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 Teacher Fellowships (maximum award: $25,000) for tuition and fees for current or prospective K-12 teachers pursuing certification. The program is intended to support:
- Teacher candidates who are pursuing certification in Foreign Language Education in World or Foreign Languages to teach Arabic;
- Teachers who already are certified in another discipline and are seeking an endorsement to teach Arabic; or
- 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.
