Really important meeting for all involved it RE recruitment and training

[Miss Eva @SteeleHeidi]

EMERGENCY SUMMIT for all involved in recruiting and training RE Teachers.
RE recruitment is down, courses are at risk & we’re not producing the specialist teachers that our schools urgently need.
Please join me for an online meeting. Fill in the form to share your availability.

A woman on my flight yesterday switched seats with her husband because their toddler wouldn’t stop crying.

The second she sat down alone, she closed her eyes for maybe 30 seconds.

Just resting.

Not sleeping.

When the husband walked past with the kid later, he laughed and said loudly,
“Must be nice to finally get a break from doing nothing.”

A few people chuckled.

She laughed too.

But something about it felt off because for the entire flight she had been:
holding the baby,
packing snacks,
cleaning spills,
walking him down the aisle,
missing her own meal trying to calm him down…

while the husband watched a movie with headphones on.

And honestly I think that’s why so many women are exhausted.

Not because they’re doing everything alone.

But because they’re doing everything while someone else calls it “nothing.”

Never a fan of beck #totp

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

Despite his slightly dodgy sounding name, another RE bod has introduced me to this guy and he's even done a video about my latest bit of learning- the Norman use of Sheela-na-gigs in churches

@RE_McGEE @TeamRE_UK One of mine too. There's some great stuff on there!

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

If you're looking for some real life RE, this lady is a British Muslim revert who talks very honestly about her journey to Islam. @TeamRE_UK #reallifeworldviews

#REchatUK Thank you for joining our chat. See you soon for June's #REchatUK on provision for disadvantaged pupils in R.E. We look forward to seeing you!

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

#REchatUK QUESTION 11: What case studies do you use that you think are worth sharing?

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

@SarahHarden12 Totally agree with this #REchatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

#REchatUK QUESTION 7: In which year groups do you start using case studies? Can they be effective with our youngest learners?

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

@CNewmanTeach RE today has some great resources for this #REchatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

I think our younger children really hook into the learning- they can tell you all about Hany El-Bana or Margalit from the belonging and believing books #REchatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

#REchatUK QUESTION 9: What impact on learning have you seen or would you expect to see from using case studies?

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

@buckbyfamily Yes these are brilliant. We still use them. #REchatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

@ChrisNatre Yay! 100% agree with this. Our KS1 were fascinated when some of the regular visitors we had to worship took them on a virtual tour of their place of worship #REchatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

@lizzim9 I think definitely real for KS2 #REchatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

#REchatUK QUESTION 5: Do you use composite/fictionalised case studies, real case studies or a mixture of both?

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

@RE_McGEE @JoanneH_RE I think you could be right Nikki. For me, in Primary, I wrestled with not having the "right" case study when working on something for the REC project until we discussed fictionalised case studies with @GillCGeorgiou #REChatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

@CNewmanTeach I think it might be Paul Hedges #REchatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

@Greg_Parekh I think for our very youngest learners a persona doll representing one Christian helps them begin to form the idea that there are more opinions around them. This Christian (Tessa in our EYFS) thinks... but Bob, our Methodist minister thinks... for example #REchatUK

[Sally Brooman @MrsBdoesRE]

We very much use fictionalised case studies through our persona dolls in EYFS, some fictionalised and some real in KS1- must give @BooksAtPress a shout out here for the excellent belonging and believing resources and moving more to the real case studies across KS2 #REchatUK
