Media Reviews
The RE Teacher's Survival Guide: A practical guide to teaching RE in primary schools, by Jane Brooke (BRF, GBP6.99), provides a wealth of material for a teacher thrust into subject leadership in a primary school. (It invariably comes as a surprise to well-paid heads of department in secondary schools that their primary colleagues have to take on subject leadership unremunerated. Indeed, it is not unusual, in small primary schools, for a teacher to have to take on more than one subject.) Thankfully, Brooke's comprehensive guidance to RE subject-leaders in a primary school answers all the likely questions. What are the pitfalls? How can you assess spiritual development? What if my teaching colleagues are negative towards the subject? How can I avoid offending Muslims and Hindus? What about a report to the governors? This is the stuff of sleepless nights. Worry not, this jargon-free guidance will give you all the help you need. Church Times Education feature, June 2014
