Professional Development Opportunities for Educators

It is our goal to reach as many classrooms as possible to engage learners with experiences and academic knowledge about the Middle East. We visit classrooms, arrange classroom visits by outreach volunteers who come from the Middle East, and produce instructional materials to support the learning and your curriculum needs. Please see the Library research guides, textbooks and other materials we offer and join our community of educators. In addition, please check out instructional materials and materials created by teacher-participants in our programs. We also keep instructional materials in Ohio State University's Knowledge Bank, such as this unit on World War I and Turkey

Ohio State is an institutional member of the Middle East Outreach Council. We encourage you to join this national network of scholars and educators focusing on the Middle East.  We highly recommend their professional development opportunities. Join as an "Access" member (which is free of charge), or as a participating member, in order to take advantage of their many opportunities and resources nationwide.
