Dear East African Elementary Magnet School Families

Hello, 

Welcome. Soo dhowaada.أهلا وسهلا ومرحبا

My name is Ibrahim Hussein. I am a dedicated educator who believes that education is the key to making a difference in our world. I have a bachelor’s degree in Social Work and a State of Minnesota Educator's License.  

As a bilingual educator, encouraging others to learn a second language has become my passion. I have over 10 years of experience working with students and families in different settings. My students love to learn  about cultural differences and traditions, and have fun while learning a new language.

I believe that a good education shapes not only minds, but hearts as well. Learning a second language is a great way to keep the brain healthy and sharp, while learning a different culture helps you to be more aware of cultural differences and understand why those differences exist. It also teaches you the importance of respecting cultures different from your own.

"Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd".
