Program Overview
Kaleidoscope is envisioned as an umbrella of online learning programs that will use the rich and dynamic lens of Social Sciences and Humanities to deepen audiences’ understanding of the world around them.
All programs are delivered online through a Learning Management System (LMS), combining both synchronous and asynchronous learning. Organizations may choose to adopt the programs as designed or request customization to suit their specific audience. We would be delighted to connect and explore the best fit for your needs.
Social Sciences for Educators
This program helps educational leaders understand the social, historical, economic, and digital dynamics shaping education. Participants will explore key themes from the Social Sciences with clear linkages to education, enabling them to design learning experiences better suited for young learners.
The program opens up space for alternative perspectives—decolonial and leftist views, indigenous voices, and critical takes on digital technologies—helping participants situate education within its broader socio-historical landscape.
Islamic Philosophy & Spirituality for Educators
This program is specially designed for educational leaders and educators. It explores key ideas from the Islamic intellectual tradition and their implications for contemporary schooling.
Drawing on the works of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Khaldun, the program also delves into the tradition of Tasawwuf and the important theme of Muslim identity. Participants will reflect on how insights from the Islamic philosophical tradition can shape educational purpose, leadership, and practice.
The sessions bridge classical thought with present-day educational challenges – encouraging leaders to re-examine notions of knowledge, ethics, and holistic student development through an Islamic lens.
Teacher as Intellectuals
This program addresses a missing element in K–12 education—the intellectual depth of classroom teaching and learning. Rather than offering decontextualized tips and techniques, it positions teachers as intellectuals, drawing on the work of Harvard scholars David Perkins, Ron Ritchhart, and Howard Gardner.
Educators gain both conceptual foundations and practical strategies to enrich classroom discourse and foster deeper learner engagement with knowledge. The program is especially valuable for high-performing teachers of Science, History, Geography, Environmental Studies, Religion, and Global Perspectives.

HHS School System Karachi
Fittingly titled, the term Kaleidoscope well captures the essence of this program since it represents varied perspectives, changing patterns of knowledge, and the elegance of collective reflection. Just like no two turns of a kaleidoscope are ever identical, each discussion brought a new insight into society and education. The facilitator, Mr. Abdul Haseeb with his profound knowledge and thoughtful guidance, helped me reflect on how education has evolved over time. Many questions were addressed, while new reflective questions raised, making the experience even more thought-provoking.
The Citizens Foundation
Even though I was familiar with some of the philosophical concepts, the trainer brought it together really beautifully and helped us as educators see the relevance of it in our work. The course was well-designed. Adult and blended learning pedagogies were creatively utilized. All the sessions were really insightful and provided a lot of food of thought. The trainer also shows a deep commitment towards his learners' interest and participation. He would ensure everyone is able to participate and benefit from the content. I would definitely recommend it.

The program is well researched and well prepared. The instructor, Mr. Abdul Haseeb has put in a lot of effort in crafting this program according to our context and challenges. His positivity and patience is contagious! Well done, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend other educators to attend it.
