ICCNC Welcomes the New Educational Coordinator
On behalf of the Board of Directors of ICCNC, we are pleased to announce the selection of Mrs. Farzaneh Farid Moayer as the new Educational Coordinator of the Andeesheh Farsi, Religious/Ethics, and Art classes. Mrs. Moayer's first day as Educational Coordinator is August 8, 2011.
Mrs. Moayer brings over 20 years of teaching experience with a wide range of children at a number of schools in Tehran, including Farzanegan School (a school for gifted students). As a team manager at Farzanegan, Mrs. Moayer managed a number of teachers for over 20 years. Having successfully worked in a range of group settings, including as a school teacher, instructor at Shahid Saani Teacher Training College, team manager and advisor, Mrs. Moayer is a consensus builder. Mrs. Moayer's dynamic interdisciplinary approach to teaching has motivated and inspired students to look at a variety of traditional subjects through the prism of arts and crafts, and she plans on continuing that approach here at ICCNC. We are very excited to have Mrs. Moayer on our team and are certain that she will enrich ICCNC with her leadership and unique approach to education.
On behalf of the BOD, we would like to thank our past principals Ms. Nikooei and Mr. Mogharei for their years of selfless dedication, passion, and leadership. The BOD also thanks all of the parents, teachers, and volunteers that have enabled ICCNC and Andeesheh to flourish. As a volunteer-based organization, ICCNC cannot move forward without your tremendous work, volunteer efforts, and financial support. We look forward to seeing you at the start of the new school year and invite you to join us in warmly welcoming Mrs. Moayer to our ICCNC family.
