Coming from Egypt, I have twelve years of experience in teaching Islamic Studies in the primary department. I was in charge of leading teams in implementing creative pedagogies to ensure that high standards of Islamic Studies are embedded in the IB curriculum. I try to make my students discover and understand religious traditions as well as appreciate the cultural differences in the UAE today. Engaging students and stimulating them intellectually through curiosity including the use of effective questioning, presentation and resources is a key factor in captivating a child’s attention and knowledge retention.
