Powerful Knowledge in RE

What do learners need to know in RE? Is knowledge-rich RE dull and irrelevant to teenagers? With limited time and resources, how can we choose what to teach and what to leave out? In this session, we will think deeply about how knowledge in RE can empower those we teach and make them competent and independent learners.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Explore and examine what is meant by powerful knowledge in relation to RE.
• Reflect on your current practice, examining ways in which you can ensure that knowledge in your RE lessons empowers those you teach.
