Muscat: US Embassy in Muscat conducted a pre-departure orientation for three teachers from the Ministry of Education who have been selected to attend a prestigious US exchange programme.

The selected teachers, Saleh Al Habsi, Muna Al Alawi and Salima Al Rajhi, will be participating in the "Teaching Excellence and Achievement" (TEA) programme in the USA for six weeks starting February 3.

During the orientation programme, US Ambassador Greta C. Holtz congratulated the teachers for being selected for this programme and wished them a productive and rewarding trip.

The teachers also heard from three alumni of the TEA programme, who shared their experiences and lessons learned from the exchange last year.

The programme will provide the teachers with a six-week professional development training capsule at American universities combining academic seminars with an internship at a US secondary school.

The programme will also include seminars focusing on new teaching methodologies, curriculum development, lesson planning, teaching strategies, and computer training. Cultural enrichment, mentoring, and support will also be provided to participants throughout the programme.
