Abstract |
|
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has begun to undergo significant diversification in addressing the way forward. On April 25, 2016, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman introduced the “Saudi Vision 2030” to address and decrease the country’s dependency on oil production (Rashad, 2016). From this goal came the program, Khebrat, that was designed aiming to diversify the system of Saudi Arabia’s schools through allowing teachers, school counselors, and school administrators to travel to other countries. Where they can observe and learn from the immersion program within the school systems in the other countries.
Through the Khebrat program, participants go through intensive language studies in their countries, then develop a Capstone project and guiding paper which will be translated into Arabic to implement in the system of Saudi Arabia’s schools. The goal is to add more expertise to the transformations that are currently being made and to improve students’ engagement and success (Alayyafi, 2018). This paper was prepared during the immersion phase in Florida Charter Schools in Orange County, where the Capstone project was aimed to develop a counseling curriculum focusing on a way to help Saudi students in making a “box” to represent their “personal self.”
