The Non-Statutory National Framework for R.E. states that ‘RE provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life’ and in order to allow learners to consider and reflect upon these questions it is necessary to provide a learning environment where learners feel safe to explore and analyse a wide range of religions and concepts that will allow them to further develop their understanding of the world which we live within. Teachers could create a time at the end of the lesson and encourage reflection through their questioning; encouraging children to think about the questions they may have about R.E. Teachers could ensure this development of thinking skills through various strategies such as the use of talk partners to share ideas or asking children to close their eyes and think for a minute about any questions they may

In order to improve the area and society in which a school is based, is subject knowledge key to improvement of crime, economic welfare and wellbeing or are morels, values and communication skills a necessity. I think they are definitely a necessity and the remaining question is whether it is the role of the local school to teach these morels, values and communication skills or whether it is the role of the family in which an individual is raised in. It can be shown that schools are aware of this role from the following quote taken from (White, 2006) “The English School Curriculum aims to help every young person to live a fulfilling life and to help others to do so. It does this within a framework of democratic citizenship in which each person is equally valued and each person is free to make her or his own decisions about how she or he is to lead her or his life.” The Pastoral System The pastoral system is a curriculum that “combines all aspects of the school life which together contributes to the formation of the whole person” (ASCL, 2007). Before any statutory requirements were put into place, schools already recognised the importance of a citizenship curriculum.

What is meant by inclusion? Inclusion is an active not a passive process (Corbett Cited in Soan 2004:8) and no matter what background, religion, special need, race or disability the child should be include in the whole aspect of the curriculum. Having the environment and resources adapted to meet each individuals specific needs removing any barriers to learning and enabling every child to reach their potential. Inclusion is a big issue within mainstream education today and is very closely connected to the Special Educational Needs (SEN) practice already in place within schools. Many people believe that if a child has Special Educational Needs he/she should be educated in a special school.
The next part of the essay will look at how practitioners in schools and in the field of social work can improve their communicative relationships with the children they work with. When communicating with children there various ways in which to do so, such as, verbally, non-verbally - through body language, gestures, facial expressions and eye contact. It is important to remember that when adults are not directly addressing the child and are communicating with a different child or adult in the same setting, other children will be absorbing the information sent out and will be learning and developing there own understanding of how to communicate appropriately with others. (The Open University, 2008) To allow communication to take place with a child who has a disability the key worker needs to be fully aware of the child’s needs, in order to know how best to communicate with them. At my place of work we are often signed up to one to one work with children we have not worked closely with before.
Good communication skills are essential for early childhood educators. This essay outlines how good communication skills provide advancement in student skill, through proper practices of collaboration between childhood educators, students, and parents through good communication. Classroom communication can be defined as a process of information shared that consists of verbal and nonverbal transactions between teacher and students, or between and among students, in a classroom setting (Kearns, 2012, p.33). Firstly, this forms the basis of skills essential for educators to increase student educational success. Secondly, children increase social and cognitive development from positive influences that are communicated by teachers.
