(While consistent involvement for Emirati students in campus leadership occurs in all phases (i.e., event planning, house leading, journalism, participation in national commemorations/religious observances, and the imparting of knowledge of Emirati values and heritage to younger counterparts), they represent a remarkable minority among the student population (less than 10%). Nevertheless, Nibras endeavors to expand Emirati involvement to even more areas, like international initiatives (i.e., Model United Nations, Overseas Service Trips, and ISP's Buddy Exchange Program) and the sharing of information on innovations in national governance through intermittent announcements (i.e., the UAE's recent creation of a National Human Rights Institute) coordinated by Nibras' "Emirati Moments" Team.)

Adapted from International Baccalaureate’s “Global Context,” this unit plan “add-in” will stand as ONE of the overarching questions (conceptual, debatable, and global) that are a requirement for all unit plans.  This question should be linked to: identities/relationships, place/time, personal/cultural expression, scientific innovation, globalization/sustainability, or fairness/development.  This question may also be reflected on the World Wall.

(This component develops inquiry skills and knowledge of the world within various contexts.)

# data[].attributes.body
Each classroom is to create and maintain a “UAE Wall” of any size/shape.  This wall should display any unit-relevant content that can be associated with the UAE (i.e., images, vocabulary, articles, etc.).  The content should change at least twice a month and be referred to frequently.  Each teacher should designate a creative title for this board as well. It is recommended to task students with its upkeep throughout the year.

(This component provokes students understand "National Identity" better by making real-world connections to the UAE.)

# data[].attributes.body
Each classroom is to also create a “World Wall.”  This wall should display any unit-relevant OR student-related content that can be associated with “internationalism” (i.e., images, vocabulary, articles, etc.).  The content should change at least twice a month and be referred to frequently; it may also display aspects of the Global Perspective Question or an interdisciplinary project.  Each teacher should designate a creative title for this board as well. It is recommended to task students with its upkeep throughout the year.

(This component allows for not only, student initiative and innovation but also the development of "critical faculties" for which to analyze our world.)

# data[].attributes.body
All required Social Studies classes (grades 6 to 10) are assessed on UAE Standards twice per term.  These assessments are done electronically and data on progress and attainment against assessed UAE standards is tracked.  Additionally, these standards reflect various question styles to provoke critical thinking, develop students' critical "faculties," and promote learning through assessment.

(This component [will] effectively yield important data regarding progress and attainment while promoting "learning through assessment" as these assessments incorporate a variety of question styles, texts, and deep thinking questions.)

Nibras values the notion of an authentic "educational community" which unites faculty, scholars, parents, and community members and recognizes the influence of each, both off and on campus. Starting in late November, parents and community members will be invited to Social Studies classes to give lectures, lead discussions, or even teach lessons on a topic of relevance to their personal experiences. This will be a great opportunity for both parties the speaker and Nibras scholars.

(With more than 80 nationalities on campus, Nibras seeks opportunities daily to celebrate difference. Across all phases, students at Nibras have been continuously exposed to internationally-inspired projects, presentations at campus events, and various commemorations from around the world (like World Food Day and Nowruz). Among students, this has greatly contributed to an increase in cultural awareness and appreciation (especially for that of their own). Also, the implementation of Home Country Studies classes for non-Islamic students has emphasized this as well as encouraging students to look more closely at ties between their home country/countries and the UAE.)

(Ramadan of 2019 brought amazing learning opportunities to Nibras, especially for its community iftaar which featured student-led activities, food and games from parents and community members, recognition of student achievement in Islamic and Arabic classes, and an overall warm and friendly atmosphere for Nibras families and community guests to enjoy a meal together. Every phase of the planning, logistics, and clean-up involved phase 3 and 4 students who all showed great initiative and care with their various tasks.)
