Hi to all - Glad to finally see some posts from potential AJA people. Info has been very hard to get - apart from what is available on the schools website. While I (and partner) are looking forward to the 'sand change' - there is a small amount of apprehension - but I guess that's normal behaviour. I'm someone who has spent over a decade heavily involved in social constructivist teaching frameworks here in Australia and I wonder how I might cope if I find I am confronted with extreme structure -or worst case scenario, discover that I am to adopt a rigid and inflexible teaching style...the photo's depict young children engaged in play (although adults in the 'yard' are standing above them, I figure that's personal choice?), children accessing their personal journals - and western imagery in the background, which gave me a sense of tolerance and acceptability - which partly led me to apply and later accept a position at AJA. I guess, at the end of the day - its all experience and what better way to learn from it than to be involved in it! Can't wait to check out the gold souks (souqs ?)!! So - If anyone has some 'inside' info - on curriculum and gold prices...would love you to share.
