Muslim Teachers Training Conference

About the Conference

Siraj Institute is welcomes you to its Teacher Training program. This program is designed to provide comprehensive training for Muslim teachers of Arabic, Quran, and Islamic Studies. The goal of the program is to support teachers of Islamic schools to increase the quality of their education, cultural competence, and compliance with Islamic ethics and laws. This is especially useful to teachers – who may or may not be Muslim themselves – but are teaching Muslim students, whether the students are adult or young (with respect to pedagogical and anrogogical components), online or in person (technological integration), in one-on-one to large classes (mentorship to lecturing styles). The program is packed with a multidisciplinary approach to tackle all problems of teaching from several angles. While the training is focused on developing the skills for teaching Muslim students in a classroom setting, the resources will be provided on how to integrate Islamic manners and values in every subject matter, whether it is outdoor education or even homeschooling.

This conference is for you if you are:

a teacher in an Islamic school with less than five years’ experience of teaching in any subject.
a Muslim with subject matter expertise and no teaching experience (e.g. have Ijaza in Quran and would like to start teaching Quran, or know the Arabic language well but don’t know how to teach it)
an experienced Quran teacher seeking to refresh and enhance your teaching skills and methodologies.
an online tutor of Arabic for non-native speakers, Quran, and Islamic studies.
a parent – or foster parent – with homeschooled children and wishing to integrate Islamic education into your curriculum.
