KSPS Open House
On Saturday October 22nd an “Open House” was held at Makassed KSPS. Parents were very happy to meet KSPS new principal, Mrs. Rana Sabbidine, and KSPS staff. Mrs. Rana started the meeting by introducing herself and summarizing the school’s activities and special events for this year. She emphasized on the importance of implementing the reward-punishment system while dealing with students. Then, the coordinators presented a power point presentation that gives an overview of the curriculum, strategies, behavior policies, and new technologies used while teaching. Many great ideas were shared and this open house provided opportunities for teachers to gain parents' support - opening doors for a good first impression. This meeting created a personal connection with parents and set the stage for continued communication throughout the school year.

Makassed-Davidson ICT Dialogue
When Dr. Mohamed Naffi was visiting his daughter Nadia who is studying for an M.A. in Educational Technology at Concordia University in Canada, he met her thesis supervisor Dr. Ann-Louise Davidson. What was at first a personal familial visit turned out to be the kernel for a stimulating discussion for Dr. Naffi. Indeed, Dr. Naffi thought that Dr. Davidson’s expertise in the use of technology in education, especially special education, could be useful to Makassed Philanthropic Islamic Association in Beirut because they have always been at the avant-garde of educational ideas and have always known how to seize a good opportunity. The acquaintance between the two academics culminated in an academic meeting wherein educationists from Makassed Philanthropic Islamic Association as well as other institutions interacted with Dr. Davidson to share knowlege and common concerns about ICT.
