I am currently a program coordinator and instructor for the School of Education at the Arab Open University, as well as a course instructor and science trainer for future teachers at the Lebanese University, where I hold a PhD in Education. Prior to this, I served as the principal of Beirut Modern School and as a biology and chemistry teacher at Hariri High School II and Rawdah High School.
With over three decades of experience in research, university, and school education, I also hold a Master’s in Science Education. In addition to attending professional workshops and courses in science education, I have contributed to the preparation of several successful ones throughout my university teaching career.
Teaching Courses:
1. Practical Education 1 and 2 ( ED 441 - ED449)
2. Methodology of Science for Teachers of Elementary School (ED 468)
3. Environment and Health (ED 482)
4. Science for Teachers of Elementary School I (ED460)
5. Science for Teachers of Elementary School II (ED462)
With a comprehensive background in education spanning over three decades, I
have served in various academic and administrative roles across multiple
institutions in Beirut, Lebanon. Since January 2010, I have been an Assistant
Professor at the Lebanese University, where I train future teachers in science
education, overseeing 10 trainees each semester and managing all aspects of
lectures and evaluations. My teaching responsibilities have included courses
such as Environmental Education, Health Education, Teaching
Science Strategies, Methodology, and Technology.
In 2018, I took on the role of Program Coordinator and Instructor at the
Arab Open University, where I coordinate and teach courses focused on Environmental
Education, Teaching Science for Elementary Education, and Teaching
Science Strategies for Elementary Teachers. From January 2016 to December
2020, I held the position of School Principal at Beirut Modern School, where I
led a team of approximately 80 staff members, including 65 teachers. My key
contributions included implementing strategies to modernize the school,
increase student enrollment, and enhance teacher retention.
In addition to my teaching and administrative roles, I have conducted
numerous workshops across various educational institutions, sharing my
expertise in science education and teacher development. Previously, I served as
the Biology & Chemistry Coordinator and Instructor at Hariri High School II
from 1990 to 2016, where I taught biology to grades 7–12 and chemistry to
grades 11–12. Earlier in my career, I taught chemistry to middle school
students at Rawdah High School (1996–2000), biology to freshmen at Beirut
Computer University (1994–1995), and general science to middle school students
at Adventist Secondary School (1987–1990).
My extensive experience
in teaching, curriculum coordination, and school leadership has equipped me
with a deep understanding of educational needs and effective strategies for
supporting student and teacher success.
