 A
program to train high school students in Jordan and the USA to be
technology assistants for schools in their community. The
initiative is being launched by iEARN-Jordan and
iEARN-USA, in partnership with MOUSE (Making Opportunities for Upgrading Schools and Education),
which pioneered such a program in the New York City area. In April, 2005, Jordanian students spent 3
weeks in New York City receiving training to prepare them to provide assistance to Jordanian teachers and others
in their school communities, as well as train new Squads in the
future. NYC students (Mouse Squads) from Baccalaureate School for Global Education (Queens) and the Freedom Academy (Brooklyn) will travel with an advisor to Jordan
for three weeks in the summer of 2005, to share their training model with Jordanian students and to experience
Jordanian culture. AYUSA is facilitating the student exchanges.
