Looking for some help please? Is anyone still in touch with any of their former students who went on study philosophy at Oxford? I am looking to make contact with someone who could help advise/mentor (in a small scale way) a promising year 12 state school student in the North East. #TeamRE

Listened to this today …every word was music to my ears. Beautifully and eloquently articulated by all those involved. Could not recommend more highly!! Please have a listen if you haven’t already!

#teamre it was a dream of mine to be involved with making Oak videos when I saw the first round come out- and I'm so excited to be part of it this year! Here's a peak at the curriculum plans we're creating for... enjoy and please repost! www.thenational.academy/teachers/cur...

Happy Diwali!

I’ve always had an interdisciplinary approach to philosophy. I feel that at the highest levels of most academic fields, disciplinary walls begin to fade. I know philosophers who are in neuroscience, law, psychology, and business departments. We have to stop policing boundaries.

There are few areas of education so rich with evidence & practice than the effectiveness of vocabulary instruction. There are three key pillars: 1. Explicit vocabulary teaching 2. Incidental vocabulary learning 3. Developing word consciousness alexquigley.co.uk/three-pillar...

Wow! They say that our attention spans are fried, but almost a thousand people have watched our 15 minute video on building belonging in schools. Blown away. Please do share in your networks and spread the word. We’ve got plenty more to come. youtu.be/t1suFA6BXvg?...

Looking for recommendations! I have some very keen year 12’s who are looking for wider reading (non-fiction) to supplement their A level RS studies. Does anyone have any suggestions of books that have worked well? #TeamRE

youtube.com/playlist?lis... Philosopheres Rock, my A level RS group will never be the same singing songs on Aristotle's 4 causes Plato's cave and Socrates. 16 tracks so far 'cheesy karaoke rock style'; the students love it and hopefully it will embed their learning. #teamRE

Can anyone point me in the direction of any educational research on the benefits of creating a culture of success in the classroom. Thinking about if children experience success early in the school year (for example) they are more motivated/attain more. #edusky #teamRE #cogsci

#TeamRE I’ve been thinking long and hard about my LPA GCSE pupils. I feel this is an area I want to really focus on this year. Thinking about that 3/4 borderline - what’s your best strategy or top tip?

I'm really looking forward to my ResearchEd talk on philosophy and education. I'm hoping there'll be lots of discussion. I'll try to show how philosophy is all about the frameworks and assumptions which underlie our debates and theories, and some methods for interrogating them. Please RT!

Lots of interesting links, posts and opportunities here:

Here is a short guide to @bsky.app - written specially for #TeamRE I hope it is useful: tinyurl.com/TeamREonBSS #UKEd #EduSky (Will prob do a v2 at some point, so feedback welcome!)

An honour to talk to the most important people in the world (religion & worldview teachers) about the #Sentientism worldview's "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." Sentientism ep:210 is my appearance on Louisa Smith's 🤩 The RE Podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #TeamRE

Just opened my emails to find another 40 new A-Level RS NATRE group members. Just brilliant! #natreupdates #TeamRE 👇👍

#edusky I have previously shared our new form time activities developing pupils understanding of learning. After recent conversations on here, I have decided to add an introduction lesson on "why working hard is difficult." And link to misconceptions about motivation.

Well that’s a first for me #TeamRE! Just been to have my lash lift and tint (get me!) and the dreaded ‘so what do you teach?’ Came up. However the response this time was…’oh I loved A Level RS’ and she proceeded to tell me of her love of the ancient Greek philosophers and the Cosmological Arg!!! 🤩

Totally random question. I see people posting a red drawing pin. 1. Is this the equivalent of the old F or FF just so they can refind the post or does it do something else? 2. Is there a button for the red drawing pin - where is it? It’s always the same icon and I can’t find it anywhere!

Which element from the Model for Great Teaching are you currently focusing on for improvement, as a school/team/department? We would love to hear your thoughts 💭

A new channel being created by a practising Muslim (AH teacher) and sharing his lived experience of Islam - Hajj. Just been announced on Facebook #TeamRE. Haven’t had a chance to check it out yet - but thought it might be helpful to share in this new community. youtube.com/@accessislam...

This looks like a fantastic project. faithbeliefforum.org/programme/id...

Much here for #TeamRE to address concerns about return to school after a difficult Summer for many.

Sharing my latest blog,a new way of using the story of Sita. Since working with the religion & worldviews approach this has become one of my new ways of working. Taking a story & using AI & research to link it with a modern activist or thinker #teamRe . rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2024/07/18/s...

This is an amazing resource!

Hello #TeamRE - this looks exciting!
