Faith and Learning

Christian Studies Resources for the 2020 Classroom

This project seeks to develop faith and learning resources to support first-class Christian Studies teaching at The Scots College and beyond in light of the changing nature of the classroom. The project is designed to enhance the already well-developed Christian Studies program at Scots by creating tailored teaching resources that draw on both the insights of Christian educators and international academic expertise on the history, nature and challenge of Christian faith in a pluralised world. This project also aims to build the College’s reputation as a leader in faith and learning and serve other educators by providing exceptional resources designed specifically for use in contemporary Australian classrooms.

Specifically, this entails:
  • In 2015, a pilot program developing video and print resources answering the ‘Big Questions’ students ask of the Christian faith, embedded in a term-length Christian Studies teaching module. This program will see this content developed and implemented with classes and groups at Scots, and introduced to other partner schools for testing and feedback

  • In 2016-17, the creation of platforms for the expansion and distribution of these resources for purchase by other schools and churches. This may include:
    • A website hosting content and downloadable resources
    • The development of multiple curriculum packages with digital content, assessments and lesson plans
    • Faith and learning professional development sessions
    • A high-quality video course featuring Australian students in conversation about their doubts and questions about Christian faith
