PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
In order to provide world wide accessible and convenient training, we are offering the Ihsan Educator Certificate Program™ online for educators and parents who are looking for training based on the type of content offered in a post secondary program in education. The program is suitable in particular for Islamic, International and Private Schools as well as homeschooling parents and networks.
Program modules are designed using the latest research by professionals in education to provide teachers with the essential pedagogical skills, reflective practice and professional support network they need to enable students to succeed academically and morally in a global context.

This module will focus on building a school culture which adopts a moral based framework to focus on character education or teaching “Ihsan” (Excellence).

It will delve further into how specific moral values including compassion, respect and generosity can be incorporated in the classroom and in the school by discussing practical strategies for character education.
MODULE 2: Teaching for a Global Context in the 21st Century
This training module will discuss how we can teach for a global context in the 21st century that takes into account a diversity of religions, beliefs, and cultures. It will discuss how we can ensure students are well rooted in the correct understanding of their faith but able to navigate the challenges of and thrive in a diverse society through understanding the importance of social-emotional learning and teaching students skills such as compassionate communication, dialogue, and conflict resolution.
MODULE 3: Increasing Student Engagement through Using Cooperative Learning Strategies
This training module will give you an introduction to inquiry based teaching and learning which is an approach that empowers students to be involved in their learning by encouraging them to use inquiry and critical thinking skills to develop new understandings and ultimately take positive action. In turn students become lifelong learners who are more creative, positive and independent. This is the model of learning used in many private schools and is now being introduced into the public school system in Canada.

In this training module, we will discuss the importance of creating safe, inclusive and equitable classrooms which will enable a teacher to exercise effective classroom management skills.

MODULE 5: Planning Inquiry-based Teaching to Inspire Excellence
Cooperative learning is an organized and structured way to use small groups to enhance student learning and interdependence. This training module will enable you to plan and implement cooperative learning activities which provide a more enjoyable learning environment and increased student engagement, motivation, retention of information, and the use of discussion and critical thinking and team-work skills by students which are essential skills for future success.
MODULE 6: Authentic Assessment
This training module will discuss ‘authentic’ assessment which is a way of evaluating knowledge and accomplishments that is ‘worthwhile, significant, and meaningful’ instead of multiple choice standardized tests. You will be be able to plan for both formative (assessment throughout learning) and summative (assessment at the end of learning) by becoming familiar with a variety of assessment tools and techniques.
