The Challenges of Scientific Research in Our MENA Schools: Can Teaching Research Be an Enjoyable and Effective Experience for Our Students?
May 13, 2025
Do you believe that teaching research skills in schools is a difficult or boring task?
In this interactive session, we shed light on the challenges facing the teaching of scientific research in schools across the MENA region, based on the real experiences of teachers and students. We ask:
How can we transform scientific research skills from a challenge into an inspiring and enjoyable journey?
During the session, we will share our experience in applying our booklet “Daleel: the Scientific Research Guide”, developed and implemented in Qatar with a sample of students, as a practical tool designed specifically to help teachers guide their students through the steps of the research process in a simplified, interactive, and relevant way for MENA classrooms.
We believe that instilling a research-oriented mindset in students from a young age is key to building a generation that is critical, aware, and proactive.
🎯 What will I gain from attending?
- Engage in a discussion on real challenges in teaching scientific research in MENA schools.
- Discover a practical, adaptable Arab-based experience that can be implemented in various educational settings.
- Receive a free copy of “The Scientific Research Guide” as a teaching tool to support your instruction in research skills.
Join us and be part of an educational dialogue that opens new horizons for teaching scientific research in our MENA schools.
This call will take place on May 13, 2025, 6pm Doha, Beirut, Jerusalem time, and 4pm Rabat time, 3pm GMT.
*The call will be facilitated in Arabic and is open to Arabic-speaking fellows, alumni and staff from Teach For All’s MENA network partners. Interpretation to other languages will not be available.

Measuring Collective Leadership in Teach For All
May 20, 2025 to May 21, 2025
This workshop explores Teach For All’s initiative to develop a framework and measurement tool for collective leadership among fellows and alumni. The tool encompasses three core dimensions:
- Purpose-Driven Mindsets: Explores participants' sense of
meaningfulness, goal orientation, and commitment to a purpose
beyond themselves
- Lenses, Mindsets, Attitudes, and Beliefs: Delves into participants'
beliefs about the purpose of education, their capacity for
self-reflection and learning, their embrace of systems thinking, their
belief in students' potential, and their embodiment of a collective
mindset
Leadership Capacities: Encompasses a broader range of leadership
skills and competencies essential for effective collective action
We will explore valuable insights into the tool's effectiveness from a pilot study conducted with partners from Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Colombia. Participants will bridge research and practice by engaging with the online survey, exploring resources, and providing feedback. The insights gained have significant implications for educational organizations seeking to cultivate collective leadership.
Is this for me?
Open to all, especially partner staff (MERL leads, HoAs, HoTs) and external People-First MERL community members.
This call will be held in English, with the option for attendees to request interpretation in Spanish and will have 2 call options.

The Teach For All + Oak Foundation Inclusive Education Course invites innovative teachers and teacher coaches from across our global network and beyond to join an interactive course focused on inclusive education for learners with disabilities and learning differences.
The course centers on who learners are aware (understand the social, political and cultural context in which students learn and grow, including cultural identities and systemic injustices) and how they learn (agency; taking responsibility for one’s learning and believing in one’s ability to determine a life path and impact others).
Through this course, we will individually and collectively reflect on Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning, and Metacognition to support us in creating reimagined and inclusive environments that allow every child to shine and create a better world for themselves and all of us.
