AMIDEAST, with a grant from the GE Foundation, offered English language training scholarships to 180 dedicated Palestinian teachers headed to AMIDEAST’s centers in El-Bireh/Ramallah, Gaza City, Hebron, and Nablus for a special training program designed to make them more effective teachers of English. Drawn from undeserved schools in the West Bank and Gaza supported by UNRWA and the Palestinian Ministry of Education, these teachers were eager to improve their command of the English language in order to better model the language for their students as they learn to speak, understand, and write correct English. Funded by the General Electric Company’s philanthropic arm, the GE Foundation, the summer program involved 90 hours of in-class instruction in general English teaching skills, conversation, and writing, as well as practical, everyday English and workshops to upgrade participants’ written communication skills. 

Boeing Mobile Resource Unit Program: Reading Road Trip

 Three mobile libraries, purchased with a grant from the Boeing Foundation, started their journey around the West Bank on November 1, 2010. Nine participating schools will each host the library for a period of ten weeks, competing for the right to take full possession of one of the libraries at the end of the project. The project focuses on improving the quality of English language reading experiences for students in grades 4 – 6, and participating teachers have been trained on the use of generic reading response activities to monitor the reading activity of students using the libraries. Prizes will be given to the student in each school who reads the most books, as assessed by the completion of the most response activities, and to classes who read more than 150 books.
