Doha-based Tarshid Educational Publications (Tarsheed) has released the second edition of the book *Professional Practices for Teachers: Between Theory and Practice* to coincide with the start of the new school year. The publication aims to support educators in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and classroom application.

Authored by Dr. Rola Qubaisi, Dr. Aziz Rasmi, and Youssef Emhal, the book addresses four main areas: professional development for teachers with an emphasis on reflection and practice; key concepts related to classroom professional practices; strategies for improving the classroom and school environment; and the integration of technology in education.

The publication is designed to enhance teachers’ professional skills while fostering a safe, tolerant, and inclusive learning atmosphere. It offers a comprehensive framework to help educators understand the multifaceted nature of education, encouraging a holistic perspective on teaching and learning.

By combining core pedagogical principles with practical guidance, the book seeks to empower teachers and other educational stakeholders to improve student outcomes and promote well-being. It serves as a resource for developing both theoretical understanding and practical skills relevant to contemporary classroom challenges.

The significance of the book is further highlighted by its shortlisting in the Education and Teaching category of the inaugural Sheikh Yusuf bin Isa Book Prize (2025-2026) in Kuwait, an accolade recognizing contributions to advancing educational and professional practices among teachers.
