Our next conference: GOD AND THE GOOD: EVENT FOR STUDENTS OF A LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES
Teachers

Kierkegaard

    Our teacher-study day from Summer 2021 is now available on-demand.

    Our teacher study-days treat teachers as they wish to be treated – as intelligent adults, as professionals and as passionate about their subject. We run these events on Saturdays so as to minimize costs to schools but don’t worry, study days are really enjoyable and, as the saying goes, a change is as good as a rest. In fact, several schools have made our Saturday study days into departmental outings, giving colleagues a chance to spend quality time together as well as sharing learning and ideas.

    “Kierkegaard” is a rare and unmissable CPD opportunity for all those charged with delivering A Level Religious Studies. Wittgenstein described Kierkegaard as the greatest philosopher of the 19th Century… and a saint. His ideas have profoundly influenced many of the greatest religious thinkers. Through exploring the work of Kierkegaard, which has been the focus of Dr. Peter Vardy’s academic work for the last four decades, he will aim to improve subject knowledge and understanding relating to A Level Religious Studies, exploring how Kierkegaard’s philosophy relates to:

    .

    1) God
    2) Faith and Reason
    3) The Incarnation and Person of Jesus
    4) Christian Ethics.

    .

    Previous events have attracted a good spread of teachers, from ITT trainees to A Level examiners and from NQTs to experienced non-specialists seeking to enhance their subject-knowledge in Religious Studies.

    “It was excellent: really interesting, enriching and challenging. It was also presented with passion & commitment, as if Augustine really matters (I think he does!)” PS, Yorkshire

    “Such days are always very insightful and worth the journey!” WA, Birmingham

    “Two highly able practitioners took free reign of the specification and … extended my understanding and engagement.
