Implement Islamic character building strategies in your classroom, inspired by your Islamic teaching philosophy and your school’s vision for students

Integrate Islamic perspectives into units and lesson plans by gaining the tools and resources to know when and how to integrate Islam into your curriculum

Course 1 — Islamic Education: Purpose and Pedagogy
Course 2 — Designing Curriculum for Islamic Schools
