The challenge 

Mofet Institute was asked to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in all ten colleges. the findings will serve as a basis for deciding how to continue the program. 

My involvement 

Leading Planning and managing an assessment group that includes responsibility for a team of academic researchers, a statistical consultant, a translator and a linguist. Together, we constructed and evaluated the program at ten Israeli education colleges, and created evaluation reports for target audiences (the Ministry of Education and the program leaders at the colleges).

The social impact:

• The evaluation findings should reflect students' improvement in four areas (Arabic language, academic literacy, social involvement, and practical training) so that their students will have better teachers in these skills.
