2007 Morocco Train the Trainer Workshop

The 2007 Train-the-Trainer Workshop (TTW), Morocco, was a highly interactive, hands-on, two-day pilot workshop which took place 10-11 November 2007. It was designed for twenty-four Moroccan teachers to enhance their pedagogies and skills for effective educational workshops. The TTW was a joint program of the University of the Middle East Project (UME) Boston office and the Association of Moroccan Alumni (AMA). The TTW was held at the offices of UNESCO in Agdal-Rabat, Morocco.

Curriculum

TTW Morocco 2007 sought to further the principles and ideas covered during the Teacher Education Institute (TEI), expand the network of TEI teachers across the country, act as a pilot to construct a framework for other TEI alumni associations throughout the MENA region, and strengthen the newly established AMA, galvanizing its potential and reinforcing its relationship with its constituents.

The academic component of TTW was prepared in close collaboration with Yamila Hussein of the Harvard University Graduate School of Education, who ran the two-day-workshop.

Participants

TTW trained twenty-four Moroccan high school teachers interested in training other teachers throughout the country to promote collaboration and social justice in their schools and communities:

• 13 alumni from UME’s Teacher Education Institute (TEI), and
• 11 of their colleagues invited by the alumni

All participants attended all workshop sessions and provided mutual support and feedback on the alumni’s presentations during and after the TTW.
