I have put together a series of ideas on how to level up your RMPS to engage pupils and show the value of the subject.

Step 2 is Signposting Skills and Careers

[Mrs Whyte - RME/ RMPS @learningrmps]

We know there are problems with RME. But how do we fix it? Here are some practical solutions that I offer in reflection of some of my podcast episodes .

First Step - Reflect

[Mrs Whyte - RME/ RMPS @learningrmps]

In my latest Podcast Episode, I talk about the 5 M's the Problems with RME. If you have been teaching long enough you will have seen these cycles happen.
In my podcast I delve into them a little more but also offer some solutions for combatting them.

Traditionally, we teach all the beliefs and then move on to all the practices. But last year, I decided to teach thematically instead.

Correction - I am one of the biggest RMPS nerds.

[Terri Barry @MrsB_Shetland]

@learningrmps I’d challange you to “biggest RME nerd” but I spend some of my time being a “citizenship nerd” too 😂

[Mrs Whyte - RME/ RMPS @learningrmps]

I've had an influx of new followers recently so thought I would reintroduce myself.

Hello, I'm Steph. I am the biggest RMPS nerd I know, I am addicted to Canva and I have no good photos of me that don't have my son in them.

When a delegate leaves our Festival of Learning feeling like this, we know we're on the right track.

What was your key takeaway from the Festival of Learning?

[STARME - Scottish Teachers Assoc. of RME @TeachersofRME]

One of the most powerful themes echoing across our recent Festival of Learning was a collective desire to change how we use stories in the classroom storytelling is our ultimate tool for making abstract concepts feel real, living, and immediate to young people.

I created a whiteboard template on Canva and let pupils have the change to add post it notes to it (remember to lock elements, I forgot the first time) and then it gave me a chance to have a meaningful conversation and the summary will allow us to have a visual reminder of this.

[Mrs Whyte - RME/ RMPS @learningrmps]

My wonderful colleague and friend Mrs Gauffre, introduced me to Class Charters. And initially I was skeptical. But surely they know the school rules? Are they not all going to be the same? Why am I wasting a lesson on this?

[Mrs Whyte - RME/ RMPS @learningrmps]

I walked past my other colleague having a great conversation with her class about this and writing their class charter and it inspired me.
