@josephkinnaird Asking the right questions? I really like the Lincoln Diocese resource that Liz Manning posted just now as the suggestions for questions for each way of knowing were great. I think could support development of other questions #REChatUK

Q5: What are the challenges of using personal knowledge in lessons? #REChatUK

@RE_McGEE @TheREPodcast1 @josephkinnaird Haha - me too! #REChatUK

@TheREPodcast1 @josephkinnaird I love a snowflake task! #ReChatUk

Q3: Can you share examples of how you use personal knowledge in your lessons? #REChatUK

Hi everyone 👋🏻 #rechatuk

Not long left to book your place at #StrictlyRE . A day of RE focused CPD specific to your primary or secondary classroom natre.org.uk/events-courses…

I am so gutted that I can’t attend @NATREupdate’s #StrictlyRE this year, not only because the quality sessions on offer are worth every penny, but who in the RE world right now would want to miss a keynote from Vanessa Ogden? natre.org.uk/events-courses…

If you've not been to Strictly RE, I can't recommend it enough. Subject specific CPD across all phases & a chance to hang out with RE geeks. Plus I'd love to meet you all! Want to find out more... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s14… BOOK natre.org.uk/events-courses… #StrictlyRE @NATREupdate

Here are all the details for the seminar C sessions at this year’s #StrictlyRE. Not long to go. Make sure you book your place soon 👇🏼 natre.org.uk/events-courses…

Very excited for the RE event of the year! #StrictlyRE I’m still fairly new to teaching Islam so I’m really looking forward to @Shabnam_RE’s session to learn more about diversity in the faith. So good to see so many sessions by teachers for teachers! Best CPD ever @NATREupdate

If you’ve booked onto Seminar A with @TheREPodcast1 at this year’s #StrictlyRE here’s a little taste of what will be covered. Details of all the sessions on the day and how to book can be found here natre.org.uk/events-courses…

Excited to be speaking at Strictly RE! Which seminars will you be attending?

@SaimaSaleh_RE Resources, CPD opportunities, useful clips, national RE news and priorities #REChatUK

Thank you for this fantastic #rechatuk one last question before bedtime! Do you share my newsletters and PowerPoints with your groups? Do you find them useful? what would you like to see in them?

@ChrisNatre Making sure you ask what they want and need. Also being aware of hot RE topics that are popular eg assessment #REChatUK

Question 5. How do you aim to create a self-sustaining networking group? #REChatUK

@SaimaSaleh_RE @ChrisNatre Same as us - seems to be the best time to allow as many people as possible to attend. We are not an academy so can’t realistically do any other time #REChatUK

@ChrisNatre My meetings run best from 4-5pm, giving everyone time to get over to me from their schools. By 5, we’re all ready to go home and sort dinner etc. #rechatuk

Question 4. Does the venue or time when you hold your network meetings make a difference? If so, where has been effective? #REChatUK

@SaimaSaleh_RE Yes - I have had several speakers before @RE_McGEE, Ruth Flanagan and have also visited the Exeter Quakers #REChatUK

Q3. How have you used speakers or visits to form part of your meeting? #rechatuk

@CatrionaCard @SaimaSaleh_RE Yes we do this too and it allows us to link up with other local groups nearby to share expertise and to have speakers from further afield. Looking forward to input from @re_runner at our next meeting #REChatUK

#rechatuk Q2. Online or face to face? What are the pros and cons of each type of meeting?

@SaimaSaleh_RE I like to share a few @NATREupdate news stories, training or resources #REChatUK

#rechatuk I love starting my meetings with some cake and coffee- perfect after a long day’s teaching! I also love a quiz to start my meetings and use one that I can then give to my group to try out with their schools. How do you like to start your meetings?

@JoanneH_RE @SaimaSaleh_RE I also love the bonding over cake and biscuits in a face to face! #REChatUK

@SaimaSaleh_RE It might just be because I’m old but I prefer face to face. I think online is ok if everyone already knows each other, but it’s pretty impersonal. I love the supportive RE friendship that comes from in person networking #REchatUK

@ChrisNatre @SaimaSaleh_RE @NATREupdate I absolutely love my fellow Year 2 Leadership colleagues and we have learnt so much from each other. They are the most supportive group #REChatUK

@SaimaSaleh_RE @NATREupdate Charlotte Newman in this short article speaks about working with a mentor on the Culham St Gabriel’s Leadership Programme and how it improves networking opportunities. reonline.org.uk/2024/11/05/the… #REChatUK

Q1. What’s the best thing about networking? What do you do that’s the most useful? #rechatuk @NATREupdate

@SaimaSaleh_RE @NATREupdate It is great to make links with other local RE teachers and I have learnt so much from them that I have tried in my own school #REChatUK

#rechatuk Welcome!! Tonight’s topic is networking and being part of a local group. So what is a @NATREupdate affiliated local group? Find out more here: natre.org.uk/about-natre/re…
