SUMMARY:Providing a Path to Ihsan: How to Teach Islamic Studies Effectively to Every Age Level - Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Sound Vision Canada is thrilled to offer a much-needed teacher training series with the expert\, Abir Catovic. \nIslam is a rich tradition possessing an ocean of information. The key to educating our children\nabout their faith is not by striving to teach them everything about Islam\, which is an impossibility.\nThe key is for Islamic Studies to address the appropriate Islamic concepts at the proper student\ndevelopmental levels. In this teacher learning series\, we will ascertain what the sources of Islam\nsay about properly teaching Islam. We will also delve into the student stages of development and\nuncover the essential teachings and methods required to help students develop a healthy relationship\nwith their Creator which naturally promotes Islamic character development and the desire to strive\nfor Ihsan or excellence in all aspects of life. \nPlease note that these sessions are intended to provide instructional guidance for parents\, Islamic\nStudies educators\, and all those involved in children’s Islamic education. Educators are invited to\npartake in this learning series to enhance their understanding of various aspects of Islam which\nmay increase their classroom effectiveness. \nWe are offering a five-part series with the third session to be hosted on Nov. 21 at 7 pm EST\, insha Allah. \nRegistration is not limited to the participants of Parts 1 and 2. We invite all those who are interested to join. \nCan’t attend live? No problem! The video recording and presentation slides will be shared with all those who sign up. \nA Sound Vision Canada Certificate of Completion will be issued to the attendees who participate in Part 1 and at least one other module. \n A Sound Vision Canada Certificate of Distinction will be issued to the attendees participating in all five modules. \nSession Highlights: \nHow to Teach Islamic Studies for Grades 3-5  \nFoundations for Practice – Utilizing the Pillars of Islam to realize the responsibilities of a Muslim  \n\n\n\nTransitioning from the Pillars of Faith to the Pillars of Islam\nThere is Wisdom Behind the Practice\nAccessing the Primary Sources of Islam\nIslam is More than Pillars\nThe Role of a Vicegerent\n\n\n\nThe upcoming modules in the series will be hosted once a month and will focus on how to teach Islamic Studies effectively to learners: \nGrades 3-5  – Foundations for Practice – Utilizing the Pillars of Islam to realize the responsibilities of a Muslim (NOVEMBER 21\, 2024) \nGrades 6-8  – Foundations for Conviction – Utilizing the Qur’an\, Sunnah and life context to establish Islam as the way of life  (DECEMBER 19\, 2024) \nGrades 9-12  – Foundations for a Righteous Life – Establishing Islam as the basis for the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of life (JANUARY 9\, 2025) \nThe registration fee for each module is $20.
