In this unit, pre-service teachers plan for, implement and evaluate teaching and learning in Religious Education using the Religion Curriculum of the Rockhampton Diocese. You will reflect on your own understandings of aspects of the Belief strand of the curriculum and identify challenges and approaches to teaching religion and expressing religious beliefs that acknowledge classroom complexity and the diverse and pluralistic religious backgrounds of students in Catholic schools. You will justify curriculum design choices and evaluate resources for their suitability for use with a specific class. In consultation with your supervising teacher, you will implement a unit and a classroom ritual or prayer celebration. Following planning and implementation, you will evaluate stakeholder responses to the images and language of God embedded in your planning and the construction of genres for worship, celebration and prayer experiences that reflect the beliefs and practices of the wider faith community.
