Course description: With over 1.6 billion people who actively practice the faith and its traditions, Islam is the second largest world religion (World Atlas, 2017). Today, teachers and administrators are seeing an increase in students who actively practice their faith in school, are more involved in social justice issues, and have a desire to have updated and relevant curricula in their school. This course will cover the Islamic faith, it’s traditions, and the experience of Muslim students in today’s educational setting. Participants will be guided through the process of supporting Muslim students, and be given ideas on how to ensure students with different faith traditions and beliefs find a voice to express their needs and interests in their classrooms.
