Distinctively Christian Learning Faith in Research 4 th June 2014 Professor Trevor Cooling

The Church of England Background No Church school can be considered as part of the Church’s mission unless it is distinctively Christian. (Dearing) Church schools are places where a particular vision of humanity is offered. (Dearing) Faith and spiritual development at the heart of the curriculum and ensuring that a Christian ethos permeates the whole educational experience. (Chadwick) A Church school curriculum that includes implications for pedagogy, curriculum content and school organization (Chadwick)

The Challenge Unwitting compliance with values and principles that may compromise those that they seek to promote (Helen Jelfs) Have assimilated the prevailing educational paradigm (Roger Street)

Distinctively Christian Anthropology? The tourist’s world is defined by immediate survival requirements, leisure activities and pragmatic transactions; paying for services, asking directions, securing help in case of an emergency and the like. It is a world that is often bereft of any spiritual experience

Distinctively Christian Anthropology? Foreign languages education should prepare students for two related callings: to be a blessing as strangers in a foreign land and to be hospitable to strangers in their own homeland.

Two Key Questions What are our aspirations for our pupils? What do our pupils imagine they are doing in their classrooms?

What if Learning…? Connecting Christian faith and teaching Seeing anew: How could a Christian understanding of God, people and the world provide a different way of seeing a lesson/unit? Choosing Engagement: How could the students engage with this new way of seeing? Reshaping practice: What changes to my practice do I need to make as a teacher? The approach
