Hasan Ali – What is progress in Maktabs

			If you didn't
		

			have that
		

			taken
		

			just been laid off money Rahim Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
		

			on request of the masjid Masha Allah machine discipline Maria half is more or less out we've
organized a wonderful program in sha Allah. We're just having a short sort of training Naseeha and
as you can see by the title, it is what is progress in mcnabb's. Sorry for the slight delay, we're
hoping to have two sessions Inshallah, the first session will focus on as you saw in the poster, how
to measure progress within your Masjid timetable. That's the first session in sha Allah, which it
will deliver, and then we'll have a short break. And after as well. The second session will focus
upon how to measure impact outside of the classroom long before students leave them whether they're
		

			16 or 17 years old inshallah. So without any further ado, I'll hand over to Sheikh Hassan Ali, as
many of you know, a short introduction on the last year he's been working within the fitment of
publications, academies, Microtubes systems, many things purely within improving the standards and
methods for more than 25 years Alhamdulillah so the so much experience inshallah the chef will share
not just from a UK wide from the own individual suffering academies branches that we have in London,
but also advising academies and methods, Islamic schools across the world are hamdulillah so chef
Bismillah over to you first session how to measure progress within the mushiya timetable.
		

			You visual
		

			doesn't come in welcome.
		

			So, first thing is people please hold on people who
		

			have been highly recommended.
		

			Okay, welcome to the bank of Ghana, middle salatu, salam ala say you don't want to be the Marmolada
		

			we've got quite a bit to deliver in this short period. So you're going to have to keep your brain
switched on and move on with me because I'm not going to repeat so much. So one of the first things
in terms of trying to get your monitor progress done, you have to have a few things in place.
		

			So I'm going to try and mention this as as short as I can. But these are huge things which you have
to have in place. So one is are you an independent? Are you an independent organization? Or are you
under a mustard committee under another organization that tells you what to do? Because your
independence is really, really important for you to make this day all these progresses, the checks
in place, you have to be independent, there is no way you can do this. If for example, let's say
I've got a class of 15 students, and all of a sudden, a committee member comes along to me and says
to me, you know, you have to end you have to put another two kids in here, not three kids in here
		

			because, you know, they are sons of abdomens,
		

			because they're the buttons of you know, our founders of this metal was one of the 80s You can't do
this, okay, you can't have in fact the fees that we're charging, the amount of things that I'm going
to talk about, you have to make sure that you fees.
		

			They cover all of those expenses. You shouldn't be a marketer that is either just struggling to meet
and make ends meet and you shouldn't be committing a murder or sell something that is going out
there and getting Chanda or getting donations to keep your masjid or your your your mother set
afloat. And the masjid should never see the Madras
		

			Are the marketers as a means of making money for themselves? This is a total no go. Why? Because
most marketers do not make monies. If they're making monies, something's going wrong in the sense
that in a sense that look, you got, you got a lot to get done, you've got a whole years of stuff to
pay not only that, you I'm going to tell you additional stuff that you need to get in place for this
progress in all this progress to be checked.
		

			If you're making a little bit on top of Hamdulillah, that's really healthy with all your admin costs
everything else. But if you're making a lot a lot of money, usually that's because you're oversized,
you've got less staff to most students, the fees are coming in purely to keep the masjid you know,
funded. And that shouldn't be the case and a lot of places they make this, you know the debaters
huge mistake of doing this huge mistake. Okay? Now, I'm going to say to you want to independent,
your staff or your staff, the ratio of your staff to students is really important. So we usually put
15 to one teacher, that's our ratio. Okay. So that's usually 15 students in a class to one teacher.
		

			And the fees are worked out for for all these different things, I'm going to say, number one, your
biggest cost is going to be your teacher salaries, and as money. So so let's say for example, your
mother has 90 Children, you're gonna have straightaway six teachers.
		

