Subject knowledge essays

Increasingly, teachers in Religious Education are coming from other subject backgrounds says Tim Hutchings on @relmedcentre.bsky.social. If you're a new teacher in search of inspiration or just in need of a refresher, check out subject knowledge on RE:ONLINE
www.reonline.org.uk/knowledge/

Another key point raised: studying RE is often misunderstood as limiting career options. In reality, it develops analytical skills, empathy and cultural literacy, all qualities highly valued across sectors from law to public service. #Religionmediacentre

A recurring theme in today's @relmedcentre.bsky.social briefing: RE is not a marginal subject. It cultivates empathy, intercultural understanding and critical reflection, essential capacities for navigating an increasingly complex society.
