Manara Leadership Welcomes Dr. Shaikh!
Dr. Iram Shaikh- Jilani is an educator with 21+ years working in public, private, and international schools. She has earned her Doctorate degree in Curriculum & Instruction from Northeastern University and served as an auditor/accreditation team member for several IB, CISNA, Cognia, & AdvancEd visits. Dr. Shaikh is inspired by student achievement and continuous school improvement as the cornerstone of her success. She motivates her team by open communications and authentic relationships. Dr. Shaikh has led over eight accreditations in the past 7 years across three different schools, including schools for a royal family. She takes the role of service in education seriously, spending many evenings and weekends supporting students via phone, zoom, or text, as well as prioritizing work with “at risk” students and underfunded schools internationally and domestically regardless of her title. Dr. Shaikh holds a Superintendent Certification from the TEA, a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from Northeastern University. She is cheered on by her family of triplets (Nuha, Nabeeha, & Ibrahim), her eldest son (Ammar), and her husband (Faisal).
