Aldeen also places strong emphasis on qualified teachers who have the understanding and application of standards for foreign language learning in the 21st century. In 2005, Aldeen hosted a member of the Task Force Committee charged with drafting the Standards of Arabic as a Foreign Language for the 21st century for K-12, under ACTFL in collaboration with the National Capital Resource Center. The translation of the standard to the Arabic language was sponsored by a team from the Aldeen Foundation qualified Arabic teachers.

Aldeen believes that an important step towards becoming a growing professional is active participation in organizations that support and unite teachers.