			If your mother with 150, students, you're going to need to have, you know, 1010, teachers, with
those 10. Teachers, when you've got 250 Kids, you've got 10, teachers, you need money to have to pay
for an administration person who's there every single day of your monitor, just working, okay, for
all the other things, but these teachers should not be dealing with any anything else except for
teaching. So that admins cost needs to come out of your fees as well. You also need an Emmy for all
the progress I'm going to talk about right now, you're going to need me in what is an Amiga or head
of Microsoft, what does he do, he has no teaching, you know, he doesn't go into the class and start
		

			teaching, he looks over the entire market of the entire model search, you've got the 10 teachers
that teaching he looks over the admin side as well, he's in charge of the entire thing. And he's,
he's floating around, during the entire amount of time, he will go around the classes and he will
see that the teachers are doing their duties that they should do, there's no way you're gonna get
progress check. If you don't have a man above the, you know, all the teachers going around and and
you know, actually seeing what, what what they're doing. So you have to have, you have to have that
in place. So now, you're you're going to have some methods that have costs for for books, okay? Now
		

			books charge, you can either put them within the fees, or you can get parents to pay for it
separately. But if they pay for it separately, you've got another headache of getting the money's in
twice instead of once. So look, I've said, I've said this, I'm going to put it again, in a nutshell,
independence from a committee, you need to be independent, you need to charge the right fees to make
sure you cover all your teachers, your admin, your amid, okay. And if you want to include your books
or any other admin costs, you've got papers, photocopies, this now whatever you might have, all of
that needs to be there, then you're ready to go with what we say. Now, one further thing is your
		

			teachers need to teach now that the way that you structure your two hours or you structure your 10
hours a week or eight hours a week, your teachers need to teach everybody the same subject. At the
same time. I get a hold of this. Because a lot of times what they do is they might have 123 teacher
that the teacher will teach one hour to do it first hour, then what happens is those students go to
the STEM studies teacher and the STEM studies. As you know, students will come all the way to the
treat teacher. Now if you're doing this, you are you are teaching your teacher that every teacher is
covering many different students he did he did that with all the time. But what you're not doing is
		

			you're not able to fit in the system. I'm going to talk about the system I'm going to talk about
works fine but perfectly well. If you have 100 at one time only teach that teaching to be or when I
say Tajweed I mean in there there's Haida in Arizona in there there is the Quran in the day stage
with classes to get books, whatever, at that one moment, every person in the entire matter of others
that needs to be teaching them.
		

			Okay, when you move to the Sooners Grazi sudras or member
		

			reservation, whatever you want to call it, okay? At that time, the entire market leader Madison is
to do that. When you move to the salmon studies lesson, the whole place needs to be doing some says
at the same time. And why that is, is because you have now got the flexibility of shifting students
around according to their abilities. Okay, I'm gonna get a hold of this, according to our suffer
Academy suffer complications, the way we work down, and we've been doing this for 25 years, okay?
The way the best way it works is when your teachers are all teaching Islamic Studies, okay, this is
the only one where you go by age group, age group is only when you teach Islamic Studies books,
		

			because the books have been designed for the content in those books are for those age groups, you
cannot take them further than the age group. Why because the contents are going to get too heavy for
them or the contents are going to become something which is above the heads for example, event year
for school student is doing a year six book here, because our year six book is caught in
correspondence with the schooling system out there with the year six outlet. So when you have a year
for students, during the year, six of all of a sudden they're going to come across matches to do
with puberty. matches to do with puberty. Now, there's no such thing for that age group, when
		

			they're eight years old, or you know, they're covering something that is 1011 years old. It's just
it's just going to talk about the Hindus now going back to the standard resonate with them. Plus our
books have been placed on that every year of the curriculum. In school, we've played something that
touches on that side. So when they're bombarding the students with you know, do you believe in God
in the RSC lessons? Will you believe in God? Do you believe in Steven when they're combined with
atheism, our books in that age of God in them and putting putting the score right by telling them,
these are your values for your feelings, I don't want to get into that you have to look at the
		

			books, you have to look at the age groups, you have to see what's happening, and work that out over
a lot over two decades. We worked out, okay. Now, if you've got those things set in place, okay,
we're going to now move on, right, some of you came late, I'm going to summarize value independence
of a committee member of committee members, you have to be yourself independent.
		

			You have to have your fees covering all your staff, the admin, they have to cover your meal, which
is a person floating around not teaching is looking at and seeing that the entire system is working.
And any other cost of books. So you know, whatever it is, the fees will cover all of that. And then
your timing of your lessons is anything you said so five o'clock is Brian, listen, everybody is
either in the Quran by the Jews or Martin we got back
		

			then this whole progresses now talking about this. So let's move on.
		

			So let's begin with the Promise of Allah Salam, where was the last man said?
		

