The Art of Effective Teaching - Pre and Primary Teacher Training Course

  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

I recently travelled to some places and noticed so many schools being opened, like supermarkets in every corner. Likewise, we see so many online schools sprouting to serve different communities. All this means there is a high demand for teachers. However, even though we have a large number of teachers graduating with degrees and qualifications, only a handful of teachers can effectively teach and produce results. Schools are looking for teachers who know the art of effective teaching in order to serve their communities. The truth is creative, innovative, and memorable teachers are few, and the gap between teaching and actively teaching is getting wider. 

Teachers should be lifelong learners to become effective teachers. While there are numerous professional development diplomas and certification courses, the reality is that most such courses are theory-based, and teachers who qualify hardly benefit from what they have learned. 

This is why we decided to embark on providing unique teacher training courses for Muslim female teachers. We need professional, well-grounded Muslim teachers to educate the next generation to fulfil the purpose of their creation. We need teachers who uphold the correct beliefs and impart beneficial religious and secular knowledge using effective methods and active learning skills. 

We are pleased to announce the first of the series of teacher training courses, Alhamdulillaah. We begin with a fully-fledged Pre and Primary Teacher Training Course - The Art of Effective Teaching. This course is in par with the UK Examination Regulatory Body - Ofqual UK standards. All contents and assignment methods match the standards expected by this body with ensuring the Islamic beliefs and the teaching guidance of our Messenger of Allaah are incorporated.

This means you are getting an opportunity to learn the contents of a recognized Diploma Level 4/5 qualification with real time hands on training which even the regulated courses fail to implement often times. 

The course or the certificate is NOT accredited or affiliated with any assessment bodies. However, the course contents and delivery standards are in par with the Ofqual -  The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulations  -(Examination Regulation Body of the Government of UK). The certificate provided for this course is from Umm Maimoonah and is not affiliated or accredited by any third party regulatory bodies. This course is a professional development course which meets the set standards. 

Our comprehensive training program is designed to provide the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in the classroom. With our knowledge-based sessions, interactive activities, and personalized mentoring, you'll learn how to engage your students, improve their learning outcomes, and advance your own teaching career. Our course covers various topics, including lesson planning, classroom management, and technology integration, so you can be confident that you're getting the most up-to-date and relevant training. Don't miss out on this opportunity to transform your teaching practice and make a lasting impact on your student's education. Details below.
