Cairo American College in Cairo, Egypt
Cairo American College https://www.cacegypt.org/ is a diverse and vibrant community of learners. The school is invested in the growth of its learners, preparing them in a meaningful way for the challenges that lie ahead. I follow the Head of School, Dr. Jared Harris, on Twitter and the news from CAC invariably affirm my hope that education can make a difference in our world. Thank you, @CACHOSupdates.
Following a two-day consultancy earlier this year, the faculty are now looking to identify areas of improvement and identify projects that are important for their professional development. I will be working with a diverse and vibrant English department on issues of student agency and activities that promote learning and the love for literature. The English department and I will share our experience and expertise with the whole faculty with the development of study and writing skills for students.
The three-day visit to CAC will also include a session on the integration of Theory of Knowledge in all subjects, pedagogical approaches for the entire faculty, as well as a discussion of the kinds of teacher feedback that support and promote learning.
