Instructional coaching offers Arabic teachers an opportunity to reflect on their teaching practices and it helps administrators raise the quality of their language program. Tailored to the unique needs of teachers and programs, instructional coaching increases teachers’ effectiveness, student’s engagement with Arabic language and culture, and ultimately leads to better language results. Because students deserve excellent instruction every day, and teachers ongoing professional development.

The performance of Arabic programs is measured by the skill and expertise of their teachers on the one hand, and the linguistic competence achieved by their students on the other. Reaching outstanding performance requires designing programs that meet curricular standards and also ensuring that students are engaged in the learning process. For this to happen, we need to enable teachers to deliver high-quality instruction.
