In the classroom! - Sentientism 230

Sentientism

I recently gave this presentation to a network of Religious Education (RE) teachers from Northumberland in the UK. It's aimed at helping teachers bring the Sentientism worldview and its themes into their classrooms. Feedback and ideas are always welcome. Of course I'd love to help in any way I can too so please reach out in the comments, via the sentientism.info website or via @sentientism on any social media platform.The content is similar to my workshop sessions with:

- Church of England's Chester Diocese RE teacher conference

- WASACRE (Wales Association of Standing Advisory Councils on Religion, Values and Ethics (RVE))

- Hull SACRE Religions and Worldviews Conference

- Tower Hamlets and Hackney RE Network

- Wiltshire RE Network

- Kirklees/Bradford/Leeds RE Conference

- Newnham and Barking & Dagenham RE Network

- North East England RE Network

- Hull & West Riding RE Network

- Northumberland, Hillingdon, Wiltshire, Sefton, Oldham SACRES (committees that define local authority RE curriculums).

A big thank you to everyone involved for exploring the Sentientism worldview with me and with your students!
