Mission

The purpose of TeachMideast is to provide free and accessible, high-quality information and resources to enable K-12 educators to teach about the Middle East in social studies and introductory area studies classes. Our core tool is this website, which uses digital media resources to reach users in a globally connected society. Working in conjunction with Title VI university outreach centers, scholars, area specialists, and teachers themselves, TeachMideast provides tools and support to better inform students about the Middle East and Muslim world today, so they are adequately equipped to handle difficult policy decisions in the future.
