AP thought leadership piece. What is personalised learning at NAE? Can we segway into talking about engaging learning environments?

Ethan Hildreth, Superintendent at the Nord Anglia American International School, Abu Dhabi, says learning through experiences outside the classroom can often be a catalyst to creativity and great achievements.

Alumni artists from The Juilliard School frequently visit our schools around the world, transforming the connection students have to the performing arts. Actor and teaching artist Abby Gerdts, along with dancer Ingrid Kapteyn, have visited a number of Nord Anglia Education schools across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. The pair share their experiences teaching at our schools, their thoughts on our upcoming regional festivals, and what motivated and inspired them to pursue careers in the performing arts when they were at school.

Education technology is bridging the gap between theory and practice by providing students more engaging, personalised learning experiences, teachers are finding. Increasing and integrating the use of mobile devices at schools can engage students at a deeper level with what they’re learning, San Roberto International School’s IT Director Arturo Dares says.
