Case: Teaching Religions Chronologically or Based on School Culture?
Your school is on a 50 minute period schedule and you are in the middle of teaching a unit on Southwest Asia in an ethnically diverse school. Your standards include comparing and contrasting the three major religions in this region: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. You decide the most logical way to teach religion is chronologically so you start with Judaism on Monday, then Christianity on Tuesday, and then teach Islam on Wednesday. On Wednesday afternoon the principal calls you in letting you know that a several of the parents of Muslim children are offended because you you taught Islam last and are assuming that you think it is not as important and/or you have an agenda. What would you tell the parents and how might you teach it differently next year?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would explain to the parents that you were simply teaching the three religions in chronological order and Islam just so happens to be third. Moving forward I would include this information on the syllabus that is sent home to parents, so that they are fully aware of the content and expectations of the course. |

| Comments: This solution is the best because it explains to the parents the reason behind teaching Islam at last and provides a reference on what to do to avoid having this same problem in the future. |
