Lesson Planning Guides and Storybooks
The Core Curriculum Lesson Planning Guides provide teachers with learning objectives and fully-developed sample activities utilizing the arts, sciences, crafts, and other learning methods suggested in the writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Son of the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith. A system of careful training and hands-on practice supports teachers to become fully adept at using these materials to teach children and junior youth. A growing collection of illustrated children’s storybooks enhances the lessons being taught. Click here to see the Core Curriculum Materials.
Core Curriculum Teacher Training
The Core Curriculum Teacher Training, systematically builds the skills to use Lesson Planning Guides and Core Curriculum Storybooks with children. The initial 32-hour training program includes:
- Module One: The Bahá'í Teacher — Station, Role, Qualities and Preparation
- Module Two: The Spiritual Reality of the Child
- Module Three: Teaching through Use of the Core Curriculum Strands
- Module Four: Beyond the Classroom — The Child Development Centered Community
Following this initial period of training, an ongoing series of Teacher Development Workshops assists teachers to continue to develop their skills in classroom management; storytelling; attending to each student's capacity, capability and interest; and provides additional practice adapting lessons to local circumstances. To receive training in the Core Curriculum program, contact your local Regional Training Institute.
