InspiRE for Key Stage 3
Series Editor: Steve Clarke
Authors: Steve Clarke, Stuart Kerner, Diane Kolka, Kanwar Ranvir Singh, Lorraine Abbott
InspiRE is the first Key Stage 3 course that lets you teach RE both thematically and/or by religion, giving you the flexibility to deliver lessons however you want:
- Gives you the flexibility to combine exploration of themes with more in-depth coverage of the major religions
- Tackles differentiation within activities, with guidance and support for assessment
- Addresses Assessment for Learning (Afl) and personal learning and thinking skills (PLTS)
- Provides support for both non-specialists and time-strapped RE teachers
- Integrates ICT seamlessly into lessons through Dynamic Learning
InspiRE comprises two parallel sets of books:
- Themes to InspiRE, three books (one for each year of KS3) that cover the National Curriculum programme of study through an exploration of thematic issues and concepts
- Religions to InspiRE, seven ‘by religion’ books that exemplify the themes and expands them from the points of view of the major religions of Great Britain
Watch InspiRE in action here at John F Kennedy Catholic School, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire:
