Welcome back! Gain a fresh perspective on teaching and learning with Clemmie Stewart and so much more this week.

Hey Educators,

Welcome Back!

I hope you had a fantastic summer. How did you spend it? I'd genuinely love to know. My family and I explored southern Africa, and it was a blast.

Now, as we dive into this new academic year, I'm excited to work alongside you again. Keep reading as there is a lot in store.

We've Gone Digital!

Teach Middle East Magazine is now all digital. No more flipbooks or printed copies. It's just great content online whenever you want it. And guess what? We'll be dropping fresh articles every week, all penned by fellow educators. So, keep an eye out!

New Podcast Episode Alert!

Season 4 of the Teach Middle East Podcast is here! In the latest episode, I chat with Clemmie Stewart from Beech Hall School, Riyadh. We discuss blending traditional teaching with new tech, and Clemmie shares some cool ideas about introducing tech to young learners. Give it a listen!

We are launching a new podcast series called "Behind the Principal's Desk" on the Teach Middle East Podcast. The series will feature interviews with school leaders in the region, where we will learn more about the person in the role and what motivates them. Stay tuned for this!
