Diplomacy

Zaha Dabbah

what I have heard about diplomacy is that it offers the students skills needed for the 21st century, and it improves their speaking and critical skills. I want to know how is it taught, how many hours and how I could teach it in such an interesting way.

I know that diplomacy can give our students more practical English and like skills that the basic English curriculum can. I understand it's a lot of work from other teachers. If like to know exactly what they will need to be successful in the major despite the fact that what's more important to me is that they become "users of the English language" first and foremost.

I've always been interested in the way we, as human beings, perceive the customs, traditions and religion of those who come from other countries. In my opinion, we, as diplomacy teachers, should expose our students not only to political issues but also teach them about the importance of understanding and listening to others.

I know that the Diplomacy major offers students critical skills in analysis and argument that can help them succeed throughout their lives.

I recognize the role that diplomacy plays both on the larger world stage (between countries and leaders) and in more private arenas (work and family). As a citizen of two countries (America and Israel), I also have a unique perspective on the differences in how this skill is utilized internationally and culturally. The whole field of how individuals interact with one another is fascinating to me.

When I was a student, I participated in debate clubs and Model UN groups and now I have the privilege of running an MUN group at my school. I've also completed the training for Conflict Resolution and am presently teaching 11th Graders at our school (Misgav Campus). I already know a lot about Diplomacy, but I'm taking this course in order to be able to teach the other element of the major as our program steadily grows.

I understand the larger picture of the Diplomacy Major, but I'm curious to learn about this particular part of the program. I also want to learn how photojournalism, storytelling, and other elements fit into the overall system. When I presented this major last year to our 9th Gr. classes, I emphasized that this program will help them develop social and professional skills that they will be able to use throughout their lives in a multitude of situations - regardless of where their lives may lead them. I firmly believe this and I'm excited to learn the actual mechanics of the lessons in order to provide these skills to our students.

What I know already about the Diplomacy major is that it gives a wonderful opportunity for students to engage in an authentic and highly relevant subject while strengthening and enhancing their English skills.

I would like to acquire practical tools and knowledge to implement the principles of this study and hopefully create a new and exciting major in school that will contribute to the school's culture and to the students who chose this major.

I’ve been told that this course offers an opportunity to learn and implement 21st-century skills such as: working in a team, understanding and using mass media, and developing interpersonal as well as intercultural consensus-building skills, in addition to abilities in critical and innovative thinking through meaningful learning. I hope that by using these skills students can achieve win-win solutions in difficult situations. Hence, my main aim is to learn how to teach the material efficiently and in an interesting manner.

From I have heard, diplomacy at my school is about teaching effective communication skills, developing critical thinking skills and doing lots of reading. I’d love to learn more about the course and perhaps understand what the students get out of it. Finally, I’d like to learn how to teach this course effectively.

As far as I know, Diplomacy is a major enjoyed by students as well as by teachers. It includes a lot of interesting topics and projects. At the same time, this is not an easy subject, so my main goal is to understand how to teach it in a creative and interesting way.

Adar Shuster

I know that the diplomacy major includes many things such as debate, the UN model, and much more.

I know that the Diplomacy Major is concerned with the ability to lead negotiations, participate in the debates, write and analyze different types of texts, and manage conflicts. In other words, it teaches the students to be real diplomats.
