The Religious Educator

Those responsible for Religious Education in our schools should:

 

▪ be prepared to give living witness to what they teach;

▪ recognise that they share in the teaching office of the Church exercised in the person of the local bishop;

▪ fulfil their professional responsibilities with regard to all that develops and enhances the life of the Catholic school;

▪ plan and teach schemes of work that are engaging and accessible so that all pupils may progress appropriately in their knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith;

▪ have high expectation of all their pupils;

 

ensure that 10% of the curriculum to age 16 and 5% of the curriculum   beyond the age of 16 is devoted to Religious Education;

▪ ensure Religious Education contributes positively to the broad and
balanced curriculum of a Catholic school;

▪ take care continually to deepen their own knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith;

▪ take seriously the duty of every Catholic to form his or her conscience;
be given opportunities for their own spiritual and professional
development as Catholic educators.

The focus for learning

 

Auctore Deo – Our enterprise is the work of God.

The curriculum develops:

Attitudes – e.g. determined, adaptable, confident, risk-taking, enterprising and challenging but should also develop the key Christian attributes (fruits of the Spirit)

Skills – e.g. literacy , numeracy, ICT, personal, learning and thinking skills and listening but also a deeper awareness and understanding of God’s love (Faith in action)

Knowledge and understanding – ideas that shape the world but that reveal the true mission of the Church.

 

 

 

 

How do we organise learning?

 

The curriculum is an entire planned learning experience underpinned by a broad set of common values and purposes.

  • Support each student in the learning environment so that they learn to see God in all, through all, and from all they do.
  • Learning is delivered with dignity and respect to all students. Students are encouraged to meet God in all people.
