Hussaina Ishaya-Audu

I am an experienced and versatile school leader with a proven track record of successfully initiating and implementing innovative education programs.  My strong communication skills create an environment for collaboration and support, fostering student and staff leadership. With adaptability and a commitment to excellence, I drive educational outcomes through strategic planning and resource allocation. With over 15 years of experience in Senior Leadership, I possess a global perspective and have acquired extensive expertise in curriculum, teaching methods, and evaluation techniques, which has enabled me to foster interdisciplinary learning, intercultural understanding, and critical thinking among my students.

As an experienced educator and administrator, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to fostering a stimulating and inclusive learning environment. Over the course of my career, I have successfully overseen the delivery of multiple international curricula, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), and BTEC qualifications. This comprehensive exposure has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique requirements of each program and the ability to effectively manage their implementation.

In addition to my proficiency in curriculum management, I pride myself on staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in education pedagogy and ICT education tools. I have a strong grasp of modern teaching methods and the innovative integration of technology in the classroom. By harnessing the power of educational technology, I believe in leveraging its potential to enhance student engagement, and personalized learning experiences, and prepare students for the demands of the digital age.

I have successfully led a team of dedicated educators and staff members throughout my tenure as Principal in the various schools I led. By fostering a collaborative and supportive culture, I have motivated them to strive for excellence and continuously improve their teaching practices. I am confident in my ability to inspire and empower the secondary division at your school to achieve exceptional outcomes and create a nurturing educational environment.

Furthermore, my strong interpersonal and communication skills enable me to build positive relationships with students, parents, and stakeholders. I value open and transparent communication as a means of fostering trust and collaboration within the school community. I believe in the importance of active engagement with parents and actively seek their involvement in their child's educational journey.

I am currently engaged in a Masters of Education in Advanced Teaching with the University of the People and will be graduating next year with a double specialization in Secondary and Elementary Education. I am also running a Montessori Diploma programmed with Greensprings Montessori Centre which is accredited by Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE), and will be graduating in August this year.
