Best Practice in Secondary Religious Education

Yesterday, five Secondary teachers shared their knowledge and expertise in Religious Education during our Director of Religious Studies meeting.

Following are the recorded presentations with a short synopsis.



Andrea Craig - Villa Maria College

Andrea discusses the benefits of integrating Office 365 tools within her senior Religious Education classes. Andrea provides a range of examples and reasons how the Office 365 suite increases interaction with her students and allows them to learn during anytime or place they like.

Sarah Southen - Marian College

Sarah presents alternative forms of assessment in Religious Education. Sarah started her journey by analyzing student performance  in PE and how Religious Education could provide similar forms of assessment.  Sarah is focused on the learning and development her students can make rather than focusing only on assessment results.

Chloe Onekawa - Catholic Cathedral College

Chloe analyses the impact Google Classroom has on student agency and accountability. Chloe recently trialled Google Classroom with her students on the Reformation Topic in Year 11. She surveyed her students and presents a range of tips on how to make student learning ubiquitous. 

Zoe Lynskey - Catholic Cathedral College

Zoe works with English Language Learners (English as a second language). As you will find out in her presentation she has particular strategies and skills that she draws upon in order to make Religious Education a safe and enjoyable space for her students. Please look at her presentation below.
