Teacher-Training Courses:

 

Communication Skills A

 

This year, schools that have opened the major with a single teacher will be given the opportunity to have other teachers at their school trained. There will also be a limited opportunity for other schools to join the program this year.

 

Interested schools should be prepared to open the major the following year. Optimally, the staff of the new elective should consist of an English Teacher and another English Speaking teacher who has a strong background in or teaches a subject in the humanities or social sciences. Please register the teachers We recommend building a staff of 2-3 teachers for the major. 

 

The courses are scheduled to open in November in Haifa and in Tel Aviv:
