Qatar leadership Academy conducts 7th Annual Project fair. Qatar leadership Academy, Al Khor celebrated the student success with a project fair on 2nd May 2019. This year has been extraordinary for teachers of QLA, with students achieving many leadership goals. Our students have been bridging the gap by conducting field trips, collecting scientific data and confidently presenting projects in Art, Math, Humanities, Languages, Physical education, Islamic studies and Qatar history. Thanks to our project based learning initiative, our students have been winning national level awards for their projects. Students have demonstrated their responsibility towards environment and society by conducting socially useful and productive tasks. None of these would have been possible if we did not have the support and encouragement of the parents and the staff. Many teachers have spent extra hours of their free time with students for planning events, like Pi Day, Earth week, sports competitions, project fair, and field trips. QLA project fair provided an avenue for our students to show off their 21st century skills. I take this opportunity to thank the parents and staff of QLA for the success of the project fair. Mr. Sunny Joseph Project Based Learning Coordinator
Grade 11 Business Management Field Trip to Blacklist
At the beginning of this academic year, one of QLA’s alumni, Nasser Hemaidi, visited our Grade 11 Business Management class where he guest lectured on entrepreneurship. Nasser graduated from QLA a few years back, and he now runs a burger restaurant called Blacklist, which is located in Gharafa. To end the year, the class visited Nasser’s restaurant where Nasser, his manager, and chef addressed the class on motivation techniques. These presentations were done over lunch at Nasser’s restaurant. We continued with our goal of making sure that students see the connections between classroom content and real world experiences. Students were able to see how motivation techniques such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs can be applied in motivating kitchen and waiting staff in a restaurant. This field trip was also beneficial in preparing students for a the motivation unit test which has a case study of a proprietor who runs two restaurants and was having to motivation challenges with the staff. As a class we also had the pleasure to share a meal together, which helped teachers and students bond and connect beyond the classroom. As teachers we value spending time without cadets outside of the classroom, and continue to help them see connections of what they learn in the real world. We would like to thank Tac Ali Mohannadi for joining us as an additional chaperone. Further, we are forever grateful to the QLA PR and Facilities departments for helping with the logistics of our field trips.
