Kuwait

Just finished working for 3 days in Kuwait at the Kuwait International Educators Conference. This conference brings together educators from over 30 schools within Kuwait and exposes them to professional development options that they otherwise would have to travel far to see. All the participants were engaged and interested in the content and excited by the new learning they heard.

Lynda Abdul Raheem is doing a wonderful service to the whole Kuwaiti Education Community organizing this bi annual event. She has created an amazing bi lingual opportunity for educators.

In 2009 I had the pleasure of meeting Jeanette Al-Sabah in Germany. Jeanette made it possible for me to be included in this event. The conference was a positive experience and I hope it is the start of future work with Jeanette and with Kuwaiti educators.
