RE05 The Uniqueness of Christ

The seminar is designed to provide stimulation for teachers, and so is deliberately thought provoking and stretching. Instruction on how to teach the material to students will be given and lesson plans will be provided, so that the topic can reach students the next day if necessary.

The 2008 dates and venues have yet to be finalised for this course. Please return to our Course Subjects page.

Objectives

By the end of the course teachers should have a renewed interest in their subject, having taken part in lively discussion and debate. They will have been equipped to return to teaching with fresh energy and enthusiasm, and some new material.

Who should attend

This course is aimed at all Religious Studies teachers across all examination boards.
