This course will give your young learner an introduction to the history and traditions of Islam. This class is structured as follows: 1) There will be 5 weekly lecture videos per the course schedule detailed below. 2) For each week, the student will be provided with a lecture guide to help focus them on the important aspects of each lecture. 3) For each week, the student will have a short quiz (10 questions: short answer) that should be completed by the student while watching the lecture; this is to focus them on the important aspects of each lesson, and to aid in knowledge retention. 4) For each week, the completed quiz will be corrected by the professor with commentary and encouragement for the student. 5) For each week, the student will be asked to reflect on which aspects on the lecture and subjects covered interested them the most, and which they want to reflect more on with the professor through the classroom discussion board. Content Overview A particular focus for this course will be ecological responsibility, the challenges facing Muslim communities, the 2015 Islamic Declaration on Global Climate Change, and Islamic ecological initiatives in the world today. The approach for this course will be historical, descriptive, and secular; no personal opinions are offered, only the findings of secular academics will be taught. This is because Religious Studies is a secular academic discipline not based in any religious tradition nor opposed to any. It is history and culture, pure and simple. This class is prepared especially for young learners. The material will be made approachable just for them. For parents, the following is a (very) technical and detailed list of topics and terms for each week of the course. The actual weekly lessons will be delivered so that young learners will easily find them informative and engaging. I make the 'complex' simple to understand!
學習目標
Students will learn about the history, key concepts, and worldview of Islam in relation to ecology, as well as about contemporary responses to environmental issues including climate change.

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
This course includes two sensitive topics: religion and climate change science.
Religion (Islam) will be addressed descriptively from a secular perspective, yet very respectfully with respect to Islamic tradition and sensitive topics. Nothing judgmental or in terms advocacy will be implied at any time. The aim is to be illustrative and informative for young learners about a major world religion of over 1.8 billion adherents worldwide. It will be a great course to learn about different Islamic cultures and traditions.
Climate change science is also considered controversial by some families. The Islamic Declaration on Global Climate Change considers anthropogenic climate change to be a true reality, and which will result in severe (yet still uncertain) consequences for sustainability, economic systems, and human lives. The mitigation strategies, however, are less controversial, emphasizing subsistence agriculture improvements, renewal energy, and minimizing ecological and carbon impacts on the biosphere. All these topics will be addressed descriptively (without overt advocacy). It will be a great opportunity to learn what Islamic cultures are doing in terms of sustainability.
Students will be referred to their parents for questions regarding Islam and Climate Change beyond the scope of this class.
Disrespectful comments about Islam will not be tolerated in class discussions; this will be a safe space for students of all faith traditions, or none at all. Everyone is welcome to attend and learn.

教師專業知識和證書
博士學位 由 McGill University
I have a PhD in Religious Studies from McGill University, and many years teaching world religions. One course I have taught for first year undergrads is "Religious Ethics and the Environment" that covers ecological responses to climate change and other environmental concerns (pollution, resource depletion, sustainable development) which had a special focus on Eco-Islam. This course on Outschool is based on that university course, but tailored especially for younger learners.
