After a close call at the airport, meaning we almost missed our flight, we made it to Aqaba. We are working at the Queen Noor Teacher Academy. The teachers here have had many writing sessions already, so they are a bit ahead in the work... this was a very interesting day.
I was able to share some of our student work with the teachers, this is one of my favorite photos.
And of course the boys, always an interesting story. I finally told this particular group of teachers that if they didn't start learning how to teach writing, the girls would be smarter then the boys and they wouldn't like that. Here in Jordan, the Male teachers teach boys and Female teachers teach girls... there are a few exceptions but not often. The result is that for men teaching is not considered a very important job, and they act like it...
