Purpose of the Association for Bahá’í Educators Network

The Association of Bahá’í Educators is a network established to foster the exchange of news, experience, research, resources and questions related to the education of children, youth and adults within the principles and teachings of the Bahá’í Faith.

Our aim is to enable participants to exchange views on:
- Models of Bahá’í curricula and lesson plans
- Effective teaching and learning strategies for Bahá’í education
- New approaches to general education inspired by the Bahá’í teachings

This forum gives attention both to education and training activities within Bahá’í communities, as well as to the integration of Bahá’í principles and values in primary schools, secondary schools, colleges and university programs.

Professional educators, researchers, teachers of Bahá’í children's classes, parents, and interested friends are all invited to draw from and contribute to this open resource.

I have been teaching Baha'i children's classes for many years, and have used both the Core Curriculum and Ruhi book 3 (as well as the wonderful material from the Virtues Project). I think it is essential that each of our "Baha'i Schools," - where ...

I think you hit it spot on: Life IS the exam. And review and redoing things are key. Cleanliness is one very good example. Here's basically what you're saying: the simple "how to." I know "how to" cook from doing, but know very little if anything ...

I am happy to report that the wheel of virtues was a great success! It was very eye-catching and many families came by. Many stayed to talk and, consequently, signed up for - and are attending - children's classes! As Joan so eloquently said (belo...
