EDU – Middle-East (Summer 2024)

TRIP DESCRIPTION

Join this pioneering team to extend the kingdom throughout the Middle East.  This Partner Team will join our friends working in a large city with a diverse population both culturally and religiously.  The Partner Team will assist a growing group of believers as they reach out in this community. Classes will be offered to children and adults in English and enrichment subjects based on community interest.

This is a unique opportunity to use your professional skills to serve people with few resources. Your teaching contribution will have great impact in individual lives and in building relationships for the flow of the gospel.  This team will be multi-cultural with team members from the Middle East.

Teachers will grow professionally through coached lesson planning and weekly observations.  Pre-service teachers will work alongside experienced teachers as the team serves together to bring academic enrichment to the students.  Professional development will also include sessions on aspects of teaching cross-culturally.

EDU Partner Teams

These professional opportunities are only available for in-service, pre-service, and former educators (K-12, early childhood, higher ed, school counselors).

Teachers will serve full-time in language schools, K-12 schools, and informal education opportunities.  Each teacher will work at an appropriate level and in a content that matches their professional preparation.

Team size for EDU Partner Teams is 2-5.  All dates are subject to shift based on the needs of the teachers on the team. (For example, when they are finished with their regular teaching schedule, when they must return to university, etc).

• Pre-field training in cross-cultural living, fundraising, and cross-cultural teaching
• Language study
• Cultural exploration through preparatory readings & excursions
• Bible study on the gospel across cultures
• Observations and feedback on teaching
• Individual mentoring
