Description
Finding it hard to know what to prioritise as subject lead or how to work out which research is relevant and how it applies to your subject? The How to Lead It series are the go-to guides for primary subject leads in schools and trusts. In them you will find:
- clear summaries of relevant research and thinking around best practice
- age-specific and inclusive classroom examples
- case studies
- reflective questions
- suggestions for short PD sessions with colleagues
Everything in the book is applied thoughtfully to the specific subject area of RE. These books enable busy subject leaders to confidently make good decisions for effective teaching and impactful curricula.
All the key elements of the primary RE curriculum are explored including curriculum design, assessment, storytelling, vocabulary, oracy and religious enquiry as well as support on how to approach research and a step-by-step guide to creating your own implementation plan for your school's context and needs.

The perennial challenge for primary leaders is supporting colleagues to teach everything well-often without specialist training or time. This series meets that challenge head on. It's full of evidence-based strategies that will help leaders to build powerful, knowledge-rich curriculums and teaching practices in a range of subjects.

Thorough and effectively organised, this brilliant book excels at promoting RE and the idea of self-knowledge. Its standout chapter masterfully challenges our rapidly changing society, urging deeper mutual understanding while actively dismantling everyday pre-assumptions through our teaching and learning.
