Assessment |
1. |
|
|
Authentic assessment methods will be used to assess students' levels of understanding of the themes taught. Students will be assessed using a variety of assessment tools that may include projects, portfolios, assignments, quizzes, checklists and others. Programmes are not assessed by examinations as the purpose of aLIVE programmes is to nurture practising Muslims who understand and appreciate the beauty of the teachings of Islam.

Curriculum |
1. |
|
|
The aLIVE programme focuses on these core components in Islamic Education: - Tauhid and Fiqh,
- Sirah and Islamic Civilisation,
- Quranic Literacy and Understanding,
- Akhlak and Lifeskills.
The programme is designed to suit the developmental stages and learning needs of students as they grow. For example, a topic on bulugh (preparation for puberty) is briefly introduced to 9 year olds. It is later discussed in depth when they are 12 years old and revisited again at age thirteen. This is done so that appropriate topics can be introduced gradually at different stages of the students' lives. This will impact them meaningfully given their increased maturity, and where possible, learning is applied to their daily lives.

Teachers must have received formal training in Islamic religious knowledge. Many of the teachers are graduates of established Islamic learning institutions such as Al-Azhar University and the International Islamic University of Malaysia. As part of aLIVE teacher development, teachers also receive training and guidance on implementing the aLIVE curriculum, engaging students in learning Islam, designing lessons, managing student behaviour and assessing students for learning.

aLIVE teachers' professional development is guided by the aLIVE Teacher Competency Framework. The framework outlines the knowledge, skills and attributes that are required of aLIVE teachers. It includes Islamic content knowledge, teaching and facilitating skills as well as leadership skills. Teachers are given opportunities to attend courses and participate in learning activities that support the development of these competencies throughout their career in aLIVE. Training and development activities are heavily subsudised by the Teachers' Training Grant.
