Teacher Chalk Talks
Once downloaded they are your school's to keep and use as you wish: for whole school staff training all year round, or shared with individual staff and new teachers as they join the school.
Subject Knowledge Chalk Talks
Religious Education and Worldviews
Ofsted inspectors have been critical when “teachers do not have the knowledge or the training to teach this subject [Religious Education] well…and with confidence,” and when “pupils lack knowledge about the different religions within and beyond their community” (Ofsted School Reports, 2019)
I have created a set of pre-recorded webinars that will build your teachers' subject knowledge of Religious Education and Worldviews, improving confidence to teach Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism, as well as the diversity in Judaism and Christianity.
Topics:
Jewish:
Jesus:
Muslim:
Hindu:
Buddhist:
Sikh:
Understanding the history and diversity
Including responses beyond Christianity
Origins and developments

Curriculum Materials
All Key Knowledge is planned as part of a progressive learning journey based on enquiry-led learning, building pupils' understanding of the big concepts.
Primary Geography and History
Although these are two discreet subjects, with each developing their own specific skills, the learning in one can strengthen the depth of understanding in the other. For example, appreciating the rainforest biome and environment in a Geography unit will provide a context for understanding how the Maya may have lived in a History unit.
Therefore, all learning has been carefully sequenced to ensure a continuous recapping and building of knowledge, as pupils progress from one lesson to the next and from one unit to the next, better enabling them to learn and remember more.

Subject Assessment Tools
Subject specific skills are detailed in a step by step progression. These clear grids can be adapted for planning, marking and feeding back on pupil activities, as well as monitoring pupil progression across the school
Kodesh Assessment Package
Following extensive work in a range of Jewish Faith Schools across London, a Package of Assessment Tools has been designed to support each Kodesh subject.
Key subject skills have been sequenced to give an outline of progression from KS1 to KS3 and worded as learning outcomes so they can be adapted to specific units of learning, lessons and even particular tasks which align with Pikuach expectations.
​
Key Stage 1 up to Key Stage 3
Matches Pikuach expectations
Package includes maximum of 7 Kodesh subjects​
​
Please Note: Consultancy support is available for those wishing discuss additional subjects to be included, or for further support with their Kodesh curriculum
REAL Video Resources
A range of believers sharing their lived experiences, bringing RE to life.
These video clips have been developed with representatives from a wide range of religions and worldviews, each sharing their own personal experiences and responses to specific questions from the RE curriculum.
They are short and easy to access so teachers can use in RE lessons to help spark interfaith dialogue in the classroom.
These have been embedded in the RE and Worldviews Curriculum materials.
“There is a focus on discussion and real-life experiences, and time dedicated for children to reflect on how …. similar or different…to experiences they have had or witnessed in their own lives.”
