Course summary
Age phase: 11-16 with post-16 enhancement
This is the ideal time to become a confident, effective and reflective RE teacher. Understanding religion and worldviews is vitally important as they: i) are key to the story of how humans have experimented with ways of living, and continue to do so; ii) aid us to understand culture and politics through exploring underlining beliefs and values; iii) help individuals to form their own coherent and satisfying perception of reality, and RE is helpful in this pursuit.
By taking this PGCE you will:
- Equip young people with the skills and knowledge needed to help them explore life鈥檚 deepest questions, as they develop their independence and work out how to live a good life
- Be taught by an enthusiastic, experienced and inspiring tutor who will individually support each trainee.
- Work in an excellent RE department supported by teachers passionate about RE and teaching.
- Experience the collaborative spirit of the course: share your emerging ideas and work together to develop strategies and resources.
- Work in partnership with schools covering a wide geographical area and place you in the most appropriate school for your training requirements.
