Martin Ormond

My love for history stems from appreciating the cross-curricular knowledge and skills it provides. I see history as being a facilitator subject that allows one to become a master of various domains. Whether it be analysing data to understand the rise and fall of governments, identifying how technological developments have shaped the modern world, or how scientific discoveries have allowed humans to combat deadly diseases. The opportunity to enlighten young people with this perspective and inspire a sense of curiosity about the world drove me to become a history teacher. The chance to do this abroad in a new culture such as Dubai only amplified my enthusiasm for teaching history.
