Ben Dunbar Visits from DC

Ben Dunbar in the red tie, is the program director of TCLP (Teachers of Critical Lanugages Program) with American Councils for International Education. He, the man who facilitated bringing our exchange teacher Mohamed El Naggar from Egypt, was here today for a site visit. American Councils works closely with the State Department Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. He observed our Arabic classes and met with administration, counselors, and district specialists to promote the Arabic program. We are excited to have him here as Utah is becoming a strong force for Arabic education at the public school level. He meets tomorrow with UFLA administration (Utah Foreign Language Association), Gregg Roberts (World Language Specialist at the Utah State Office of Education), people at the governor's office, and many more.
