DBE: Effective Teaching & Learning of RE - Part 1

This course is aimed at RE Subject Leads as well as those who teach RE. The expectations of teaching and learning in RE, as well as the Understanding Christianity framework have greatly increased, with a strong focus on religious literacy and a higher emphasis on theological understanding.

Over the two parts of this course, we will look at what it means to be a ‘religiously literate teacher’ and how we can support children to become religiously literate. We will also look at what it means to be theologically rigorous in our teaching and how we can promote thinking skills.

Part 1 will cover:

• the religiously literate teacher

• the religiously literate pupil

• religious literacy in the classroom, including activities that can promote this across a range of religions.

This course runs in conjunction with Effective Teaching & Learning of RE - Part 2 to be held on Thursday 24th November 2022

Location: Lowesmoor Diocesan Office.
