Description
This Fulbright Scholar award supports teaching, research, or a combination of both in educational administration and teacher education in Bahrain. Preferred specializations include educational administration, teaching methodology, assessment or curriculum development, and international accreditation. Scholars may propose their own research and undergraduate or graduate courses, or undertake activities designated by the host institution. Combined teaching and research have no fixed ratio: the scholar and host agree on the balance.
The award also supports student advising and mentoring and faculty, curriculum, and program development. Potential hosts include Bahrain Teachers College at the University of Bahrain and Arabian Gulf University, although other appropriate institutions may be proposed. Through academic exchange, public talks, and community engagement, scholars contribute to Fulbright’s mission of strengthening relationships between the United States and other nations and promoting international understanding.
