12^th  November-Monastir Pioneer Prep School

Besma MARAOUI was announced today as a Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Expert joining the more than 5,600 educators in the MIE program worldwide. Each year, Microsoft selects innovative educator experts to share ideas, try new approaches and learn from each other through a global community dedicated to improving student outcomes through technology.

Besma Maraoui: “ I’m really thrilled to learn that I was singled out as an MIE Expert. This recognition by a corporation such as Microsoft is a great honor and a boost to make more efforts to improve my techniques of teaching through learning more about Microsoft software and using them to make a difference. Being an MIE Expert gives me the opportunity to share my experience with other experts throughout the world and to train other teachers on using Microsoft software.”

The school administration also recognized our efforts and congratulated us through publishing the certificate on the school facebook page.

As an MIE Expert, educators build their capacity for using technology in both the classroom and curriculum to improve student learning, advise Microsoft and educational institutions on how to integrate technology in pedagogically sound ways and be an advocate at conferences, events and trainings for how Microsoft technology can improve learning.

“Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts are inspiring examples of educators applying new ways of teaching and learning in their classrooms that motivate students and empower them to achieve more,” said Anthony Salcito, vice president, Worldwide Education, Microsoft. “We celebrate and support the work they do every day!”
