Part III.
How will your community
benefit from your participation
in the program? Describe at
least two ways you will share
what you learn with your
school and/or community.
As I mentioned earlier, I attend math seminars every Saturday and we sometimes go to local
schools to take master classes as Presidential School teachers. If I study at the Fulbright TEA
program, it will allow me to get acquainted with the United States curriculum, and I will be able to
share this experience with Uzbek teachers. Mathematics in Uzbekistan is very strong and
encourages schoolchildren to study hard curricula. Unfortunately, not all children are able to study
difficult subjects in mathematics at the same time. By studying at Fulbright TEA, I can learn how to
teach those children and let other teachers use these methods in Uzbekistan.
On the other hand, at the school where I work, many students want to study at universities in the
United States and often ask me about the education system in America. They know me as their hero
who knows everything. But unfortunately, I will say that I have never directly observed the education
system of this country and I do not have enough information. So that
we will have to draw conclusions based on the information we learn from the internet. Studying at
Fulbright TEA would give me the opportunity to give my students the right direction for their higher
education.
Part IV.
During the Fulbright TEA
Program, participants interact
closely with participants from
other areas of the world. What
steps would you take to work
and collaborate successfully
with a person from another
country? Give an example of a
time you demonstrated
flexibility in interacting with
someone from a different
culture.
As I said before, I work at the Presidential School, where classes are based on co-teaching. That is,
I have been working with foreign teachers for three years. In particular, Mr. Peter Sithole is my South
African partner. We teach 9th and 10th grades with him. Earlier in early 2019, when I first started
working with a foreigner, his eating, self-indulgence seemed very uncomfortable to me. But in a few
days, I became very close with him and we have been working together for 3 years now. I also work
in my office with international teachers from countries such as the United States, the Philippines,
India, and Scotland. I follow their teaching methods and get what I need. We also go to Uzbek
weddings with them, organize various parties and eat together. Mr. Peter tells me about his family,
telling him that he has to take care of his elderly parents. In that sense, it is very similar to Uzbeks.
He tells me that one day he will take me as a guest to his hometown of Pretoria. I was very
impressed by the kindness of the foreign teachers, who tried to help others.
A colleague of mine, Mrs. Michele Gaddy, a chemistry teacher, is a very exemplary person for me.
She communicates with her students as closely as her children. The teaching style is very clear to
the children. At one point, she paid SAT exam fees for all 24 students on his account. She said she
would attend my wedding. Of course, I wanted to introduce her to my parents. I realized that people
can get along well with everyone, regardless of religion, culture, or age.
