RE Teacher Weekend Seminars 2007
This seminars topics for this year's conference have been chosen to tie in with the title of the weekend:
"RE in the centre - the importance and relevance of R.E. in the 21st Century"
The programme covers a broad range of current topics and issues, with a mix of sessions covering both specialist and statutory issues.
The seminars are led by experienced, and are intended to educate, enthuse, promote discussion and ultimately aid teaching practice.
Over the weekend all delegates will attend four seminars. Seminars are marked as relevant to primary or secondary, or as generalist sessions, relevant to all.
In addition to the 4 seminars, all delegates will attend one of two plenary sessions being held at the weekend – one relating to primary and one to secondary
