Overview:
Timeline is proud to offer this new course, presented by Pamela Draycott, Director of Professional Services with RE Today.
The course focuses on improving RE by considering how an ‘inclusive approach' leads to engaging all students in their learning. It represents a wide range of learners, and looks at how to adapt work to suit the needs of the ‘least able', as well as identifying and extending the Gifted and Talented in RE.
This busy course is very practical in approach, and all those who attend leave with lots of material, which they can put to immediate use on their return to school. Examples of work will focus on KS3 and will be drawn from Christianity, Islam and Sikhism, although the approaches taken will be applicable across a wide range of subject content.
Main features of the course:
- Providing a successful environment for learning for all students
- Taking a fresh look at differentiation
- Improving the delivery of RE
- Ensuring that the needs of the Gifted and Talented are met
- Designing appropriate tasks to support and challenge the ‘least able'
- Taking the RE department forward
Course aimed at:
The course is aimed at those involved in RE teaching looking for new ideas and strategies to engage and motivate all of their students, ensuring that lessons and materials are successfully differentiated. It is particularly suitable for RE Teachers and HODs aiming to make their lessons and departments more inclusive.
