        The aim of this study is to identify teachers’ attitudes towards using digital storytelling (DST) to support teaching amongst teachers at Al-Awqaf Schools[1] in Jerusalem. To achieve this purpose, the researcher used a questionnaire composed of 23 items. This questionnaire was distributed to 27 male teachers and 91 female teachers. These teachers are from different age levels, teach different subjects to different grade levels. This study was conducted during the first semester of the academic year 2024-2025. The researcher used different statistical procedures which fit the collected data. The results of the study revealed that most of the teachers at Al-Awqaf Schools in the city of Jerusalem have positive attitudes towards using DST to support teaching. Moreover, the attitude of females toward using DST was more positive than the attitude of males. There were no significant differences in attitudes towards using DST among teachers due to age, taught subject nor to the students’ taught level. Based on the results, the researcher recommends the following: First, schools are requested to offer courses to give teachers a chance to practice and improve their knowledge of using DST, its effects on learning and the media that can be used to operate and create digital stories. Second, teachers are required to pass their knowledge and experiences to their colleagues and students and to encourage them practice DST in classes for teaching and learning.
