Why Is Hanan Al Hroub Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Hanan Al Hroub is a Palestinian teacher who in 2016 was the second winner of the Global Teacher Prize, which specialises in supporting children traumatised by violence. Career She grew up in the Dheisheh Palestinian refugee camp near Bethlehem, where she experienced and saw violent acts, and her own children were traumatized by a shooting incident in which her husband was shot in his car on an Israeli army checkpoint. She was studying English at university and wanted to become a translator. She decided to work in education after her 9-year-old twins, and her 6-year-old son were shot at by Israeli soldiers in October at the outset of the Al-Aqsa Intifada. She teaches Palestinian children in refugee camps, and her slogan is "No to Violence". She uses a specialised approach she developed herself, which uses play that is aimed at resolving violence and tension. The method is detailed in her book, We Play and Learn. She has said that when she started teaching, "the violence that kids were seeing in the streets, they were carrying into the classroom," but that after a few months, their behavior and attitude improved dramatically.
