The Educators to Saudi Arabia Program seeks to provide a professional development opportunity to U.S. educators with the goal of increasing their knowledge and understanding of Saudi Arabia, its culture, and values. Additionally, the Educators to Saudi Arabia Program seeks to encourage teachers to establish creative means of sharing this understanding with their students, colleagues, and communities.
Twenty-five participants selected from among all fifty states will travel to Saudi Arabia for a fully-funded, 10-day study-tour focusing on education, science and technology, history, and culture. During the study visit, participants will hear from experts in each of the theme areas and visit elementary and secondary schools, areas of cultural and historical significance, and modern industrial facilities. The 10-day visit typically includes travel to Dhahran, Riyadh and Jeddah.
Upon returning to the U.S., participants will implement an interdisciplinary impact plan drawing on their program experiences.
