PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE
M I D D L E
“ There are some things one can only achieve by
a deliberate leap in the opposite direction ”
FRANZ KAFKA
Others of you, may not have taken such
a great leap this year, but by moving
schools, grades or even locations,
within the Middle East, you have
made a change nonetheless which
will also thrust you into the unknown.
Welcome back.
It is often said that our greatest
achievements lie on the opposite side
of conquering our fears and leaping
forward into our dreams. I would like to
encourage you to make a deliberate leap
in the opposite direction of your fears
and embrace all the possibilities that lie
ahead of you in this new academic year
2018-2019.
The Middle East is an exhilarating
place to live and work. There is always
something new to experience both
inside and outside of the school
and the classroom. There are always
new and exciting initiatives afoot.
To make sure you keep your finger
on the pulse of what’s happening in
education, subscribe to Teach Middle
East Magazine’s weekly newsletter

It is the start of a new school year and for
many educators reading this magazine,
this school year marks a leap into the
unknown. Many of you have moved
yourself and possibly your families to a
new part of the world to start a new life
and experience something different.
If this is you, then welcome to the
Middle East.
