Abstract |
|
|
| April 25, 2016, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman introduced his Saudi Vision 2030 to address and decrease the country’s dependency on oil production (Rashad, 2016). From this goal came the program, Khebrat, which was designed with a specific aim to diversify the Saudi Arabian school system by allowing teachers, school counselors, and school administrators travel to other countries to observe and learn from an immersion program within those school systems. Through the Khebrat process, participants undergo intensive language studies in their placement countries then develop a Capstone Project and guiding paper which would be translated into Arabic for implementation into the Saudi Arabia’s school systems. The goal being to add to the existing transformations being made and improving student engagement and overall scholastic success (Alayyafi, 2018). This project and paper were formulated during the immersion phase into an Orange county, Florida Charter School, where the goal of this Capstone is to improve awareness to cyberbullying via workshops and discuss the literature and present a possible initial treatment informed by the research such as Sand Tray Therapy specific to improve connections/communications between the student and his family, the school staff, and increasing community awareness and hope to effectively address cyberbullying. Understanding that at the core of a Capstone paper and project, it is the goal of the Khebrat participant to provide a unique or original idea that would benefit the school system of Saudi Arabia. These aspects were investigated through a 15-minute zoom media presentation to 4 other KSA school counselors from all over the Kingdom who completed a 6-item mixed method survey. The school counselors agreed that the project was both unique and needed as well as a considerable amount of qualitative information was rendered to assist with implementation. |
