MAINS DIRECTOR, CHAPEL OF THE AIR It's about time. Creative Teaching Methods is not just another book on the theory of creativity (which we don't need). Rather, it is a book on the practice of creativity in the classroom (which we desperately need). This is a book you will use over and over again. Creative Teaching Methods is loaded with practical and usable ideas that will make creative teaching a reality in your classroom. Without hesitation, I would recommend this book to anyone who teaches young people or adults. MIKE YACONELLI PRESIDENT, YOUTH SPECIALTIES Marlene LeFever makes the principle of learning through creative participation come alive for Christian education. Creative methods are vividly and invitingly explored for their potential for deepening the spiritual life through new ways of hearing the Word of God and using heretofore untapped personal resources in responding to it. Unique in its assumption that in Christian education creativity is just as essential in work with youth and adults as it is in work with children. D.

Download or read book The Creative Teaching of Religious Education written by Heather Meacock and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the vision that religious education (RE) can be taught creatively, with relevance to the lives of teachers and their pupils today, in predominantly secular society. RE should be taught from the perspective of knowledge and understanding of religions, to foster tolerance and to dispel prejudice and misunderstanding, without any attempt to influence children's personal beliefs. The philosophy which underpins this book is the belief that RE is best taught within an integrated approach to the humanities. The humanities are about what it is to be human, in time and place and in terms of belief. Therefore, RE is linked with history, geography, and the creative arts within five themes: human survival, light and dark, leadership, the environment, and time and motion. As well, there is accurate and detailed subject knowledge about the six major world faiths and plays/scenes about them written and produced in schools by myself. The book is in alignment with the British National Curriculum, which requires that RE is taught in schools, and with the latest Ofsted Report (2010), which states that there is a need for guidance for teachers, and more creative and innovative approaches to link RE with the wider curriculum.

Andy Lewis uses his experience as Director of Religious Education to share ideas and advice on how to construct a successful RE lesson, engage students in the subject, provide effective feedback and exam techniques, and bring RE to life in the secondary curriculum. RE can be a very difficult subject to teach as many of the topics that come up can be challenging to discuss with young people, especially with the complexities in legal status, curriculum content and public perceptions. God, ethics, death – just a few topics that could cause controversy in your classroom! Covering a range of different faiths, beliefs and worldviews, this book is suitable for all RE teachers regardless of the syllabus they are teaching. 100 Ideas for Secondary Teachers: Outstanding RE Lessons is the essential resource for helping students to develop an understanding between communities and eradicate religious prejudices and stereotypes, with cross-curricular strategies that reach out to members of local faith communities and use technology to 'visit' sacred sites.
