Ways of Knowing Focus Week
18th – 24th May
In partnership with NATRE
This May, RE:ONLINE and NATRE are partnering to bring you a dedicated Focus Week exploring Ways of Knowing: Diving into Different Disciplines. Across seven days, we’ll open up what it means to think theologically, philosophically, and through the human and social sciences, helping teachers and pupils see not just what we learn in RE/RME/RVE, but how we know it
Throughout the week, you’ll find:
- Short films from teachers demonstrating how they use disciplinary tools such as interpreting texts, using data, building arguments, or applying philosophical questioning.
- Teacher stories and blogs, offering practical classroom examples of disciplinary lenses in action.
- A dedicated Resource Spotlight highlighting Inclusive Judaism and its rich connection to human and social sciences as a way of knowing.
- On Tuesday 19th May 4.30-5.30 an ‘In Conversation’ event, bringing together teachers and those involved in writing materials voices from to model and discuss how varied approaches shape understanding. Book Here.
- Additional films, a research spotlight, research links, book reviews and curated materials to support your planning and deepen subject knowledge.
Through the week we will look at disciplinary foci, building towards a richer, more coherent understanding of how RE knowledge is constructed and why disciplinary clarity matters. Whether you’re a teacher, adviser, trainee, or simply passionate about great RE/RME/RVE, this week is designed to spark ideas you can use immediately in the classroom.
Join us from 18–24 May and dive into new ways of knowing.
