Planning RE in KS3 Curriculum How to use this PowerPoint

1. Planning RE in KS3 Curriculum How to use this PowerPoint • This is based on some of the planning ideas that came out of the conference in Salisbury 30th May 2008 • For more detailed planning don’t forget the planning tool on www.newsecondarycurriculm.org and the support material on www.natre.org • At this stage we are confident that RE in Wiltshire/Swindon and Dorset is already shot through with compelling learning experiences • We already use Key Questions and have a considerable skills and attitudes focus to our work

2. Introduction continued • Despite the legitimate concerns we all hold the new KS3 curriculum should be seen as an opportunity to show other colleagues just how good learning in RE can be. • This PowerPoint is to encourage and resource you to engage with your schools approach to the new KS3 curriculum bringing to it the best of our current good practice. • You will need to view this in edit mode so that you can read the notes that go with all the planning slides!
