What is Learn, Teach, Lead RE?
The project is a learning partnership project for Religious Education with a focus on creating a community of enquiry and professional development across the southwest peninsula.
The project aims to support all teachers of RE irrespective of their experience or qualifications through practical support at hub meetings and the opportunity to participate in projects that develop their teaching skills and the learning experiences of those they teach.
We are a grass-roots movement who look to partner with others. We believe that encouragement and collaboration in research projects enable innovative practice.
All our hub leaders are teachers themselves who are developing their own practice. Some are Specialist Leaders in Education who work with Teaching Schools or support Initial Teacher Education Programmes, others work nationally supporting the teaching of RE.
A key strength of our project is that hub leaders are equipped through specialised training giving them skills and expertise. In addition our annual conference is a springboard for much of our work in schools, offering all those who attend the opportunity to hear national figures in the Religious Education.
Area 1: includes all schools in Cornwall, Devon, Plymouth and Torbay Schools
Ed Pawson is the Programme Lead for Area 1
LTLRE in Area 1 was launched in October 2012 through funding from the St Luke’s College Foundation . The funding means that the CPD enjoyed by increasing numbers of teachers is FREE to teachers of RE in state funded primary, secondary and special schools. In Area 1 we are now moving to a different model where a range of partners including SACREs, Diocese, Teaching Schools and MATs sponsor a hub and are looking for funding to subsidise our conference in Autumn 2018.
