RESource Religious Education Curriculum Framework
In the Religious Education Curriculum Framework, the learning structure has three integrated components:
Three strands of learning: Knowledge and Understanding; Reasoning and Responding; Personal and Communal Engagement
Five content areas: Jesus and Scripture; Church and Community; God, Religion and Life; Prayer, Liturgy and Sacrament; Morality and Justice.
These each have content descriptors achievement standards
This is detailed further at the following link: https://resourcecem.com/learning-progression/
There are many opportunities within this curriculum to reflect on our capabilities and seek opportunities to care for creation.
Using the three strands of learning and five content areas, consider learning opportunities which invite students into the following questions:
- ‘How can I know God? What does God ask of me?’
- ‘Where do I belong? How can I make a difference?’.
- What empowers me to make a difference? What motivates me to make a difference?
- How do I find meaning / purpose in life? How might I encounter God in this search? How is this community a place of encounter?
- How do I express or experience connection to God?
- What call do I hear? How do I discern my response? How does this community foster right relationship with others and with creation?
RE Learning and Teaching Videos
In 2018, teachers and leaders from 60 schools in 23 partnerships are shared their practice in Religious Education, reflecting on learning and engaging in research. MACS has also identified schools whose engagement in the renewal work illuminates practice for others and created three short films. These films may act as an inspiration for your development of a learning opportunity in Session Five.
Where can we find opportunities for students to focus on ecology and care for creation?
MACS have created a 3/4 sequence of lessons which provides an example of how students can explore the environment and their duty as stewards of creation. Students delve into the concept of creation being a gift from God, and how they might look after it by making good choices in their own lives.
Can you see further opportunities throughout the curriculum?
