"RME needs more than a name change—it needs a radical overhaul. I argue for a fundamental rethink of the curriculum and purpose of the subject. What do you think a new RME should look like? #FutureOfEducation #RME #CurriculumReform

I have written about playing based learning and active learning on my blog.

Anyone else find they are having to cut bits out of teaching religion just to make it fit in your timeline?
Does this completely miss the point of RME?

Love to hear your thoughts

With my greatest hit being... "No, I'm not religious, but yes I am an RME teacher"

Just guess!
Anything is better than IDK

Our S5/6 core class chose they wanted to learn a little more about Israel/Palestine. In order to break it down to make it understandable we thought about what would happen if it was in our own town. Thinking about how both sides would be feeling. Some great and mature discussions from the pupils.
