Breathing Life into the RE Classroom:
Contemporary and Practical Teaching Strategies to help 'unlock' the Wonder and Beauty of the Scriptures

Induction, RE and Accreditation 
Target Audience:  Religious Education Teachers

Overview
The importance of thoughtfully and creatively engaging students in a ‘study’ of the Sacred Scriptures has always been the ‘Cornerstone’ of any Religious Education curriculum.
 
Building upon over 25 years of research and writing, this program is explicitly designed to provide teachers, both ‘young and old’, with the professional skills to implement a wide range of practical teaching strategies in the R.E. classroom.
 
The day will be, very much, a ‘hands-on’ experience, whereby teachers, with a little contemporary educational theory and a lot of stimulating pedagogical practice, will be exposed to activities that will empower students to explore meaning and probe the wonders and beauty of the Scriptures, especially in the context of their daily lives.


Aims
With this program participants will:
  • Appreciate the critical importance of a holistic study of the Scriptures within the context of the R.E. Curriculum;
  • Experience a diverse range of practical teaching strategies that will enhance their capacity to ‘unlock’ the challenges and beauty of the Scriptures; and
  • Link and understand, how contemporary learning theory, will support not only the ‘academic’ dimensions of a quality R.E. curriculum, but also will expose students to the ‘wonder and mysteries’ of their relationship with God.
Duration
This program consists of 1 day of learning activities, discussion and reflection.
