Really enjoyed our Hums department meeting today. A focus on using choral response in a subject specific way. We read blogs by @claireharley.bsky.social @priteshraichura.bsky.social & @steplab.bsky.social module. All followed up by a discussion of how we are implementing it & how we can improve!

Since 2022 when I became a subject lead for Humanities I have discovered just how powerful a rigorous, coherent RE curriculum can be and how much it underpins and complements other subjects. Important words from Richard Kueh here.
