What do teachers say about this resource? (5480)
This is a highly valuable resource for SMSCE which will allow schools to become more active in SMSC education. It will allow all teachers who use it to include SMSCE in their teaching, regardless of their position or knowledge of the subject... excellent guidance, support and ideas particularly for teachers who are trained in a different subject. The teacher's guide is comprehensive, providing ample information for the resource to be used by a wide range of teachers in a wide range of situations... The teacher's tips provide excellent and often important information which will be particularly useful for inexperienced teachers or those whose experience is in other fields. I also really like the cross-curricular links section included for each story. This makes the publication suitable for a wider range of teachers and will help schools to embed SMSCE across the school curriculum
It's refreshing having a resource dedicated to spirituality rather than other aspects of RE (and PSHE, etc.). I particularly liked the reflective nature of the tasks... I feel the aim of the resource fits in very well with the overall aim of developing spirituality within the classroom.
The stories are a good idea and certainly something children will relate to... This resource could allow some reflection of values and discussion on shared ideals and personal responses to the world in general.