			Armand, a lot of very famous Hadith. But the most the actions that are most pleasing to Allah, those
that are continuous, although they may be little, now with progress of the pie that Usama the
sewers, the door as the one of 80 learning, they have to come back to those things again, and again.
That's how we learn we learn with repetition. But you give them in small amounts, like the same
things they learn, they will forget, they will forget, and they come back to it and then you
reinforce what you've learned. And our system is based upon that. So we'll go through that. So now
let's,
		

			I'm not as clear for the people at the bad bit. But let's just say they're memorizing something's
due as soon as which is very common in Marxism. And so you've got them learning in a set of drawers,
some sewers or something. Now, what do they do, we have something called a halacha based system. If
you want to know fully about this, you have to go to our teacher training portal. Okay. So you have
to type in just type in Google suffer teacher training, S A F AR teacher training, in that you will
see a whole section to do with the Halacha system, or you'll see a whole system to do with
memorization of lots and sewers. And what that will teach you is this is how we do it. Okay.
		

			We have
		

			students, because of what I've just said analysis, when I told you five o'clock, everybody does
Quran or five, this will translate and so on. The only class where all students are doing it at the
same age level age group is the Islamic studies when it comes to God and sorrows and when it comes
to Pilate
		

			What to add to G, you can put them according to abilities. Now what happens is something very, very
unique here, you can have a child that is eight years old in a Halacha, with other children that are
11 years old, because now the whole month of is doing at the same time. So remember that for your
ease, and you'll see how it works. The students come in, I'm going to say this very briefly, but
please, for a comprehensive approach to this, you have to go to a teacher training portal. I think
there's a full one and a half hour video that we professionally recorded. Now why are we recording
this? It's all free. It's all Morford, which is something that you guys love here. So free or free.
		

			There's another problem that happens when it's free. Sometimes people give no value to it. We spent
20,000 pounds, and two weeks of a whole, you know, professional team together to record just 12 How
many hours is talking about 12 hours of video 20 grand, and a whole team of people professionally
recorded? Why would we do that? Because we were going town to town city to city giving a formal
teacher training on site, it became too much for us, we've got hundreds of doctors across the world
that have taken the system is impossible for us to buy every single location. So then we decided
we'll do the professional recording, and we put it out there free for you to see. So there's a one
		

			and a half hours recording explaining this Holika system. Very briefly, what happens is a student
comes in and they will have a certain circle, let's say for example, they let their learning adhere
to the lack of salvato. Okay, so if this was happening, and the student has joined this group, and
student comes in, this part of the group has about six members in this group. And there is already a
student in that group. He's a student whose past this has passed through the menu system we're going
to go through right now. And this dude is now teaching our students he said, the year two and
everybody that will follow him say, after he had learned they like or Salawat to was follow up to
		

			what point you bad or by event, a salam alayka, a Sarah Moran, a, a you hadn't beat you, if you
haven't read, the whole system is there. In fact, the way I'm pronouncing it, I'm saying it, we've
actually put not only an app that that is there again, there is a Dr. Seuss app you can find on
Google Play and you can find it on the iOS system for Apple phones. Okay, so you can find it on
their own. We've actually got an entire distance learning platform that we created with MobyMax
going to talk about it after the end on the we're going to put all of those recordings so those
recordings of how to say this is on the anyway, the student came in. He is now listening and
		

			repeating. So this is this is him trying to learn let's say for example, we learn the whole of the
childhood up to a shadow another hammer that sort of fine he's been there done every time he comes
there in that circle. He's listening, listening learning and by the way at home we've got we've got
the app that helps the parents with so the students can can go home and they can go over this at
home. Make sure that the correct pronunciation is there and floods up right now. Please make sure
that the pension in the pension is sitting at home the grandfathers the grandmothers were very
excited you know people who want to see the grandchildren progress. I'm not teaching them at the
		

			year to lie the verse saliva to verta you back. Okay. And you know that Allah hamdulillah Hey, Rob
Bell Allah, Allah Allah contactable, right clothes different Tajweed mistakes and then inherited
that passing it on to the students. Student Lindsey right in the Microsoft wrong at home right in
the matzah wrong at home without Davina valuable data, how would I write down that right? We
probably messed up, okay, so don't put the kids through that trauma. Make sure you ban all helpers
at home, including the grannies who are so passionate and trying to see the grandchildren progress.
Anyway, let's let's look at this thing the student now has finally learned what will they do? What's
		

			their way of seeing the progress? Number one you can see is the peer testing that students been
teaching in the hackathon listen to him and say, okay, yeah, I think you should be ready to pass.
That group of six students had another group of four students had another group of five students,
approximately 15 students that the teacher sitting here, let's say I'm the teacher right now, the
other three holidays are monitoring three student teachers want to teach you here once a cheater
that wants to integrate here. And suddenly this this group from the six children learning Acharya to
one of them comes up to me and says, you know, start I'm ready to pass so I listen.
		

