Teaching About Islam In Today's Schools
Date:
Mar 12 2010 - Mar 13 2010
Location:
Islamic School of Seattle
Islam is a subject about which whole libraries have been written, yet many teachers perceive it as one of the most difficult topics in the curriculum. It has been required in state standards for well over a decade, along with content on all the world religions, and in the wake of the September 11, 2001 and increased US involvement in Muslim regions of the globe, knowledge about Islam and Muslims is at a premium. It is a daunting task for teachers to prepare material that fits into the limited time available, meets constitutional guidelines for teaching about religion, is correlated to standards, and is appropriate for various grade and ability levels.
The Islamic School of Seattle and the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding of Georgetown University invite you to
