My name is Ghada Itani, I am from Beirut, Lebanon. I am an English language instructional coach at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE). I visit schools, evaluate tests, attend classes, assist teachers, find solutions to problems they encounter in class or with students, check their lesson plans, participate in educational days to in-service teachers of all cycles. I also work at two universities, public and private. In the public one I train pre-service teachers on how to prepare lesson plans, and I attend their demo lessons in class. In the private university, I teach English language where students have to write different types of essays, research papers, and technical writing skills. Finally, I teach grade 12 students (last year at secondary school) English language. I am a scout leader, currently a cub commissioner at Lebanese Scout Federation or an Akela Leader. I also groom scout leaders.
