Teaching Religious Education Creatively offers a brand new approach
for the primary classroom and is crammed full of innovative ideas
for bringing the teaching of RE to life. It helps teachers
understand what constitutes a healthy curriculum that will
encourage children to appreciate and understand different belief
systems. Perhaps most importantly, it also challenges teachers to
understand RE as a transformatory subject that offers children the
tools to be discerning, to work out their own beliefs and answer
puzzling questions. Underpinned by the latest research and theory
and with contemporary, cutting-edge practice at the forefront,
expert authors emphasise creative thinking strategies and teaching
creatively. Key topics explored include: What is creative teaching
and learning? Why is it important to teach creatively and teach for
creativity? What is Religious Education? Why is it important for
children to learn 'about' and 'from' religion? How can you teach
non-biased RE creatively as a discrete subject and integrate it
with other curriculum areas? Teaching Religious Education
Creatively is for all teachers who want to learn more about
innovative teaching and learning in RE in order to improve
understanding and enjoyment and transform their own as well as
their pupil's lives.
This textbook gives you a broad overview of everything you will
need to know to prepare for your initial teacher training and
future career in the classroom. Covering practical issues including
planning and assessment, and thought-provoking topics such as
reflecting on your practice and developing critical thinking
skills, this textbook provides you with an insightful exploration
of the realities of teaching in primary schools. This fourth
edition has been comprehensively revised and includes five new
chapters on: * Teacher wellbeing * The Early Career Framework (ECF)
* Digital literacy and primary schools after the pandemic * Growth
mindset, dialogue and P4C * Learning outside the classroom This is
essential reading for all students on primary initial teacher
education courses including university-based (PGCE, BEd, BA with
QTS), and schools-based (School Direct, SCITT, Teach First) routes
into teaching. Hilary Cooper is Professor Emeritus of History and
Pedagogy at the University of Cumbria. Sally Elton-Chalcraft is
Professor of Social Justice in Education and also the Director of
the Learning Education and Development Research centre in the

Recently there has been a national move for Initial Teacher
Education (ITE) programmes to support students working at master's
level in some of their courses, yet there is little literature to
support the students or their tutors/supervisors in the specific
area of research. This step by step guide has been designed to meet
the needs of all teacher training students involved in any
classroom-based research at Level 6 or M-level. The book contains
three sections that mirror the progression from novice researcher
to practitioner researcher.The introductory overview includes a
discussion of different types of research and the role of the
teacher/researcher. Section one introduces the purpose of
school-based research and contains case studies and advice from
experienced teacher researchers who have 'been there, done that' to
make the most of both the professional course and their research.
It also offers guidance on study skills and how to carry out a
literature review. The important issue of research ethics is
investigated with guidance offered to both students and tutors.
Issues of reliability and validity are also taken up in this first
section.Section two broadens the focus further by offering the
opportunity to consider how teaching impacts on children's and
students' learning and a range of methods of data collection and
analysis are discussed. The researcher is encouraged to develop
their pedagogy further by considering how a more creative and
innovative approach to teaching can be critically evaluated through
research. The advantages of collaboration and triangulation will be
introduced. Section three offers support for sharing research with
a wider audience in a range of ways. It also discusses how further
developing skills in educational research is an opportunity for
continued professional development. The conclusion suggests the
notion of the teacher researcher as being part of the professional
identity of a teacher.
