What Our Clients Say About Us

Bridget Joellen and Gail

Gail’s ability to shape and improve learning in a school is unmatched. She provided the key leadership that took a small relatively unknown school, The American School of Doha, with five hundred students to the status of a “lighthouse” school of over two thousand students that is recognized internationally as a top tier educational institution.

Ed Ladd

Former Director American School of Doha

When I reflect on the highlights of my ASD career, it is the amazing professional learning experiences I have had here that stand out. In fact, this is, in large part, what keeps me here. Professional learning here is well-thought out; it is grounded in our mission and vision and supports our strategic plan. I am grateful that ASD, under the leadership of Gail Seay, has invested so much in my professional career.

Colby leads with a clear focus on improving processes and expanding opportunities for students while also creating a culture of teamwork and innovation.  His ability to listen, understand, and respond to the needs of others fosters a collaborative and supportive environment.

Grace Morales

Study Abroad Advisor, American University of Sharjah 

During her tenure in consulting at AISM, Gail consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to facilitating the growth and development of our teachers and Board members. She understood the school’s trajectory of growth towards curriculum development and met us where we were. Gail’s exceptional communication skills, adaptability, and dedication have had a significant impact on our faculty and Board. 

As a curriculum trainer, Gail possesses a keen eye for detail and a strategic approach to curriculum design and development. She has successfully designed and implemented comprehensive training materials that have not only met but exceeded AISM’s objectives. 

 

She is approachable, empathetic, and readily establishes a strong rapport with the trainees and colleagues alike. Her capacity to create a positive and inclusive learning environment fosters a sense of camaraderie among participants, encouraging collaboration and the sharing of ideas. As a Board trainer Gail won the confidence of our school Board members, that needed to come together to continue the good work that had begun.

Gail has created an adaptive environment within the school community, rooted in a deep commitment to student learning, which facilitates teacher growth and development. Gail’s knowledge of curriculum and standards is on the cutting edge and she has worked extensively to develop teacher leadership at ASD which has resulted in a strong student-focused community at all levels of our school.

Anita Reilly

Middle School Curriculum Coordinator

I’ve attended a number of professional development workshops on how best to cater for EAL/D students over a number of years with Lynette. There is always a really good balance of theory and practical scenarios as well as takeaway resources, all of which helped in my approach to classroom teaching across all secondary year levels. I would highly recommend any teacher to engage with any of Lynette’s professional development opportunities.

It’s great to attend a PD that I can walk away from with some strategies and activities that I can take directly into the classroom. Thanks!

I have known Anita Reilly as an outstanding educator for many years. Her thorough understanding of the AERO Social Studies standards, and her ability to lead teachers through the implementation of curriculum change, has been profoundly impactful. Anita's passion for teacher development and for building consistency across the school has strongly  strengthened the learning environment for both students and teachers.

What sets Colby apart is not just his leadership, but his unique perspective as a third culture kid... he's not just a supervisor but a coach, motivating and equipping us for our future endeavors, both within (school) and beyond.
