The Art of Knowing Curriculum
Purpose
The Art of Knowing Curriculum combines art, storywork, and collective inquiry to teach science that is grounded in ethics and centered on Muslim approaches. This practice of teaching and learning science helps young people develop their Muslim conceptions of justice rooted in humans' responsibility towards others in the world.
This website provides lesson plans, sample texts and pedagogical recommendations.
“It helps the children think critically about what they hear and what they see. It helps them think critically about how they know what they know; how they learn; how they view the world…I think it is focusing their attention on their thinking and how they think.”
–Ms. Mary Catherine Flynn, Director Medina Montessori
