"QA is guided by the principle that quality education involves the development of a student's cognitive, physical, social, moral and affective capabilities to the extent that innate capacity and modern pedagogy can achieve"

Flat Classroom Conference
Qatar Academy is proud to be the host of the first Flat Classroom Conference: Leadership Workshop and Student Summit to be held January 24-26, 2009 in Doha, State of Qatar. This conference has been kindly sponsored and supported by HSBC Bank Middle East Limited.
The Flat Classroom Project is a global, collaborative project using Web 2.0 tools for connection, communication, collaboration and creation. The concept and practice of 'flattening' your classroom draws on 21st century pedagogical practices that include personal learning networks, online learning and a constructivist approach using established and emerging technologies.
Students and educators are coming internationally, from places such as Ethiopia, India, USA, Australia, to Doha to work together on creating the future of education. There will be virtual participation as well through our conference wiki and Ning.
