“Having Maliha come to our school and work side by side with our Early Years staff for the week was exactly what we needed to help us grow and develop our Reggio-Emilia approach to learning. She was able to embed herself into the classrooms and work side by side with our teachers. She has a wealth of knowledge about developing inspirational learning spaces and ideas for learning invitations. It was a full week of learning which has breathed new life into our Early Years Center.”

“We were very fortunate to have Maliha work on-site with our Early Years team. Thanks to her strong background in the Reggio Emilia approach, she provided us with concrete recommendations on how to maximize our learning spaces and best design the classroom areas to support inquiry for our learners. Maliha inspired us through her classroom visits, personalized interviews, and lesson observations to transform the spaces we currently have to create an environment that sparks excitement and wonder in the classroom. We appreciate how flexible and open Maliha was in assisting us individually and as a team.”

“I am honored to express my admiration for Maliha Iqbal, an extraordinary educator and instructional coach, who had such impact on my professional growth and development.
From first meeting Maliha, it was evident that teaching and learning are not just a job, but her calling. Maliha is known for her gentle nature, calm demeanor, and creativity. She immediately connects with her students as well as her peers using compassion and humor equally. Maliha and I worked on numerous lessons as well as conducted meetings for colleagues together. She is organized and focused on the task. She is energetic, and driven to meet all learner needs, whether students or adults. Maliha was always ready to lend a listening ear or a helping hand. Her wealth of knowledge, especially in Language arts, was not only informative, but motivating. Maliha’s dedication to her craft of teaching and coaching teachers helped everyone strive for excellence. She always went above and beyond for her colleagues and students.
In a profession where our impact is measured by the lives we touch, Maliha stands out in her excellence. She has not only enriched my teaching practices, but has left a lasting impression on my life.”

Maliha has made an indelible impact on my professional growth and development as a homeroom teacher. Her competence, research-based approach, commitment to staying abreast of the most recent educational practices, flexibility, hard work, and highly organized nature have truly set her apart from others that I’ve worked with before. Maliha’s deep understanding of pedagogy, curriculum design, and instructional strategies was evident in every interaction

“Ms. Iqbal and I worked very closely together at Shanghai American School. She has an extensive knowledge of child pedagogy, as well as our school’s curriculum, such as Readers’ and Writers’ Workshop, and school-wide assessments. She was always available and willing to assist with creating instructional strategies and differentiation and for small group instruction within the classroom. This included providing accommodation strategies for students with more extensive learning needs.”

“Maliha is a wonderful teacher and workshop facilitator. She is highly experienced and knowledgeable, and her sessions are engaging and full of insights into best practices and strategies. I always return to my classroom energized, with a deeper understanding, and with lots of take aways and new resources.”
