Val Turner
Steph’s first teaching position was in Hereford, after which she taught ‘A’ level students at a VA school in Malvern before securing a post as Head of Religious Education in an 11 – 16 secondary school in 1982. She has been teaching since 1977 and still holds the same passion and desire to serve students with enthusiasm and commitment.
She is an Examiner for GCSE, and enjoys working with other colleagues. She sees the SIAMS inspection process as a vital opportunity for schools to receive affirmation of what they are doing extremely well, and where areas of development are needed. She sees it as a privilege to be part of the inspection process for First, Primary, Middle and Secondary Church Schools.
Steph enjoys travel and loves skiing and reading. She has a good sense of humour, and is absolutely passionate about RE teaching .

Teaching across the world’s religions
Teaching Religious Education is not just a skill but should be a mutually enjoyable activity where teachers help and share with children as they explore the world in which they live; their values and their beliefs. In church schools there is an added incentive to engage and support children with their own exploration of religion, and help them relate what they see through the media to their own life experiences. So:
How can I improve the provision for RE? What sort of activities can engage the children? Can we as a school be more imaginative in our approach to RE?
The day will provide the opportunity to:
• share in a series of short interactive activities designed to promote reflective learning across religions, including a range of festivals,
• reflect on how RE in your school can best respond to inspection processes.
• Improve the use of the mastery and conceptual approach to RE. Please note the resources and teaching ideas shared during this programme will vary to last year’s course.

Cost: £150 or free to SLA Schools
Imagine an approach to Christian nurture and education that:
� promotes knowledge, skills empathy, spiritual growth, � developed the needs of the whole child, � provides a multi-sensory approach to learning, � develops language and communication skills, � develops thinking skills, � provides depth and reflection in every session.
Godly Play is a creative and imaginative approach to Christian nurture based on long established, tried and tested approaches. It uses symbols and objects as well as words, and values process, openness and discovery. It invites listeners into stories and encourages them to connect the stories with personal experience. Godly Play is a non-coercive way to encourage children to move into larger dimensions of belief and faith, through wondering questions and open-ended response time. Delegates are asked to note this is a highly practical course, involving active story telling sessions.

Teaching across the world’s religions
Teaching Religious Education is not just a skill but can and should be a mutually enjoyable activity where teachers help and share with children as they explore the world in which they live; their values and their beliefs. In church schools there is an added incentive to engage and support children with their own exploration of religion, and help them relate what they see through the media to their own life experiences. So:
1. How can the school improve the provision for RE? 2. What sort of activities can engage the children? 3. Can we as a school be more imaginative in our approach to RE?
The day will provide the opportunity to:
• share in a series of short activities designed to promote reflective learning across religions, including a range of festivals,
• reflect on how RE in your school can relate to inspection processes.
Please note the resources and teaching ideas shared during this programme will vary to last year’s event.
