Opis

What makes learning about beliefs and practices relevant to young people, and how can teachers, of faith or not, teach it well? This rich resource offers a positive framework for teaching about beliefs and practices in schools. Using three key lenses - cultural understanding, identity formation, and issues of evidence, truth and proof - alongside tools to develop religious literacy, the text identifies ways to access, engage with and achieve understanding of beliefs and practices. The book also shows how researching what best practice is, now, can help us in our RE-framing, and a wealth of effective pedagogies, including enquiry learning and storytelling, put this into practice.
