The host school should plan to arrange a home stay for the ten-day shadow and observation visit. The schools and their faculty should also plan to allow the Jordanian administrators to tour schools and observe classrooms during regular classes; to gain first-hand knowledge of pre-service, in-service and professional development opportunities for administrators and teachers; to learn about parental involvement and volunteerism; observe student council and other student activities and PTA meetings; and to participate in host community cultural outings.
Applicant schools and faculty should be dynamic, creative, open and have a sincere interest in sharing their best practices as well as learning from the experience of others and will be eligible to participate in alumni activities that foster communication between American and Jordanian schools.
