Snehal Sherla
@snehalsherla
Educational consultant and curriculum leader advancing holistic, purpose-driven learning through training and strategy.
What I'm looking for
I bring nearly a decade of experience in the education sector, specializing in leadership, curriculum development, teacher training, and stakeholder management—impacting over 5,000 students. I work as an educational consulting expert in leadership development, academic strategy, school systems, and life and wellness coaching, designing IB, CCSS, Cambridge, and NEP/CBSE-aligned curricula.
I’m known for progressive teaching methods and experiential learning, including Problem-Based Learning and RAZ Reading, and I integrate AI in education to strengthen learning outcomes. From my current Educational Consultant role (June 2024–present), I’ve designed NEP-aligned, real-world learning modules and teacher-ready toolkits for low-resource classrooms, and I’ve developed ESL and bilingual literacy materials as well as foundational early-years and interactive English frameworks. Earlier leadership roles include Regional Curriculum Manager at KLAY (founding years lifecycle management, training, mentoring, budgeting, and stakeholder coordination), English Subject Matter Expert, and Primary Principal (Key Stage Head) at Grammar School Dubai—where I launched Grammar School Radio, led reading initiatives, and received a Hall of Fame award from Athena Group.
