Why I wanted to participate in ViVID:

“I am looking for professional development opportunities that open doors of leadership to me in my field as a teacher of LCTL. I was looking forward to connecting with my peers and learn from them. I have recently been involved in creating open-source material in my Arabic classes to advocate for open pedagogy and foster an inclusive environment in our classes. I come as a learner in the first place and with curiosity to explore how my vision of open pedagogy can be adapted in the field. I am excited for more collaborations that target pedagogical innovations. Charting my pathway to intellectual leadership is the key in this journey, and I see my version of leadership in teaching and innovative curriculum design.”
