What Muslim Students Wish You Knew: Supporting Youth in Tackling Islamophobia

Join us for this important Professional Learning opportunity that explores how we can best support our Muslim students learning and wellbeing during a time of increasing Islamophobia. Together with the staff from the Islamophobia Register of Australia we will explore:

• The data around Islamophobia in Australian communities

• The impact of Islamophobia on student learning and wellbeing

• Services that support Muslim students and their families in the event of an incident including culturally responsive support and reporting options

• Ways to enhance a sense of safety and belonging in our classrooms

This workshops aligns to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers in the following standards:

4.4 Ensure students’ wellbeing and safety within school by implementing school and/ or system, curriculum and legislative requirements.

1:3 Design and implement teaching strategies that are responsive to the learning strengths and needs of students from diverse linguistic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds.
