Thank you for getting in touch. Yes it is just the Oxford entrance we were looking for, and we are hopefully sorted now. But thank you.

Looking for some help please? Is anyone still in touch with any of their former students who went on study philosophy at Oxford? I am looking to make contact with someone who could help advise/mentor (in a small scale way) a promising year 12 state school student in the North East. #TeamRE

Excellent - thank you!

Yes I picked up that too - such a powerful concept …and as with all the points made, beautifully evidenced!

Definitely will!

Is there a way to get a QR code for this episode?

….actually you’ve got me thinking…I wonder if I can hand out little business cards with a link to this podcast to other students?? (The ones who still have the misconceptions) …might also do this on gcse results day when they sign up for 6th form!!!

I will definitely be recommending it to our yr 11 on transition day!

I could feel your joy and passion - it was infectious!

Listened to this today …every word was music to my ears. Beautifully and eloquently articulated by all those involved. Could not recommend more highly!! Please have a listen if you haven’t already!

Haven't deliberately missed anyone. If you post (mostly) about RE then I'll add you.

I’ve always had an interdisciplinary approach to philosophy. I feel that at the highest levels of most academic fields, disciplinary walls begin to fade. I know philosophers who are in neuroscience, law, psychology, and business departments. We have to stop policing boundaries.

Three Pillars of Vocabulary Teaching It is a truth universally acknowledged, that vocabulary knowledge is crucial for pupils’ school success. Pupils are language sponges, learning thousands of words each year. Like increases in a child’s...

There are few areas of education so rich with evidence & practice than the effectiveness of vocabulary instruction.

There are three key pillars:

1. Explicit vocabulary teaching
2. Incidental vocabulary learning
3. Developing word consciousness

YouTube video by Jonathan Hutchinson Building Belonging in Schools

Wow!

They say that our attention spans are fried, but almost a thousand people have watched our 15 minute video on building belonging in schools.

Blown away. Please do share in your networks and spread the word.

We’ve got plenty more to come.

It was brilliant wasn’t it…have been putting some of Libby’s and @chrisnatre.bsky.social ideas into practice today!

I did recommend philosopher queens. I’ll have a look at Daniel Dennett but also the heresy/gospels suggestion - that sounds like a great place to start! Thank you

Yeah …I’m the same as it tends to be pitched nicely for a level. But these particular students requested non-fiction…I think they are very earnest in their ambition to know ‘all the philosophy’!! 😂

Looking for recommendations! I have some very keen year 12’s who are looking for wider reading (non-fiction) to supplement their A level RS studies.
Does anyone have any suggestions of books that have worked well?
#TeamRE

Ooh …sounds interesting! I had had similar thoughts recently!

Looking forward to it!
