Religious Education in schools continues to be the subject of debate and is especially topical in our multicultural and multi-faith society. This book is designed to give students and newly qualified teachers a contextual and theoretical background to this subject, by exploring and challenging assumptions about the place of religion in education. The book is divided into the following sections: Section 1 sets out the context for religious education in the curriculum. It looks at political, social and religious influences on legislation, particularly in faith schools, and raises questiuons about assessment. Section 2 focuses on Religious Education in the classroom, exploring our understanding of religion and the concept of development in Religious Education. It also looks at teaching Religious Education to pupils with Special Educational Needs. Section 3 examines Religious Education as a whole-school issue, considering its relationship to literacy, citizenship, collective worship and spiritual, ethical and moral development. Issues in Religious Education Teaching will be important reading for student teachers at all levels, and will also provide a useful refresher for experienced teachers.

Industry Reviews

'This is an exhaustive study done with the needs of teachers in mind and it provides the starting point for effective and accurate inclusion of citizenship within the RE curriculum.'

- Clive Erricker, County Inspector for RE

'It is, clearly, a text book to service initial teacher education but also a map of significant debates that all teachers of the subject need to be aware of and position themselves within to ground the approach taken to teaching the subject.'

- Clive Erricker, County Inspector for RE

'This book is an impressive source of information as well as one of practical advice, in outline upon which addressing citizenship in religious education can be systematically served. Each chapter (11 in total) offers an introduction, a historical background, relevant legal documentation concisely presented (conventions, for example), planning notes covering skills and attitudes under attainment targets (QCA), and identification of resources, especially websites.'

- Clive Erricker, County Inspector for RE
