Keynote - REvolution or evolution? The RE classroom and the changing educational landscape by Richard Kueh In this session, Richard will explore the place of RE in the ever-shifting landscape of education. He will reflect on what he has seen about the subject during his time as Senior HMI and national lead for RE, including what makes for stronger and weaker classroom practice. He'll then explore the possible directions for RE and how to enact high-quality RE in the classroom, whatever age group you teach. |