			And I think okay, yeah, they're ready to pass. So then we move on to and that's the test with the
teachers that you see which is number two, okay. So you want to next thing which is now I will then
move this students Okay, fine, and
		

			A new teacher here. I'm gonna say him on the go go to the main teacher. This is the third read
expert. So what we'll do in this full system, we identify one person who is very sharp at listening,
because you got to understand, okay?
		

			If you're like, you can become a wonderful ilm, but you probably not a more Ilm.
		

			Okay. You can become a person who is a scholar who knows the knowledge, but you're not the person to
the modeling who can pass it over. I remember monatomic ratanda He wrote in one place, wonderful
thing. He said, I couldn't be sheltered, right? And he said, you can find certain periods and shares
to Assad to him. They're solid, but they're not Muslim.
		

			They are themselves very pious. They're very pious, wonderful results, but they're not Muslim Muslim
is someone who look who take some under them and then rectifies their mistakes. So you can be a
wonderful person who's left the information but you're not a wonderful teacher you're not a teacher
can back down again with this listening we've actually found that certain teachers have got this a
kid listen that can find those little things. Most teachers will know how to say up to here to
probably can't get up those mistakes. Can't you know no one Exactly. You know what, what should we
know what a beautiful thing is to have? See that they don't have that was stretched a little bit
		

			anyway, the point is, they will identify one teacher who's the best at listening, that teacher all
those students who aren't passing on, don't forget, this is my class, we have got 150 students, it
is marked on the socket, you've got 10 teachers, all 10 teachers have got different different
Halaqaat they've got three four highlighters, each one of them has got an underline so I'm sending
students to him somebody else and is to say write that when my student goes to the main three
teacher. Let's say for example, there's a Madonna sitting here in this column shrine, for example,
is demonstrating panache. Right? You know, he's there standing and he's getting students coming from
		

			all different directions and the system will actually listen to them. And he says,
		

			he says, How comes that you know, to hear to hear him and he said, I should have Allah a shabu shabu
Allah servicing that
		

			we have that we have. What I should Well, this one is a software Hamza bin ash, Allah in
		

			shadow Allah and so then why does this okay, go to the teacher and there's a whole profit in our in
our system, there's a whole marking scheme as well, when it's clearly written that he made this
mistake is that it's a pronounciation mistake. We put it all written in our system, you have to see
the book and see the marking scheme to understand what it is so brilliant, because at one point when
he stopped paying down their neck
		

			teacher, the teacher was told the teacher knows Okay, he made mistake over. Did you make this
mistake? The teacher sees the art fine. When the child takes the book home, the parent straightaway
knows what mistake that was was made today and why my students my child number past, I've had all my
three kids go to go to soccer academy. I've never had to go to the teacher and say, why hasn't my
child passed, I just opened the book, see the marking scheme yesterday where I know there's a kind
of pronunciation or a stretch thingy, mistake made here. Again, this whole thing, everything I'm
saying bite size I'm giving you go to a teaching teacher training portal is explained to you to the
		

			finest detail of how this works. Okay, so when you go there, you will see anyway, so now if he if I
send it to the back, and I've got a second student that comes again and says, again, I shall do
online and I'll get the motion will get up. We'll go to the beach and say we just need to say you
know how come you have the second student that coming over here with the same mistake so you guys
get the point. So then the teacher will actually say, Okay, I'm going to now you know, up my game I
make I teach a shadow Allah, I'll tell the student there who's teaching a shadow Allah, okay, make
sure that it's all done with with good clarity. If this student passes, there's a scheme that we
		

			will put the past there, there's a whole internal system will build. Okay, with this internal system
where it's odd, we started with Excel sheets is moved on to a massive system, brother will be
sitting on my left here is going to be shared across Okay, so they will be marked up the master will
receive it in a month or twos time. There's a whole system in the background for you to keep that
record of when that's to pass. So let me quickly move on to the next slide. Sorry. So before this
number four, if for example that's two passes goes to the HELOC when that student can back to the
same attire to halacha which he just passed. He will replace the teaching teaching student that was
		

			there that teaching student now who's doing the group of Allah Allah, Allah Muhammad, and now he's
going to be student over there. This new students will pass a test here to become the teacher and so
he has to not teach
		

