Hiyam has been an outstanding member of the faculty of the ICARDA International School for many years. Prior to my arrival in 2005 as Head of School she had served as an assistant teacher and PE teacher. She wanted to advance into a higher category and was chosen to participate in a project that led her to receiving foreign teacher certification. This was done through study in the United States and Lebanon and also online. She completed her certification soon after I arrived and went on to take charge of kindergarten. She is a very accomplished teacher and did an outstanding job in every aspect of her roles at ICARDA. She often volunteered to help in special projects and was a key factor in carrying them to a successful conclusion. A school goal of going paperless was a favorite of Hiyam and she directed several TAs in scanning and cataloging tens of thousands of documents. She was responsible, while carrying a full teaching load, with converting all student and board of government files into electronic format going back to the beginning of the school in the 1970s. Hiyam is a very personable and well liked individual that earned the highest respect from her colleagues and parents at the school. Her complete fluency in English made her work with the younger students essential in carrying them forward to full fuctionality in our English medium program of study by the time they reached First Grade. Without hesitation or reservation, I recommend Hiyam very highly.
