Qatar Foundation International and the Middle East Outreach Council's Educator Book Program

As part of its overall mission to support the understanding and teaching of the Middle East as well as Arab society and culture in public and public charter K-12 schools in the United States, Qatar Foundation International (QFI), in partnership with the Middle East Outreach Council (MEOC), is pleased to offer its Educator Book Program which will provide K-12 educators with the opportunity to obtain multiple classroom sets of books recognized by the MEOC Annual Book Awards. The MEOC Book Awards program recognizes outstanding books that contribute to a more meaningful understanding of the Middle East.

To obtain these classroom book sets, educators will read a book from the MEOC Book Awards list and create a lesson plan, classroom project or activity based on the book. In addition, the educator will provide a brief review of the book and how it can be utilized in a classroom context. Upon submission of these deliverables, QFI will purchase up to three classroom sets of the selected book for his/her use in the classroom.

Applications are rolling. See submission guidelines here: http://www.meoc.us/book-awards/submission-guidelines
