Throughout my years at World Learning, I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet with many of our participants, partners, and alumni—a global network of learners. Our programs help them understand other cultures, master new skills, and cultivate networks. Our teaching and training methodologies empower them to find locally relevant, sustainable, and implementable solutions. Our approaches emphasize flexibility and adaptability that help them tackle real-world problems.
They, in turn, make extraordinary changes in their lives and communities.

Program Description
BP-STEAM supported Egyptian teachers in developing inclusive and effective STEAM instructional practices.
The Best Practices in STEAM for Egyptian Teachers (BP-STEAM) program’s overarching goal was to prepare students to become skilled problem solvers, ready to contribute to Egypt’s increasingly competitive workforce and 2030 strategic vision. The program benefitted 75 public and private elementary and middle school teachers from the Upper Egypt governorates of Qena, Luxor, and Minya. They completed a 5-day training program focused on applying concepts from Project-based Learning, Content-based Instruction, and Universal Design for Learning to improve student outcomes. The program also benefitted 120 primary school students who participated in lessons that comprised the teacher practicum component of the training program. Approximately 5,250 indirect student beneficiaries also learned from their teachers’ increased motivation, knowledge, and skills.
Program Goals
- Equip 75 teachers with the skills to integrate STEAM pedagogical principles into their elementary and middle school instructional practices.
- Create opportunities for 75 Egyptian educators to exchange ideas with U.S. educators about the challenges and opportunities of interdisciplinary learning.
- Build student interest, knowledge, and motivation to learn STEAM by having 120 primary students participate in hands-on, engaging STEAM lessons.
