Hawzah News Agency (Canbera, Australia) -The Annual Australian Islamic Education Forum aims to provide a platform for educators in Islamic schooling (Islamic schools, Madrassah or home educators/home schoolers) to network, build collaborative partnerships, share stories of hope and showcase projects and best practices in Islamic education.
The Conference is proposed to be held on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th February, 2017.
The format of the Annual Australian Islamic Education Forum is designed to be practical and interactive with time for question and answer and discussion between presenters and participants.
The Annual Australian Islamic Education Forum proposes to bridge theory and practice by complementing the theoretical and academic nature of the Annual Islamic Schooling Conference which serves to build the rigor of academic research in the field. This gathering offers an exceptional professional development opportunity not to be missed.
The forum expects participants from Australia in the main. This includes presenters from universities, Islamic Schools, madrassah, home schools/home education - educational leaders, senior teachers, curriculum or teaching and learning coordinators and classroom teachers.
Continuity and Change: Envisioning the way forward for Islamic Schooling in the West

Achieving vision in schools and classrooms
Success stories/case studies in Islamic schooling
Teaching and learning within an Islamic prism
Training and professional learning for teachers of Muslim children
Classroom management and character education in Islamic schooling
Context, relevance and students needs in Islamic and Arabic Studies
