Using scholarship & texts in RE #TTRConnect @joekinnaird.bsky.social an inspirational member of @natre-update.bsky.social exec. Shared so many ideas. With all the sessions today brilliant to see how people generously share & build on #TeamRE ideas. Strong themes coming through today

Final RE specific session included a discussion about scholarship from @joekinnaird.bsky.social, an exploration of the work being undertaken by Charlotte Newman at her Trust and identifying and teaching powerful knowledge from @goochkt.bsky.social

I regularly come back to this with @joekinnaird.bsky.social & @stevewillshaw.bsky.social about how to raise the game for KS3 RE. Joe shows it's possible to include scholarly material, eg from Karen Armstrong & make it accessible for all! (£/free trial) films.myattandco.com/programs/ssn...

The NATRE exec have written a series of blog resources sharing how they lead and deliver RE in their schools. Here’s a great example from @joekinnaird.bsky.social about effective questioning and removing barriers to participation in the classroom

Two of my favourite artists releasing albums on the same day. Life is good.

Consequence@consequence.bsky.social · 2y ago

Fun fact: Kendrick Lamar and Father John Misty have dropped albums on the same schedule for over a decade: 2012, 2015, 2017, 2022, and now today.

I submitted my evidence this evening. I mostly focused on the anachronistic, fragmented system for local RE curricula and the need for a National Curriculum for RE. I know this is not a priority for the DfE but, unless we take the opportunity to speak up, the current system will stagger on forever.

Jon Hutchinson@jonhutchinson.bsky.social · 2y ago

Just a little nudge that the best way to have your views heard is to submit to the call for evidence. I massively appreciate that you’re insanely busy and it’s a long survey (you don’t have to respond to every question!). But this is a big opportunity for positive change… tinyurl.com/45j92u9p

This is a superb contribution from Kathryn and essential reading for those in the subject community. Things need to change in RE. In my view, a national curriculum for RE is the change needed.

Kathryn Wright@kathrynfenlodge.bsky.social · 2y ago

As the deadline for submissions to the curriculum and assessment review approaches, I’ve written a contribution to the conversation… #teamRE www.cstg.org.uk/2024/11/15/b...

I am shamelessly resharing my blog on why I think it is time for a National Curriculum for RE. #TeamRe rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2024/11/04/i...

Is it time for a National Curriculum for RE? ( Spoiler alert, Yes!)

Many of us are currently providing feedback for the current Curriculum and Assessment Review. This review has the stated aim of refreshing the curriculum so that it is “cutting edge, fit for purpos…

This is an excellent thread on the arguments for and against RE having a national curriculum.

Dawn Cox@missdcox.bsky.social · 2y ago

It's time (it's actually late)...a 🧵for #TeamRE on arguments against becoming a National Curriculum (NC) subject and my counter arguments.... Feel free to correct any inaccuracies..... (LAS=Locally agreed syllabus)

An example of the substantive part of a possible RE national curriculum for ks3. You can still teach 6+ religions through these ideas. The start of a conversation.. #TeamRE

Even though it is week 578 of this half term, I am still just about managing to blog each week. This one is on assessment and RE with practical examples from my classroom. The example is from non examined KS4 RE. #TeamRE rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2024/10/21/a...

An example of an assessment for non examined RE.

In recent years, RE has focused heavily on curriculum development, worldviews, and disciplinary teaching. For many of us, the time has come to focus on assessment. I’d like to share an assessment t…

This has been some of the best RE CPD I’ve had. Huge credit to @karensteele.bsky.social to organising 🙌 #TeamRE

Karen Steele@karensteele.bsky.social · 2y ago

I have emailed the link to all 250 people who have expressed an interest! Please check you have received it and let me know if not. It’s been quite a big admin task!

If you had a CPD session with ECTs focused on lesson planning, what would you do?

Has anyone used rubrics for grading an assignment on Google Classroom? I’m trying to see if you could mark an AQA 12 mark answer using a rubric. #TeamRE

A second plea for help, this time for Edexcel Christianity A-level. Does anyone have anything which covers this part of the specification? Asking for a friend who isn’t on Twitter or Bluesky. #TeamRE
