RESOURCE GUIDEBOOK FOR EDUCATORS

Introduction

Dear Educators,

Thank you for your interest in and enthusiasm for celebrating Islamic Heritage Month (IHM). The IHM Resource Guidebook includes over 500 items: an educator's primer; daily morning announcements; books and publications; films and documentaries; curriculum and study guides; writing assignments; art projects; musicians; and a list of speakers, artists and entertainers. The overall objectives of the IHM Resource Guidebook are to showcase “the important contributions of Canadian Muslims to Canadian society, the cultural diversity of the Canadian Muslim community and the importance of Canadians learning about each other to foster greater social cohesion” (TDSB IHM Press Release, 2016). We hope that you and your students find the information useful and engaging.

Respectfully,

TDSB Islamic Heritage Month Planning Committee Co-Chairs, 2017 - 2021
