I could offer you many pages, but most of it would simply be copy and paste or borrowed from the writings of Baha'i Scripture or from other Baha'is and/or their books. I'd rather you get it first hand if possible. I might miss something crucial. One of the basic principles of the Baha'i Faith is universal compulsory education. Another is equality of men and women, but there is an exception to the latter. In a Baha'i home with both a boy and a girl but only enough money to send one to college, the girl gets the preference. The primary reason is a girl is a potential mother, and the mother is the first educator of the children. Teach a mother, teach a generation.
But for some concrete ideas, I would suggest you study the Baha'i concept of "Consultation" and apply its principles in your classroom. Consultation may seem simple, but it is actually very profound, and I found the several days of several hours on each day spent studying it and training for it in a small group to be most fascinating. Unless you have been through one of those training sessions, you have no inkling what true consultation is all about.
Another is to see what books are currently available from the Baha'i Publishing Trust on education and at least read them if not fully scan them. And I would also suggest finding and developing at least professional relationships if not eventually close friendships with teachers who also happen to be Baha'is. I may not be able to do it in the time frame this question will be open, but even if it takes longer and I have to find other ways to get it to you, I will see what I can find as far as any organizations, groups or links. I do not have at hand the hard figures to back this up, but I believe there was an actual study done that determined there is a higher percentage of Baha'is in the teaching and medical professions than any other religion. That was at least partly attributed to our commitment to service to humanity. One final thing I would strongly suggest is you read the two Baha'i Magazines that have been published. One is out of print, but is on the Internet. I will give you the link below.
It may or may not be of interest, but Swiss myrmecologist, neuroanatomist and psychiatrist was a Baha'i. I put one link of probably many below for him also.
One close friend and personal hero that just came to mind is Professor Bransford (Brande - pronounced brandy) Watson. I'll see what I can do to get you together. Just make sure you call him Brande when/if you talk to him. Unfortunately we no longer live close together, and it may take bit for me to get to talk to him. He can be hard to catch and I have misplaced his cell number. But I have a feeling you two would quickly become fast friends. I do not think he knows I am on Yahoo Answers, and my real name is not Wildered, but I would bet he would know as soon as he read this who I am.
Enough for now. I wash my dishes once a year whether they need it or not, and today is the day. ;-}
