Center Announces Launch of Professional Development Workshops for Educators
The Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim Christian Understanding at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University announces that it is offering a series of full and half-day professional development workshops for teachers from elementary through high school. School systems, outreach organizations and others may select from a variety of content modules that are correlated to national and state academic standards and curriculum frameworks for teaching about Islam and other world religions. These modules provide content knowledge and lesson materials on specific historical and contemporary issues related to Muslim regions of the world, and link to many subject areas in the curriculum such as math, literature and the arts.
The workshops will be conducted by ACMCU Education Consultant Susan Douglass. She is a published author of teaching resources and curriculum research on Islam and Muslim history, world history and geography, and academic standards. Ms. Douglass has presented workshop sessions for public school systems, private schools, university outreach programs, governmental and non-governmental agencies, and professional conferences for over a decade.
For further information or to schedule a workshop tailored to your organization’s needs, contact SusanD@CMCUworkshops.net or call (703) 442-0638. The ACMCU workshops are fully funded, and require at least 25 participants.
