New Year’s resolution be this: we will be there for
one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest
sense of the word.
- Goran Persson
A new year has dawned and we meet
it with gratitude and anticipation. We
are excited to see all the great things
that will unfold in the education sector
in this region and the world. All of us at
Teach UAE Magazine are working hard
to ensure that we bring our educators
here in the UAE and the MENA region
authentic, relevant and context specific
articles, which will play a vital role in their
professional and personal development
throughout the year.
Our social media channels and our
regular newsletter updates are designed
to ensure that our educators never miss
a beat. We have also partnered with
some of the most influential education
exhibitions in the region. Teach UAE
Magazine will feature heavily in GESS
Dubai 2015 and will be available in the
GESS Dubai VIP lounge. We would love to
meet you. Visit us at Stand E22 at the GESS
Dubai Exhibition from February 24th -26th,
2015 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Visitors to our stand will be treated to
complimentary copies of the magazine,
as well as exciting promotional items.
In this issue, we look at the elusive worklife balance for teachers and find out from
our educators, what they do to remain
healthy. We also talk with students and
teachers at the Al Bateen Secondary

Jan - Feb 2015
|
|
School in Abu Dhabi, to learn more about
how to strike a good balance between
studying and pursuing extra-curricular
activities. Students also share with us who
their favourite teachers are and why.
The ground breaking Global Teacher
Prize is making waves in the education
sector all over the world and Teach UAE
Magazine is proud to be one of its official
partners. In our A Moment With feature,
we talk to Mr. Sunny Varkey, the man
behind this fantastic prize, which seeks
to recognise the tremendous work being
done by teachers from all over the world.
The Class Time section of the magazine
is packed with articles that will help to
take your teaching to the next level. From
how to win over your students’ parents to
helping your second language learners
excel, there is something for everyone.
When work is done, turn to our After The
Bell section of the magazine. It certainly
will give you a reason or two to wake up
earlier in the mornings.
Have a great New Year from all of us here
at Teach UAE Magazine!
