Jusoor’s Website is Now in Arabic!

After months of translation, copy editing, and reformatting, we are thrilled to announce that our website is now available for viewing in Arabic. The website offers comprehensive information about our educational programs, professional development, inspiring success stories, and ways to get involved or support our mission. At Jusoor, we believe language should never be a barrier to education and growth, which is why we've created this dedicated Arabic resource to better serve our community and reach supporters in the region.

Training on Integrating Technology in Teaching High School Education

High school teachers at Jurahiya Center in Bekaa and Tuyoor AlAmal School in Tripoli participated in an interactive training on integrating technology in teaching, equipping them with innovative tools to enhance their classrooms. Led by expert coach and Jusoor team member Yousra Sabra, the session covered the TPACK (Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge) Framework, which guides teachers in incorporating technology effectively in lesson planning to make the learning process more fruitful. 96% of teachers found it helpful, with one participant saying: "The training was concise and beneficial, and the trainer's approach was exceptional. I truly enjoyed the activities, and we would like to dedicate a day outside the center for intensive training on this topic.” A total of 22 teachers received certificates, and their enthusiasm for the next topic, AI in Education, shows their dedication to growth.
