Tammy Tusek

Head Principal, Collegiate American School

Tammy Tusek was appointed Head Principal after serving one year at the Collegiate American School as the Elementary Principal. This PreK-10^th grade school focuses on Common Core State Standards and performance assessments. This academic year the middle school focus will be on Project Based Learning.

Prior to her current position, she led the Glenelg School of Abu Dhabi, Ruwais elementary campus focusing on American Common Core State Standards and global mindedness. The school’s population drew from employees from the ADNOC group of surrounding petrol refineries. The elementary division grew with over 500 new students enrolled in 3 years.

Her experience in the United States involved working in a K-8 school serving over 1000 students in Phoenix, Arizona. This urban setting served students from homeless populations, international refugee students and low socioeconomic students. The focus was academic progress for all students using a data analysis approach. As the vice principal of the same school, the focus was on Positive Behavior Intervention Support where the school received an award due to the decrease of violence and gang activity on campus affecting classroom instruction. As a classroom teacher, she taught Earth, Life and Physical Sciences and Health.
