I work as an English department coordinator teaching secondary level students who are non-native speakers. I have a teaching career experience of almost twenty years. I also facilitate iEARN Qatar projects related to Project Based Learning (PBL). I have had the opportunity to present an interactive workshop on the theme of Collaborative Learning at the iEARN conference in Morocco in 2009. I train teachers on PBL both in face to face meetings and online follow up. I have also presented educational workshops, adding to my training experience.
I feel proud to be a representative of iEARN since 2008.
