This day will focus on the contemporary pedagogies, learning design principles and the theology which has shaped the redesign of Crossways.   We will explore concept based teaching, the features of high quality teaching and learning in RE and how Visible Thinking strategies and routines can be applied to the RE classroom.  The structure, features, terminology and purpose of the redesigned Crossways curriculum will be unpacked and we will look at how 'Enduring Understandings' can add depth to students' skills in questioning, interpreting, making meaning and dialogue in Religious Education
