Elevate your teaching with Salaams' cultural insights
Revamp Your Teaching With
A Touch of Qatar
Our training is guided by three golden words: Recognize, Respect, and Reflect. These core principles serve as the foundation for integrating the rich tapestry of Qatari culture, the Arabic language, and the tenets of Islam into the educational framework.
Educators will learn to integrate Qatari cultural narratives into diverse teaching methods. Understanding Qatar's historical, social, and cultural contexts allows teachers to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences, enriching the curriculum and fostering appreciation for local heritage and identity.
Recognize
By instilling a profound respect for local traditions and values deeply ingrained in the community, teachers can effectively create an inclusive learning environment that not only acknowledges but also honors the diverse backgrounds and unique experiences of their students.
Respect
This principle highlights the need for students to see their culture reflected in their learning. By integrating local traditions and values into the classroom, educators can create an environment where students feel recognized and understood, promoting a deeper connection to the material and boosting engagement.
Reflect
By embodying these principles, educators will enhance their pedagogies, ultimately boosting pupils' self-awareness, identity, and engagement within the classroom. This holistic approach not only transforms teaching practices but also nurtures a generation that values and connects with their cultural heritage.

Culture shapes our perspective and influences how we interpret the world around us. Learn how to integrate Qatari culture, history, customs and values into the curriculum to foster identity and belonging. Challenge your teachers to rethink their teaching pedagogies for innovative teaching that inspires students to embrace their roots while fostering a global perspective. When in Rome… Well, you’re in Qatar now. So let’s learn what Qataris do.
Language is the vessel through which heritage and history is preserved and passed down. Language is identity, culture and the lens through which we see the world. Therefore, we must ensure that the language and worldviews we may be teaching do not overshadow or erase the languages and worldviews that are already present in our students’ funds of knowledge. Take the time to learn more about the language your students think and dream in.
Islam is Qatar’s state religion and it's important to take the initiative to understand the beliefs and practices of the local culture. By doing so, you demonstrate respect and a genuine interest in the lives of your students, their families, and the country you’ve chosen to work in. Engage directly with authentic sources to deepen your understanding. Learn what Muslims really believe and why Islam is centered in their lives to have a deeper understanding of your students.
Our Educational Philosophy
Our innovative approach equips educators to weave Qatari values, culture and history into their teaching, fostering identity conscious teaching with creativity and cultural connection in the classroom that is steeped in the rich tapestry of Qatari culture.
