Dear Colleagues,

Qatar Foundation International (QFI) is pleased to announce that it is
accepting applications for our Teacher Fellowship Awards.

As part of its overall mission to expand and improve the teaching of K-12
Arabic in the United States, QFI is pleased to offer fellowships for
current or prospective K-12 teachers. The program is intended to support:

1)    Teacher candidates who are pursuing certification in Foreign Language
Education in World or  Foreign Languages to teach Arabic;
2)    Teachers who already are certified in another discipline and are
seeking an endorsement to teach     Arabic
3)    Teachers seeking U.S. certification to teach Arabic through any other
recognized means.

The goal of QFI’s Teacher Fellows program is to develop a strong cohort of
highly trained teachers who will be future leaders in the field of K-12
Arabic education. QFI strongly believes that the skill, talent, and
commitment of the teacher are key components for the success of any
language program and supporting teachers is at the heart of this effort.

This program will offset participating teachers tuition and fees for
advanced courses in Arabic language and culture needed for certification.
In addition some fellows may receive funding for summer study in the Middle
East for intensive language study. It will also offset housing fees for
*summer
programs* that require staying outside the students normal residence.

The program will also provide teachers with the opportunity to learn best
practices in language education, develop a thorough understanding of Arabic
and how to teach it, and augment their passion for the study of Arabic
language and cultures and their commitment to educating young people about
the peoples and cultures of this important area of the world.
