Teachers Educating Across Cultures in Harmony (TEACH) is a program aimed at cross cultural exchanges and increased knowledge between educators in the US and the Arab World. In December 2009, the Bilateral US-Arab Chamber of Commerce will take a delegation of selected instructors to Qatar and Saudi Arabia for the purpose of raising awareness, understanding, and cooperation between educators in the US and the Middle East. This exchange will develop a cadre of instructors who can bring their experience into the classroom and transfer cultural understanding into educational work.
