Reconstructing Religious, Spiritual and Moral EducationAuthor(s): Clive Erricker, Jane Erricker\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780415189460, 978-0415189460\nSynopsis\nReligious Education is now identified as a shortage subject as a growing number of pupils in schools opt for it. The growing emphasis on children's moral and spiritual education, the DfEE's hunt for new teachers, OFSTED's calls for improvement and reinforced links with philosophy have pushed the subject into the spotlight. Based on research and partnership with schools this book examines and explains :\n* the role of Religious Education in the curriculum\n* the role of spirituality in children's lives\n* better teaching practice, giving practical examples.
