Fostering affective attention to lead coherent school change
With equity and inclusion as national education priorities in Australia, school leaders commonly articulate aspirations related to embedding intercultural understanding, indigenous ways of knowing and/or culturally responsive pedagogies school wide. But at the same time, dominant discourses related to school improvement driven by neoliberal demands emphasize narrow measures of numeracy and literacy, data‐driven instruction and adopting decontextu…
Critical dilemmas in leading whole school renewal in an Australian Islamic school
Many Australian Islamic schools are recognized for high academic achievement, increasing enrollments and low parental dissatisfaction. However, research highlights questions about their fulfillment of core visions. This article argues that tajdīd (‘renewal’) – an innovative paradigmatic framework – offers a transformative approach to making Islamic schools vision-driven. The study critiques conventional paradigms of school improvement, suggesting…

Laying Foundations for Islamic Teacher Education
Increasingly, educators committed to the vision of Islamic schooling are expressing sentiments of moral dissonance. On the one hand, they choose Islamic schools because they aspire to affect hearts, nurture whole human beings, and grow spiritually while impacting their learners’ sense of higher purpose.

This study utilises qualitative research methods, specifically portraiture to shed light on the experiences of in-service Islamic school educators, with varied backgrounds and religious affiliations in a cohort of the Graduate C…

In Australia’s public schools, despite significant curricular and pedagogical advances in the areas of equity and inclusion, it remai…

Introduction to Special Issue
This special issue focuses on critical perspectives in the emerging field of Islamic education globally
Islamic Studies in Australian Islamic Schools
This paper provides insight into senior secondary learners' views on Islamic Studies (IS) in three large Australian Islamic schools. This study offers a 'dialogic alternative' of 'speaking with' rather than 'speaking for' learners in Islamic educational research, planning, and renewal within K-12 Islamic schools. The study privileges learners' voice and enables an insight to their experience with one of the most important features of Islamic scho…
