Webinar: How to Connect Islam to Any Subject Through an Integrated Curriculum


Curriculum integration has always been one of those hot-button issues facing Islamic schools. Everyone agrees that it needs to be done — but beyond that we’re largely confused about how to do it.

Luckily, Dr. Seema Imam teaches an entire course on curriculum integration as part of our Online Certificate Program.

We’ve asked her to lead us in a webinar that will tackle some of the foundational topics surrounding curriculum integration that everyone teacher needs to understand, such as:
  • The concepts of integrated curriculum and thematic curriculum
  • How to connect Islamic Studies to core subjects
  • How to create authentically integrated curriculum units
  • Examples of holistic curriculum integration and how to achieve it-
