Hi,

I can understand your dilemma. I am in the field of teaching Arabic  
in the
US, started many teacher training and workshops all over the states.
Currently I am, with Dearborn public schools developing a curriculum for
high school students based on the National Standards. Until then,  
here is my
suggestion to you:

1) Use Scholastics Arabic books, they are full library in many subjects,
free of any religion and you can order them on line.

2) Be as creative as you could be, using different resources and use
interactive approach to language teaching

3) Use the thematic units in your district language curriculum and  
feed them
into your Arabic classroom

4) Use the 5Cs as a framework for all your lesson planning

5) Use resources on the net

6) Focus on teaching functional Arabic in a holistic method and  
relate it to
everyday life experiences so it will make sense to your students.

7) Always teach culture along with your language.

Best wishes,
