Observations of educators from Syria and Jordan 11:56 a.m., July 31, 2006--“What I liked in all the exercises is that the students become independent while learning because they don't depend on their teachers for everything, and I'll never forget what Sydney J. Harris once said, 'The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.'" --Sophie Lawrence Sammour, from Amman, Jordan After a trip to Newark senior center: “What drew my attention was a sculpture of three old people from different races holding each other's hand with a big smile on their faces as if they are telling everyone, 'We are old, yet very happy together.' There was a sign on the wall behind the statue saying, 'Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be.' That was so impressive.” --Rania Helal, from Aleppo, Syria “Hi everyone. This is Ghada again, and this time I'm summarizing one of the most important and interesting workshops that we had during this program. Of course, I'm talking about, 'The Use of Drama in Teaching English.' I have to say that I was impressed and amazed by everything Dr. Stevens said or did during the two workshops of drama.” --Ghada Nayeef Sari from Irbid, Jordan “This workshop by Grant Wolf might be the most important one in this training course for the following simple but crucial reasons: It is the key to log into the web sites we need. It facilitates how to directly hit what we seek on the Internet with minimum waste of time among the huge stuff available there. It is what we really need as a resource for our workshops, presentations, lesson planning, etc.” --Kassem Al Tarras, Damascus, Syria “On our trip back home [from NYC], we all felt how attached we have become to this beautiful place called DELAWARE.” --Ola Abdo, from Amman, Jordan |
