Teacher Training – Beginner Level

Our classes are different from other menstruation courses. Whereas most stick to teaching a traditional text, we strive to give teachers the tools to teach this knowledge to the masses in a way that they can comprehend, as well as providing an insight of how to deal with common menstruation issues in today’s times.

Additionally, you will be personally trained by a menstruation expert to be very proficient in the rulings and prepared to deliver this knowledge to your community insha’Allah. 

Ustadha Naielah will answer your questions, train you with how to answer student questions, give personal feedback on your quizzes, honor your space to express your thoughts, and much more.

Classes will be a mixture of topics:

• Selected chapters from the ‘Fiqh of Menstruation Simplified.’ (Lochia and menopause will not be covered)
• Practical advice of how to teach the fiqh to young girls and teens.
• Student questions. Students can ask their related questions during the live session or via private email.

Every week students will be assigned a chapter to read from the ‘Fiqh of Menstruation Simplified.’ There will be additional reading or quizzes about the concepts mentioned. Students should estimate dedicating around two hours of additional time outside of the weekly sessions inshaAllah.

The final exam will consist of testing a student’s understanding of the theory taught through a written test and live student presentations. Students will be asked to teach certain topics from the book ‘Blossom: A Muslim Girl’s Period Guide’ to their classmates like a mock class. This will help ensure that students not only learn the theory, but they are guided on how to teach it inshaAllah.

There is no formal certification (ijaza) for this course. Rather, we test the students knowledge and give a passing mark. Our belief is that teacher training programs should focus on helping students to become well-rounded teachers who are equipped to impart knowledge, whereas formal certification (ijaza) comes after years of training.

The group training program is minimally sixteen 75-minute sessions, but there may be a need for more sessions.
