Information and guidance on teaching about Huhmanism for secondary teachers, with concise versions of BHA’s most popular ethical and philosophical briefings for students.
Student pages cover humanist history, humanist activities and ceremonies, and humanist perspectives on religious and philosophical questions, ethics and a range of the social / ethical issues often studied in religious education. These include: abortion; animal welfare; crime and punishment; discrimination and prejudice; embryo and genetic research; environmental issues; euthanasia; family matters; health matters; human rights; "nature”; suicide; war; world poverty. All come with “learning about” and “learning from” discussion questions, and are particularly relevant to RE / RS / RME / RMPS syllabuses that include Humanism and / or advice to include children “of all faiths and none”.
Teachers’ pages refer to the recently published National Framework for RE, with its advice to include “secular philosophies such as humanism” and to Ofsted guidance on “social, moral, spiritual and cultural” education, and encourage teachers and advisers to adapt and select whatever is relevant to their local syllabuses and their pupils’ needs. There are further reading and resource suggestions for those who require more. Materials and guidance have been created with advice from teachers, and earlier and website versions have been used for many years in schools.
Pages are designed to be photocopied, so that a religious education department can easily make handouts for classes and share information and lesson ideas. Every school should have at least one copy.
48 A4 pages, photocopiable, printed on good quality recycled paper