			This thing to others and until one person from his group doesn't pass, he's not going to move on to
alarms again. Okay, so that's that's the system
		

			the next thing so we've got here we've got the teacher has a class progress monitoring system and
centralized login when the student passes with the tattooed expert so we're going to log it and our
thing at the bottom you can see that it says three weeks another something's over that it says three
weeks as a minimum we'll try and get every student to pass teachers need to intervene before the
image does not I think I just said I'm actually passing them on to one machine before I pass them on
tomorrow straight I better make sure that my students I can I can get the mistake you know, I've
given some mistakes so that I don't wasted time on monitors right because it's got so many students
		

			you know going to him and this whole flagging system is that is that thing that that will happen and
if you look at the next slide, you'll see part of this where I know the names come with the the
student names on the left hand side and you've got the talking about total passes this system will
tell them about it's a live tables you know the teachers then that the main teacher teaching Okay,
their monastery as Mr. Shea they tend to be the expert, he's got a device in front of them
straightaway he logs
		

			in as we go to your suicide which is the first guy who can search Anyway his past today as logged
into the system. So now it helps so much end of your reports when you've got when you plan to get
back any parents coming when they pass when they hit pass How long did it take to pass you know
total fails and according week since the last pass there's going to be a number there as well how
long we took we try and you know keep it so that every student is passing every single data within a
three weeks period.
		

			Move on to the next one. You've got practical examples of progression
		

			after slavery
		

			zoom people can see it's just
		

			the North.
		

			Okay.
		

			Okay, so we've got practical demonstration. These are practical examples of progress. So this is a
separate thing that we're going to talk about
		

			the Salah, I know you can't sit on the board I'm really sorry about that salah or that will do right
there's just certain examples we will have a hole in our books we'll see the whole practical session
to do with this they have to demonstrate this allow them to go through the salah they have each
state each book targets a different thing of their Salah so in for example book to the Muslim the
just to recap how to do to look at how to be three records have been forecast when they get to Book
Three, they learn about these two the country or country four has forecast sooner than don't ask for
a customer who has to request and so what they've learned the breakdown theoretically and they have
		

			to practically demonstrate that in book four they will learn about the positions in saleha fingers
right Have I got my hands right when I'm standing How about my feet right now there's a book for
concentrates on that like that each state by the time you get to book six, you're now doing the
issue of Salah so now we're concentrating on the internal devotion is been properly mapped out and
our demonstration for this there are weeks where the students will come in they'll be charged on the
on the wall. There'll be a progress thing to check Okay, have you increased your shoe over this? How
do you increase the shoe book since you look at it, we teach them the meaning of Salah we teach them
		

			that they memorize the meaning of what they're saying is a very important part a lot of Muslims
don't have a lot of syllabi or even talking about then we may give them all the encouragement for
the oldest Baba in and they encouraged me to do this. Salah is there throughout all the books. In
Book six particularly We given them a lot of things about constraint how to build the concentration
in Sudan, from the Hadith from the Quran, sunnah and so on. So that's the next thing is in class
every week, the teacher is trying to get the students to build the show and tell them at home, go
there and practice Salah slowly with all the things that are there trying to build a devotion
		

			inside. So again, it's a practical side of that we have competition of a dance between students who
sit in the bed the festival and we'll do we'll take them to the we'll do area we'll actually see
them do.
		

			Do a breakdown for example, you'll have you'll see your college students share food we'll have the
adult of eating and see if this is a practical you see, someone I've seen this many times kid just
takes a left hand was a string packet of crisps and eats. I'll go to the good karma. You know, some
Can you can you just put your right hand in Japan because even though you're left handed, right
		

			handed, or left handed or whatever, yeah, straight up, if any
		

			I'm telling you all the
		

			straight up I've found the best answer for that.
		

			I'm a right hander. 90 95% of people sitting out right handers Correct? Yes or no? Yes. When we go
to the toilet we become left handers.
		

			When we go to the toilet, we've come left handers don't wake up reaching the right input.
		

			Okay, so because I'm left on the end about two to four times a day, I'm a left hander. You eat three
times a day you become a right hander for the job done no argument. So
		

			what 615 is
		

			Islamic studies like so.
		

			Somebody will take two minutes for us to get a drum on how to instruct strapping
