Who is your "Dream Guest" to invite into the classroom?

As teachers, we sometimes feel like we have to be the expert on everything. But there is a special kind of magic that happens when a fresh face walks through the door.

The irony of teaching in 2025 is that we are expected to teach pupils about Artificial Intelligence, "Fake News," and finding the truth in the media... while working in classrooms with technology from 2010.

Taking pupils abroad can be one of the most rewarding parts of being an RME teacher, but let’s be honest—the paperwork and the planning can be absolutely terrifying.

This week, I am joined by Stuart McKinlay, RMPS Teacher and Chair of STARME @teachersofRME

We often say the best professional learning happens in those informal conversations during tea breaks—or in this case, over Zoom!

"RME needs more than a name change—it needs a radical overhaul. I argue for a fundamental rethink of the curriculum and purpose of the subject. What do you think a new RME should look like? #FutureOfEducation #RME #CurriculumReform

"Is Core RME just another chance for a qualification? My research shows 58% of schools are introducing certification into their RME classes, blurring the lines between RME and RMPS. What should Core RME be?

What is it we are asking pupils to do? I compare RME with other subjects to show the vagueness and complexity facing teachers. Is the RME curriculum setting teachers up to fail? Read my blog post to find out. #Curriculum #RME"

Forget boring lectures! I'm sharing a game I invented to teach natural selection using random kitchen tools as 'beaks' for my students. It was a huge success and a great example of how play-based learning can effectively teach complex concepts. Read the full story learningrmps.com/2025/09/28/t...

"active learning is too gimmicky"

Sometimes you have to do a quick time vs. learning calculations.

I have written about playing based learning and active learning on my blog.

Anyone else find they are having to cut bits out of teaching religion just to make it fit in your timeline?
Does this completely miss the point of RME?

Love to hear your thoughts

I absolutely love active learning in class but know it's not everyone's forte.
I've written a guide to help you think about how you can encourage more play and active learning.
You can find it on learningrmps.com
