“Howzit! I'm Mr. Warren Wessels. I come from South Africa’s playground, Durban. I earned my Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal in Further Education and training. I specialize in Biological Sciences and English Language and Literature. I believe Biology teaches us about Life, and English teaches us how to deal with it. I started my career in 2010 teaching Senior Biology and English at my own former High School, Durban Academy. After six and a half years, I decided to spread my wings and landed here at NJIS.
My passion for life stems from nature. We live on a surreally beautiful planet, I hope to capture as much of its natural wonders, cultures, and people through the lens of my camera. My personal motto is from one of my favorite philosophers, Rumi who said, “Run from what’s comfortable, be notorious, seek those who fan your flames.”

I am currently in my eighth year as a teacher and it has been the greatest adventure of my life. In that span of time, my flexibility and adaptability has been put to the test. Initially my goal was to foster an environment that promotes meaningful and collaborative learning among my students. I have witnessed the beauty of classrooms where students are engaged and motivated. But as an educator, I knew that helping my students learn the content through meaningful lessons and activities was not the end goal.
I have come to a realization that being a huge part of the formation of my students, I have a responsibility to ensure that certain values and principles are inculcated in their young minds. It has been a personal advocacy to open their minds to the social realities outside of their comfort zones. I want them to see the value of empathy and a sense of civic responsibility even in their young lives.

My name is Iqbal and I was born in a remote most village of Punjab, Pakistan. As a student, I spent most of my time in boarding schools and hostels and immediately after completing my education I got my first job as a science teacher in Maldives. Till that time I am living abroad moving into different countries. I am married, father of two sons and a lovely daughter.
This is my eighteenth year in International teaching and seventh international school. During the last eighteen years, I have gone through a huge shift from being a briefcase teacher to a person who strongly believes in sharing and connectivism. Even though I am still at the bottom level of connectivism and a big lurker but also having an appearance online. The credit for this mind shift does go to COETAIL, Certificate of Educational Technology and Information Literacy. I love to play tennis but my cricket skills are always a hurdle to be very good at tennis. I am also struggling to reduce my screen time but I think there is a problem with my iPhone which always gives a report i.e. greater than the previous week. Swimming, hiking and badminton are also my favorites.
