@MissAli_RE talking about the power of narratives in RE #TMRSIcons @TMRSicons
As RE teachers, we should recognise the importance of narratives to help us make sense of the world and provide a framework for teaching knowledge & concepts. Great to see a reference to @MaryMyatt
I love the idea of using a quote or piece of scripture to drive the narrative of a SOW.

Looking forward to @CNewmanTeach talking about Worldviews in Practice. #TMRSIcons @TMRSicons
Important to highlight the growing literature on RE and Worldviews.
I love these SOW overviews. I think these can be especially useful for RE departments with non-specialists.

Listening to keynote from @jamesdholt on expanding the boundaries of religions and worldviews in the classroom. #TMRSIcons @TMRSicons
Using phrases such as ‘Most Christians believe’ or ‘Some Christians think’ can be language choices which illustrate diversity within religion and worldviews.
Love this quote from Bell Hooks. Teaching diversity within our curriculum makes both teachers and students shift their ways of thinking.
