Steps in Religious Education is an interactive handbook designed to assist
those preparing to teach religious education in early years’ classrooms. It
also provides a sound general introduction to religious education in the
Catholic primary school context, with a focus on early years’ settings. Both
authors have been highly experienced and successful teachers of religious
education in Catholic schools, and are effective teacher educators in the
discipline. This book is infused with their experience and knowledge. Through a
balance of theory and practice, the reader-participants are led to consider the
nature and purpose of religious education, and to begin to develop a personal
vision of themselves as teachers of religious education.
