Sally Brooman We’ve focussed on depth not breadth. So the amount of substantive content we’re trying to include has decreased, but it’s more in-depth. For example, we don’t do the whole of Buddha Dharma, we just go into to depth about their approach to suffering , #REChatUK

Sally Brooman Some work I have been doing lately on our curriculum is reducing the substantive to make space for the disciplinary and personal. And then with new units, consciously having less substantive to begin with. #REChatUk

Sally Brooman We now teach less modules in more depth. We moved from fitting modules in 6 half terms to spending more time on certain aspects, not worrying about it being 6 lessons long. #REChatUK

Sally Brooman Charlotte Newman Yes - it becomes more focused on key worldviews and core concept rather than just substantive knowledge. Students gain the substantive knowledge through the discipline and core concept #REChatUK NATRE

Sally Brooman Important q is what serves students best long term - generalised factual info that bears little relation to lived reality or knowing the right kinds of Qs to ask and appropriate tools/methods to use when they encounter something new...? That might help q of balance #rechatuk

Charlotte Newman Teaching about how different disciplines gather or produce knowledge. Explicitly teaching about methods and getting the students to have a go at using those methods. So not just learning interpretations of texts but doing the interpretation them selves. #ReChatUk

Question 6- How have you developed children’s understanding of their own worldview and positionality? How can we ensure staff are aware of the position of children within their class or classes? #REChatUK

Jenni Rawlinson Mrs Bella Saunders MCCT Nikki McGee The RE Today Services Whose Worldview tool is great for this. I have asked students to complete with parents so they can compare too and engage those at home in what we are studying which has really helped with getting them on board whoseworldviews.com #REChatUK

Sally Brooman Here's a great film I use on intellectual humility - we watch it after we've unpacked the story of the blind men and the elephant. youtube.com/watch?v=MW7Ita…

These are so useful! #REChatUk

Gillian Georgiou Charlotte Newman Mrs Bella Saunders MCCT Nikki McGee Olivia Seymour This work by Gillian Georgiou and Olivia Seymour is amazing. We have used it at Oak National Academy to shape lots of the questions we ask and I use it constantly to frame the lessons! #REchatUK

Gillian Georgiou Charlotte Newman Mrs Bella Saunders MCCT Olivia Seymour I used this to help me rewrite our trust wide assessments to have a more disciplinary approach. It was super helpful, thankyou Gillian Georgiou & Olivia Seymour . Our students are about to sit them so I can review whether my vision worked and start refining for next year. #REChatUK

Last Question- As everyone in my setting plans and teaches the R.E. curriculum (as in lots of primaries), how have you ensured staff are familiar with the approach and how are you monitoring? #REChatUK

Thanks everyone. It's been a pleasure to host #REChatUK with the fabulous Charlotte Newman

Loved #REchatUK tonight - it was timely inspiration! So lucky to have such a network to tap into every month and reignite that passion. Great hosting Charlotte Newman and Sally Brooman ! Thank you NATRE ! :)

You're 14. Friend locks internal front door accidentally. Luckily, there's another door + porch with a chair where you can wait for mum. Do you A) sit on chair and wait with the door open to stay cool or B) lock the other door and post the key so you cant get in at all???!!!!
