The purpose of this report is to investigate the various forms of support that are available to counteract islamophobia in elementary school and in high school. Through these methods the students developed an anti-racist thought which lead them to have a wider perspective about the outside world. The biggest cause for stereotypes is about the religion islams roots in media which shows propaganda and is a negative view about islam. In this essay I will write about the similarities and differences between researchers' studies on how to reduce islamophobia in schools, but most importantly in classrooms with education. In my work I will find answers to this question: “What does research say about how teachers teach about Islam and Muslims in a way to counteract islamophobia?”. To answer my question I have conducted information by searching for keywords that are combined in different ways in various databases. I used 5 different databases to see if the selected information is correct, the databases are Libsearch, Swepub, ERC via EBSCO, ERIC via EBSCO and Google Scholar. Another method that I found helpful was to look at other students’ reference lists to find other references, the subject was the same as mine, a total of 8 sources of research texts were selected. The result shows that pupils’ develop most when teachers include religion into other subjects, and according to some researchers it is possible to counteract islamophobia with education. As teachers we need to find something that the students can relate to, something that they have experienced or seen whether it’s online or in real life. When teachers find that silver lining the students start to pay attention to class.
