“ Collaboration is a key part of the success of any
organisation, executed through a clearly defined
vision and mission and based on transparency
and constant communication ”
DINESH PALIWAL
Sharing good practice is a mark of
strength that will benefit not just you
and your organisation but those who
choose to learn from what you have
to share. In this issue of Teach Middle
East Magazine, we highlight Ranches
Primary School Dubai. This school
exemplifies the virtues of sharing
good practice. The staff at Ranches
are not afraid to open their classroom
doors both literally and virtually so that
parents, staff, and other members of
the education community can share in
what is taking place within its walls. We
also talk to two teachers from Ranches
Primary school, who have made sharing
good practice a part of their daily
professional lives.
On October 9-10, 2018, Teach Middle
East held the first ever Middle East
School Leadership Conference in
Dubai. It was a great event which
brought together school leaders from
across the Middle East and beyond,
under the theme Leading Schools
in the 21st Century - Collaboration
Over Competition. We would like to
say a big thank you to our Partners,
sponsors and exhibitors. This was
the start of something great. We also

If we were to choose a theme for
this volume of Teach Middle East
Magazine, it would have to be
collaboration. Collaboration is the new
competitive edge, therefore schools
and all education organisations around
the world must lead by example and
show the rest of the world what true
collaboration looks like. Gone are
the days when schools kept all their
success secrets to themselves with
the hope that they will be rated better
than others and attract all the “ best”
students.
