Introduction

Many trainee primary teachers are uncertain as to the place and purpose of RE in primary schools. This book is designed to alleviate such fears and give trainees the security and confidence to teach RE effectively.

Recognising Personal Beliefs

Trainees are encouraged to recognise their own religious position and understand how they handle their own beliefs and commitments in the classroom.

Supporting Children's Religious Viewpoints

In addition, they will learn how to be sensitive to children’s religious viewpoints, allowing children to share their beliefs in a secure and supportive environment.

Strategies for Effective RE

A range of strategies help readers to provide engaging and appropriate RE across the primary age phase.
