Being a Muslim, Hijab wearing Teacher

Answering some FAQ's about teaching as a career choice. Sorry about the grainy quality of this one - I thought I could forego switching on the light but it turns out my camera is not so good at picking up images a while before the sun sets!

Sister, u are lucky u don't have any problems with the hijab. My world changed totally whenI put my hijab on 5 years ago. Suddenly people dont know me. I am like the same person.. arent I? The few people that didnt care about my hijab, they say that since I started using it I seem to have more selfasteem and I seem more free. And that is the way I feel. But people dont believe me. Is it just me who has experienced this?

[Amenakin]

@bismillaislam wow, really, people stopped wanting to spend time with you? S'A, it does show what people really think of you. I definitely feel more free, like I am able to control 'bad' gazes in a way, and even the thought of stepping out without it makes me feel embarrassed lol. It is definitely liberating.

this was a very helpful vid sister! thanks a bunch! im off to do my practical in June, quite scared frankly but you gave a few good tips here and i pray to Allah it'll be fine =)

[Amenakin]

@leoanawitch you're welcome sweetie! Practical as in the QTS tests? If so, I wish you all the best, i'A... let me know how you got on!

My mum teaches in an Islamic school and I think its a very rewarding career.

[Amenakin]

@nabz3000 yes I agree sister, it is SO tiring but amazingly rewarding. Wow, a headteacher having issues about hijab - that must have been difficult. I'm glad you mentioned the Union! Alhamdullilah. Stay strong in your hijab, i'A

Im 26 and making a career switch from Human Resources into Teaching for secondary schools - cant wait! :)

Salaam. Mashallah, it was very interesting to hear about your experiences in the teaching world. I am also a lecturer at college and I also wear hijaab. Alhamdulilah my hijaab has brought me barakaah more than anything else and not hindered me in any way. Keep up the good work!

[PeacefulHijabi]

what degree do you need to teach for teach first :)

[boxermaf]

it's good to wear hijab and i'm glad people do it at work and there's nothing wrong with nikab at work. if they can deal with it on the streets they should be able to deal with it in schools the blurdclaats

As a biology teacher, has there ever been a conflict between the material you teach and your religious beliefs ? i.e. Evolution ?

[TheYipedo]

While I am against wearing the hijab or religion in general, I see no excuse for anyone to discriminate teachers, students or citizens alike for wearing a hijab. If they start infusing the course with religion, then I do have a problem with that; but if they just keep on doing their job, then I treat them with dignity. =)

Subhan'Allah! :)... You Are An Inspiration Sis.. Alhamdulilah May Allah (SWT) Bless You And Your Family Ameen Sumameen. Thankyou ever so much.. Alhamdulilah.. I myself am in and out of schools gaining experience.. I done a degree in fashion design.. Afterwhich oddly enough... gained a passion for teaching Alhamdulilah.. seemed the perfect job since I started wearing my hijjab.. and seemed like the right type of atmosphere for my type of person.. this video Inspired me to go for it... thanks! xxx

wow alhumdullilah Im so happy I stumbled upon this video! I am a teacher here in the States and I'm about to start my first year teaching secondary school (called middle school or junior high school here) with my hijab on, also in an inner-city school. I am super nervous about the students/parents reactions, but I think you are right that as long as you respect the students, they will respect u back. JZK for the video, I feel reassured now :)
