Online Training for Educators: Teaching the Next Generation
Religious-based bullying, racial incidents in schools, and the lack of proper content in curriculum create a hostile environment for students and a huge challenge for teachers. ISPU has developed tools that empower educators to present accurate information on American Muslims. This virtual training will provide educators with a background on American Muslims as a faith community and create a brave space for educators to interactively discuss challenges and create creative solutions to common problems faced by Muslim and minority students, as well as feature a panel of experts that will address ways teachers can prepare themselves to address religious and racial tensions in the school.
